Oh cool! I hadn't thought to enable the SOL unit but turn off all output from it. If that works, that would be fantastic. We could use that approach for all streams, and go back to handling RasterDiscard in the SOL unit, rather than the clipper (i.e. revert the gen7_sol_state.c hunk of d1e4e9960cbdfce6078cdc377809ea76c2eb7078). It would be much nicer. We'd probably need to keep the clipper RasterDiscard handling for Sandybridge, but it'd never be hit on Gen7+. --Ken
