    really drm/UVD don't care.

    but the Patent stuff really hurt.

    to not have openGL3/4 support because of Patent stuff (s3tc,floadingpoint) really shots down any hope for an better means opensource world.

    be sure many more people think like this DRM(the bad) and UVD don't care but s3tc and floadingpoint graphics really care
    I know your just stating that you don't care about UVD because your cpu might be fast enough, but just putting it out there, there might be other people who care about UVD if their cpu isn't as capable as yours.....

      Just what kind of viewpoint is this? What about people with low-end or small scale machines? Then they are forced to use windose to view html5 VP8 HD or HD flash content and its OK with you? So here is your answer to them when they ask for this support:

      "No way pal, you can't accelerate HD video on this OS and AMD/ATI hardware because your system is a low-end piece of shit and my CPU can kick any ass you find on the market, so either upgrade it or get the hell out of my sight and use your windose to play your videos."

        And this is where your opensource driver love FAILS to embrace the linux community.. This is the point where opensource drivers are more proprietary than nvidia's WORKING binary blob...

          I think Q what more pointing out what was important for him, and just him, not for everybody in general.
          I personally would rather have the ability for open source driver OpenGL 3/4 before video decode (ok, ideally, both at the same time, but priorities are priorities), but if (read: when) I have an interest in using AMD's APUs in an htpc, then I'd probably want video decode first.

            The linux community? not the Xorg community? What about the wayland community?

              yes they double and so the resolution and codec complexity of the videos!
              and hey the UVD unit can not handle VP8/webM means your statement is pointless for HTML5+webM
              hey, who said new chips won't incorporate this support?

              All the web is moving towards HD content, even the cheapest and smallest linux devices can do it if they have nvidia hardware onboard and if you think video acceleration is only for htpc then discussion is pointless.
              Just tell me the name of your planet and... naah not again :P

                Where, and really please point this out, did I even remotely mention that video accel was only for htpc's? And please, refrain from the insults, or you might just bite off more than you can chew.

                  I really don't see the purpose of this thread other than flame baiting

                    on an long period you will not get any better than 1900x1200 pixels at 60fps with stereoscoopic view.
                    means no you don't get 4K resolutions with 100hz and multidimmensionalstereoscoopic views
                    means no.. every bullshit cpu in 2 years can handle this shit .
                    What happened to superscalar thinking? Are we still in the times of this chip?



                    What if the user not only watches a video but does something like this at the same time?



                    Destroy the video for several times and see the CPU cycles cry. It gets near the computation limit of my Athlon 64 X2 5600+ which is clearly a high-end class hardware. And this is only a low-res video
                    This is why video acceleration is so important. People won't be just watching the video but interacting with it and offloading video decode to the gpu is a good idea.
                    Your "low-end system does everything" theory can break easily with emerging technology so be careful with it...

                      This is true for all hardware - I wouldn't expect my old k5 system to be able to run a modern desktop env. Why do you say AMD/ATI are lying? Who do you think are the developers of the free ATI driver?
