Marek Further Improves Radeon Mesa Performance

[Veerappan]

I also just did some tests of the new Asynchronous DMA engine in drm-next against a late 3.7rc kernel in Unigine Heaven
All tests are on:
AMD Phenom II x6 1055t
Radeon 6850 1GB
Linux Mint 14
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD BARTS
OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 9.1-devel (git-3392f2f)
S3TC is enabled
FP textures enabled
LLVM back-end enabled

It goes from 2.7 to 23 fps. Not quite a 10x increase. I'm out of time now, but after work I might run the full gaming suite and see what the overall improvements are.

Think - windows gets 100$ on every install. Linux - not.
Only if we support people who do opensource, we get opensource!
This is the only true way to appreciate their work.

30$ done. ^_^ More beer Marek!

Hmm, well, I was looking for someone to donate to in regards to graphics. But in the end I want to donate to KDE first, and it's just not worth the hassle to donate something like €3... Possibly next time around.

Marek alone justifies why free graphics drivers can work.

But they were all applied to master today, so now it's 0 patches.

Marek does it again!
This guy is amazing!

We need to clone him.

Thanks Marek. You rock.

Keep up the great work.
