Wide-ranging inferences: Part II

You're making me think of the movie A Beautiful Mind.

I half-seriously express good wishes for your mental health.

Dang, I'm impressed... even a little scared.

Maybe thats why Nvidia doesn't want to open up. They simply fear linux people like skeevy420 deciphering their future products by analyzing cover names embedded in their codebase.

VCN 3.0? Come on, did you finally bring 4:4:4 encode?

of 10 bit av1?

I hope that RDNA 2 will come with HDMI 2.1 ports so we can enjoy the best quality of movies and games.

since computer video output standard is called displayport, i hope that rdna 2 will come with displayport 2.0.

Last time I tried to watch a movie in very high quality on Windows 7 with MPC-HC + MadVR (high quality settings), the GPU (RX 570) was on his knees, not being able to keep up.

i'm sure you used software decoding

DisplayPort 2.0 may be superior, but HDMI 2.1 still has amazing specs, and is on the best current displays.

No! Of 8-bit H.264!

No! Of 8-bit H.264!

it's so last decade

it's so last decade

actually, any format would do as long as it is 4:4:4... i mean, it's been years and amd still cannot do 4:4:4 encode?

nvidia and intel both support it by now (nvidia from maxwell+ and intel from ice lake+) so why not amd?!

[Random_Jerk]

Any ideas if any of these patches are related to VP9 decoding ? Navi cards never pretty much supported proper Youtube VP9 decoding on Linux, including on chromium-vaapi.

The best displays are TVs, not monitors.

I consider a best display to be one that is capable of 4K @ 120 Hz + HDR.

I bet the displays that can fill this requirements are 99% TVs and 1% monitors.
