This way ogl_vertex_storage must be safer to activate
And it brings a nice performance boost (game with lots of primitives and
reasonable upscaling)
SotC testcase 4x: 61fps => 78fps
Note yet enabled because I'm afraid of data corruption but feel free to test it
The option:
ogl_vertex_storage = 1
Performance note (warm cache+gs replay on colin3)
60 fps -> 76 fps
* Only a single VAO
=> Format is set once
=> Only a single bind at startup
=> GSVertexBufferStateOGL is nearly useless
=> barely faster but better than nothing :)
Add the --gles build option to the linux main script
Ifdef all gl code not supported on gles3 (note some will be reenabled for gles3.1)
Note: it probably doesn't run anymore. My Nvidia driver doesn't support
yet egl/gles so I can't test it. Feel free to contribute.
A bit slower. Maybe because SubData does the copy in the driver thread. My memcpy is done on
the main thread. I'm not sure it would worth an extra thread to copy vertex data to the GPU
Note: testers are welcome. You need to edit the ini file.
"ogl_vertex_storage=1" <= enable the extension
"ogl_vertex_storage=0" <= disable the extension
Again you need the support of GL_arb_buffer_storage (i.e. not catalyst)
Best setting if you driver support GL_NV_depth_buffer_float => GL_NV_Depth = 1 & logz = 0
Otherwise => GL_NV_Depth = 0 & logz = 1
Explanation of the bug:
Dx z position ranges from 0.0f to 1.0f (FS ranges 0.0f to 1.0f)
GL z Position ranges from -1.0f to 1.0f (FS ranges 0.0f to 1.0f)
Why it sucks:
GS small depth value will be "mapped" to -1.0f. In others all small values will be 1.0f! Terrible lost
of accuraccy.
The GL_NV_depth_buffer_float extension allow to set the near plane as -1.0f.
So
"GL z Position ranges from -1.0f to 1.0f (FS ranges 0.0f to 1.0f)"
will become
"GL z Position ranges from -1.0f to 1.0f (FS ranges -1.0f to 1.0f)"
and therefore
"z posision [0.0f;1.0f] will map to FS [0.0f;1.0f]" as DX
Yes we just get back all precision lost previously :)
However you need hardware (intel?) and driver support (free driver?/gles?) :(

* redo most of the texture upload (PBO): colin3 benchmark: 32 fps now (vs 26 fps 2 weeks ago)
* use the cross vendor vsync extension on linux (previous wasn't supported by nvidia)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5721 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* uniform was wrongly set before the activation of the program (free driver only)
* Always use only 1 drawbuffer. Easier besides previous setup was wrong for convert:ps_main1
GLES trial (v3):
* add the cmake option GLES_API. Note library (libgles) are hardcoded for the moment
* Disable opengl check
* Disable gl_GetDebugMessageLogARB not supported!
* Emulate gl_DrawElementsBaseVertex, add manually the index offset (surely slow but work)
* Fix hundred of shader error (no implicit cast of integer to float...)
Unfortunately GLES doesn't support dual blending so no blend in hardware renderer. Otherwise it is fine
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5700 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Separate state and shader compilation into separate function
* replace various hash_map by basic array
* Compact VertexScale and offset into a single vec4
* add the new option "ogl_vertex_subdata": subdata is faster on FGLRX, test are welcome on Nvidia drivers
0 => use map/unmap
1 => use subdata
replay: add "linux_replay" option and compute some nice stat (mean, standard deviation)
cmake: recreate shader header at build time
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5682 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Remove bad redefinition of glActiveTexture and glBlendColor pointer
* Remove glew dependency on linux
* s/OGL_DEBUG/ENABLE_OGL_DEBUG/ and enable it on debug

* Update project files
* basic compilation fix: include stdafx, s/uint/uint32/
* add selection of the opengl renderer/device in gsopen
Remain to fix opengl function declaration/initialization

zzogl: rework the shader interface to use struct like CG. Shader are still broken because some variables (gl_color & gl_secondary_color) are not supported in vertex shader...
