RADV Fast Clears Land In Mesa Git, Fresh Vulkan Linux Benchmarks Imminent
The patch by Bas Nieuwenhuizen enables fast clears by default, now that both The Talos Principle and Dota 2 are working with this potentially performance-boosting feature for this open-source Radeon Vulkan driver. There were quickly sign-offs by the other involved RADV developers and a few minutes ago landed in Mesa Git.
So if pulling down the latest Mesa 17.1-devel code, this performance-affecting feature is now on for Git.
In the next day or two I'll have a Mesa 13 vs. 17.0 vs. 17.1-devel (Git of tonight/tomorrow) Intel/Radeon Vulkan comparison of sorts... It's been what feels like a long two weeks or so since last running any interesting Vulkan Linux driver benchmarks, so that will change beginning tonight as I'm just about done with a large multi-CPU multi-GPU Linux gaming comparison that is going up shortly. If any premium supporters have other test requests, let me know as always.
