    Phoronix: RadeonSI UVD/VCE Video Acceleration Improvements Merged For Mesa 25.0

    At the start of the new year I talked about patches improving AMD Radeon video encode/decode for older GPUs. That work to the RadeonSI Gallium3D driver's UVD and VCE support has now been merged ahead of the Mesa 25.0 code branching coming up in just over one week...

    That's absolutely great, thank you very much!
    I'm not yet convinced that I will buy a RDNA 4 GPU, considering that it might come as white-colored, with RGB crap, no SR-IOV support, no CEC support, no graphical control panel (hence no advanced driver technologies) and no good multi-monitor power consumption.
    So I wish I have the best support for the current Polaris GPUs that I already have.
    Since this was merged now, I think Mesa 25 will be an absolutely awesome release and I hope every distro relesed from now on will come with it!

      You'll never buy another dGPU then, unless you want to splash out thousands on a datacenter card (which probably won't even have display outputs!).

        My aging but still useful Bristol Ridge APU laptop will approve. A little late AMD but I’ll take it.

        In similar fashion to Mad Max’s car…”The Last Of The Interceptors”…Bristol Ridge was the last of the Bulldozer based APUs and the pinnacle of pre-Zen APUs.

          Microsoft (C)(R) Windows(C)(TM) is your best choice. If you can't figure out how it works in other OS.

            I will still buy them as I need them, but I buy them only second-hand after a few years at a much lower price as they don't deserve to be bought new at a high price without the features that I want.

            What it works what?

            Can you figure how these features work on Linux without a control panel?

            Because I'm really curios how can you make them work if they are not implemented in the drivers (as there's no control panel to require them)...

              None of those require a control panel, and if AMD made a linux control panel it wouldn't support any of those features. Which is just to say, if that's what you want then ask for that. Don't ask for something unrelated because it will just confuse people.
