Glossary:

  • orca: AMD's legacy proprietary OpenGL driver, used on Windows drivers prior to 22.7.1 and older versions of the AMDGPU PRO driver.
  • oglp: AMD's modern proprietary OpenGL driver, used on Windows drivers starting on 22.7.1 and newer versions of the AMDGPU PRO driver.
  • r600g: mesa's open-source OpenGL driver for pre HD 7000 hardware.
  • radeonsi: mesa's open-source OpenGL driver for HD 7000 and newer hardware.
  • xgl: AMD's proprietary Vulkan driver, used on Windows drivers and amdvlk (now defunct).
  • radv: mesa's open-source Vulkan driver.

AMD (Proprietary)

OpenGL

  • No known problems at this time

Vulkan

Intel (Proprietary)

OpenGL

  • GLSL compiler is very broken
    » Workaround implemented: No
    » Reported: No
    » Note: Intel proprietary OpenGL drivers are unsupported by RPCS3 due to their poor state.

  • Unsupported. There are likely other issues as well...

Vulkan

NVIDIA (Proprietary)

OpenGL

  • Floating point precision issues with Nan/Inf values
    » Workaround implemented: Yes (automatic)
    » Note: This is not a driver bug as it can be considered implementation-defined behavior.

Vulkan

AMD (Mesa)

OpenGL

  • No known problems at this time
