Rewritten OpenGL drivers make AMD’s GPUs “up to 72%” faster in some pro apps
- aidenn0 4y agoPerformance is nice, but I just want an AMD driver that makes it so my KDE taskbar doesn't glitch when compositing is enabled... [edit] This is for the PRO series and all newer than my GPU anyways so wouldn't apply.
- thomastjeffery 4y agoSome "pro apps" like Minecraft, apparently. It's pretty frustrating to see AMD put so much effort back into the segregation of its workstation cards with proprietary drivers. They just made so much progress with AMDGPU. People with consumer cards could be benefiting from this work right now, making all AMD cards (and the brand itself) more valuable; but that wouldn't help them squeeze more money out of enterprise customers!
- danudey 4y agoAnyone with a consumer card is benefiting from this work right now, if they're on Adrenalin version 22.7.1 or higher (from July). The professional validation of their professional-level drivers for their professional-level cards isn't some kind of proprietary driver segregation, it's a strong guarantee that these drivers are functioning and stable for professional users to stake their business on. "The AMD Software: PRO Edition 22.Q3 driver has been tested and approved by Dell, HP, and Lenovo for stability and is available through their driver downloads" For my gaming PC, I'm okay trying new drivers and maybe seeing some graphical glitches and having to downgrade. For a professional workstation, I would not deploy new drivers unless I know they're going to be as stable and reliable as the ones I have already. A 79% performance bump is useless if it crashes Maya every two hours or something.
