AMDGPU+RadeonSI With Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, One Week Later

For just showing where the Linux 4.9 AMDGPU + Mesa 13.1-dev RadeonSI is at as of this week, here are some quick results for a Radeon RX 480, R9 285, and R9 Fury. Tests only with low quality settings due to the poor performance and horrible rendering glitches with the higher quality settings, as outlined earlier in this article.

For more NVIDIA Linux benchmarks of this game, see last week's Deus Ex: Mankind Divided NVIDIA Linux Benchmarks - 13-Way GPU Comparison.

Details via this OpenBenchmarking.org result file. Basically even with the high-end hardware on AMDGPU+RadeonSI, unless doing extensive tweaking to the game's configuration file to reduce the visuals and using some out-of-tree RadeonSI patches, the performance is basically unplayable. I did try AMDGPU-PRO 16.40 again with Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, but it continues to crash immediately at start-up.

That's where things stand today with mainline Git.
