    AMD Updates More Radeon GPU Firmware To Fix VP9 Video Decode Glitches

    Phoronix: AMD Updates More Radeon GPU Firmware To Fix VP9 Video Decode Glitches

    Back at the start of March AMD published updated VCN firmware to fix VP9 video decoding on Rembrandt APUs and other GPUs. Today is a new round of AMDGPU firmware file updates believed to firmly address the VP9 video decode glitches for a wide range of AMD GPUs...

    These are just general GPU firmware updates. Not specific to any one issue.

      Is there a problem with the GitLab or the automations? The merge request for it today mentions it's for the VP9 issue - https://gitlab.com/kernel-firmware/l...e_requests/192

        Not sure. The commits are correct, but the description came from the previous VP9 firmware update for some reason. This is the PR I sent to linux-firmware:

          I still have the same glitches problem after last update. But it seems the problem is fixed on this update. So I personally believe the this round did fix the decoding issue. But I am not sure if decoding issue is the only issue they fix during this round of commit.

          By the way I followed the tutorial to replace the linux-firmware of the system with the git version

            The fact that AMD puts little effort into supporting encoding/decoding and video/productivity work is the reason I'm most likely settling on a nvidia gpu for my next gpu purchase.

              This might be the case for you but when I want a light laptop (mine is 1kg) with graphic processor that can run AI software (e.g. Stable Diffusion, which need 6GB of RAM). AMD is the only choice.

                Holy christ, how obvious of an Nvidia fanboy are you XD
                The article you are responding to didn't even exist anymore starting from April 12th 15:36 GMT.
                You responded on April 13th 15:31 GMT-5 in other words April 13th 20:31 GMT, over a full day later!

                You actually went into the Radeon Linux Drivers section of the forums, to complain on an article that doesn't even exist anymore (proving you never read the articles you respond to, lol). And my god does it show how terrible your research capabilities are.
                The issue only affected AMD APU's not dedicated GPUs. When it comes to dedicated GPUs AMD actually does perform admirably in video production... wait a minute I have linked this benchmark multiple times in response to you, oh right, you are clearly an Nvidia fanboy, 0 doubt about it now.

                  That's the only conclusion an AMD fanboy would make - nvidia is a horrible company but their closed driver actually supports the tasks in video editing etc. and other productivity programs - too bad AMD is concentrating on only gaming, eh?
