Mesa 12.0.6 vs Mesa 17.1.0 | RX 460 + AMDGPU
111If you thought the latest Mesa version magically offered better performance.
The funny thing is that I filmed most of this footage prior to my previous video pitting Mesa 12.0.6 against AMDGPU-Pro 17.10 but you guys made such a big deal about the fact I was using "old" drivers, I decided change the scope of the video.
You shouldn't be surprised by the findings in this video. They largely match what Michael over at Phoronix found in his benchmark - http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=mesa-171git-rx470
Assuming that the latest display drivers, especially the latest *development* drivers, will offer better performance over stable drivers is a myth. Never risk system stability over possible performance boosts. Its just not worth it.
