Legacy GPU:
Older driver will be broken.
Still supported GPU:
Please upgrade to the latest AMD driver 16.5.2 or 16.5.3 (and prey that future driver will still work)
Potential issue
* miss a default value
* Renderer is DX9 again on windows
* Case issue
* Same default for all code paths
* overload of GetConfig
v2: separate specific OS option
Windows Vista onwards provides application specific volume controls, and
the local volume feature only interferes with it. Any volume adjusting
stuff probably belongs in SPU2-X.
Closes#629
The code wasn't used, and generally low level hooks should be avoided
since they affect the responsiveness of all applications. On Windows 7
and later, the hooks may also be silently removed if they timeout, which
could be possible under heavy load.
The close hacks don't work with PCSX2 - the WM_CLOSE message can't
actually be triggered for the rendering window. The hacks were also
designed as a workaround for some PSX emulator close window bugs, which
don't affect us.
Enable it to ensure correct rendering (FMV)
Disable it to reduce GPU/memory requirement
Option will likely be removed when the perf impact will be reduced.
It's more portable.
Use _mm_shuffle_epi32 instead of _mm_movehl_ps - I think it avoids
data bypass delays going from integer to float domains on older
processors, and Agner's tables indicate that the instruction has the
same latency and occasionally has higher throughput (depending on cpu).
And switch the _mm_xor_si128 and _mm_unpacklo_epi8 around so the same
constant can be used for both C bias and alpha.
* Fast accurate DATE is always enabled, it was faster than standard DATE
* The less fast version is always enabled too. It is likely barely used
so perf impact will be small on few game that could hit this path.
Nice rendering has a higher priority
* The "slow" path will depends on the date option.
Note normally it isn't too slow (-10%) if GL_ARB_shader_image_load_store
is supported but AMD crimson is an epic fail.
Fixes games like Time Crisis 2/3, which use two half-width display
rectangles placed side by side in split screen mode by using different
DISPLAY.DX values.
