This sounds amazing!!!
GFX ring fix itself don’t affect speed significantly. But it allow to improve scheduling.

Now this as well
Amazing progress. You went from 26 to 33 to 76fps. Linux screenshot (a mature driver) shows 97. You’re making great progress.

A mature driver rendering directly to the card output iirc
Modern graphics use compositor and 2 buffers swapping. Direct drawing to framebuffer will cause tearing.

Since GFX ring operation is fixed, I improved command packet scheduling by allowing to schedule multiple packets in GFX ring and wait in proper place instead of schedule function.
Now I get 114 FPS in instancing (asteroids) demo with high clock settings.

Is that surpassing the Linux driver!? And if so, how so?
No, Linux has 243 FPS on the same demo and same (high) clock settings.

Ah, I saw a figure of 97 FPS, must have been for something else. Still another massive stepwise improvement 
Awesome progress,

I do 100% agree.
How does the Windows and linux driver compare to each other with the asteroid scene endering ???
You’ve barely begum and already 50% of linux performance.
At what point would you want more hardware to test with. IE more cards from different families
I currently have no Windows installed on that PC.
At least when display output and app_server integration will be implemented. Currently it require 2 GPUs to run.

Keep us updated, I’m sure we can all send cards, i think i have a hd7770 laying around, we could probably scrape some $ to buy you a newer card/s if you want

I’m sure you have seen this, but these tools might be of interest
97 FPS was on Linux with power_dpm_state set to low.

This driver can show stats as the temperature? how will be the thing with the energy options? and the set of the states are in the terminal ?

Are you at a point where you can use the dpm libs from the opengou driver yet ?
