- Reimplements the AMD workaround using an identity buffer to avoid the performance hit of doing multiple glDrawArrays for every single compiled set
- Reimplements first/count allocation using a scratch buffer to reduce allocation overhead when large number of draw calls is used
- Improve dirty state tracking affecting program state
- vk: Refactor out transform constants upload into a separate channel to avoid if possible
transform data uploads are quite expensive
- Introduces a gpu program analyser step to examine shader contents before attempting compilation or cache search
- Avoids detecting shader as being different because of unused textures having state changes
- Adds better program size detection for vertex programs
- Improved vertex program decompiler
- Properly support CAL type instructions
- Support jumping over instructions marked with a termination marker with BRA/CAL class opcodes
- Fix SRC checks and abort
- Fix CC register initialization
- NOTE: Even unused SRC registers have to be valid (usually referencing in.POS)
- Readback does not work at all with float textures on AMD openGL
Driver throws a bogus OUT_OF_MEMORY error regardless of amount of VRAM and system RAM available
- vk: Clear dirty textures before copying 'old contents' in case the old data does not fill the new region
- rsx: Properly decode border color - seems to be in BGRA format
- vk: better approximation of border color to better choose between the presets
- vk: Individually clear color images outside render pass and without scissor
- vk: Fix renderpass selection for clear overlay pass
- vk: Include scissor region when emulating clear mask
NOTES:
- vk: Completely avoid using vkClearXXXXimage - its 'broken' on nvidia drivers
Spec is vague about the function so its not an actual bug
ClearAttachment is clearly defined as bypassing bound state which works correctly
- TODO: Implement memory sampling to simulate loading precleared memory if cell used memset to preinitialize the framebuffer
Autoclear depth to 1|255 and color to 0 is hacky!
Primary:
- Fix SET_SURFACE_CLEAR channel mask - it has been wrong for all these
years! Layout is RGBA not ARGB/BGRA like other registers
Other Fixes:
- vk: Implement subchannel clears using overla pass
- vk: Simplify and clean up state management
- gl: Fix nullptr deref in case of failed subresource copy
- vk/gl: Ignore float buffer clears as hardware seems to do
- Mainly affected are colormasks and read swizzles
NOTES:
- Writes to G write to the second and fourth component (YW)
- Writes to B write to first and third component (XZ)
- This means the actual format layout is BGBG (RGBA) making RG mapping actually GR
- Clear does not seem to have any intended effect on this format (TLOU)
Fixes the following issues on Tales of Vesperia which requires SRM.
- Blacked out scene after the sleeping dog now renders correctly
- Ghosting effect. The ghosting was most noticeable as a delay between the character rendering and the cell shading around the character. This appears to be gone with this change.
- GL queries share the target binding (not asynchronous!)
- Discard active queries by closing them, leave closed queries alone (nothing to be done for discard op)
- Reimplements render target views used for sampling
- Optimizes access using an encoded control token
- Adds proper encoding for 24-bit textures (DRGB8 -> ORGB/OBGR)
- Adds proper encoding for ABGR textures (ABGR8 -> ARGB8)
- Silence some compiler warnings as well
- TODO: Real texture views for OGL current method is a hack
gl/vk: Bump shader cache version
gl/vk: Disable anisotropic override when strict mode enabled as it is proven to alter some games negatively
gl: Clamp buffer view range to not exceed the backing buffer size. Also add assert for the same condition
- Track asynchronous operations in RSX core
- Add read barriers to force pending writes to finish.
Fixes zcull delay flicker in all UE3 titles without forcing hard stall
- Increase zcull latency as all writes should be synchronized now
- ZCULL unit emulation rewritten
- ZCULL reports are now deferred avoiding pipeline stalls
- Minor optimizations; replaced std::mutex with shared_mutex where contention is rare
- Silence unnecessary error message
- Small improvement to out of memory handling for vulkan and slightly bump vertex buffer heap
- Forces Bitcast of texture data if input format cannot possibly be the
same as the existing texture format
- rsx: Other minor improvements to texture cache :-
- remove obsolete blit engine incompatibility warning. The texture will be re-uploaded if it is indeed incompatible
- Implement warn_once and err_once to avoid spamming the log with systemic errors
- Track mispredicted flushes
- Reswizzle bitcasted texture data to native layout
TODO: Also needs reshuffle according to input remap vector
- gl: Do not call makeCurrent every flip - it is already called in set_current()
- gl: Improve ring buffer behaviour; use sliding window to view buffers larger than maximum viewable hardware range
NV hardware can only view 128M at a time
- gl/vk: Bump transform constant heap size When lots of draw calls are issued, the heap is exhaused very fast (8k per draw)
- gl: Remove CLIENT_STORAGE_BIT from ring buffers. Performance is marginally better without this flag (at least on windows)
- Identify depth textures reaching the gpu via shader_read upload path
- Use correct timestamp counter for opengl
- inline draw_state::test_property because msvc doesnt do it for us
- Implement flush-always behaviour to partially fix readback from a currently bound fbo
- Without this, only the first read is correct, as more draws are added the results become 'wrong'
- Fixes WCB and cpublit behviour
- Synchronize blit_dst surfaces to avoid data loss when gpu texture scaling is used
- Its still faster in such cases to disable gpu texture scaling but some types cannot be disabled without force cpu blit (e.g framebuffer transfers)
- Memory management tuning
- rsx: on-demand texture cache rescanning for unprotected sections
- rsx: Only framebuffer resources are upscaled
- Do not resize regular blit engine resources
- Lazy initialize readback buffer when using opengl
-- These measures should help minimize vram usage
- Do not assume texture2D when creating new textures
- Flag invalid texture cache if readonly texture is trampled by fbo memory.
Avoids binding a stale handle to the pipeline and is rare enough that it should not hurt performance
- vulkan: Do not assume an aux frame context must exist in a well defined state as set in init_buffers() since the request might be external (via overlays path)
- gl: Do not bother waiting for idle before servicing external flip requests
- gl: Queue overlay cleanup requests to ensure only glthread attempts touching the context
- overlays: Do not compute size metrics for invalid/unsupported glyphs
- opengl driver optimization for nvidia. On nvidia glTextureBufferRange performance is horrendous
-- Initialize texture buffer to whole buffer at startup and use absolute offsets to read data instead
-- Over 2x performance in some cases (Resogun, TNT racers)
- gl/vk: Do not flip non-existent display buffers. Fixes spec violation at boot in TNT racers demo
- whitespace fixes for sys_rsx
- The scale offset matrix is fine but on real hardware the z results seem to be independent of near/far clipping distances
-- If depth falls within near/far, clamp depth value to [0,1]
- Force mipmap count to 1 if sampling from an RTV/DSV
- TODO: Better wcb flush detection, it should be better to re-upload the texture after it has been dwnloaded if expected mipmaps are > 1
