For those who might own one: Is the AV1 encode really that good? I'm waiting for a affordable card with av1 hw support to replace my RX 580.

X/Xorg with i915 modesetting driver only gives me displays going into power saving mode after starting X/Xorg.
Most seem to be having good results with Wayland/Sway.

I use ICQ15/18 for 4k/AV1 and 4k/HEVC, CQP mode is just unreal, talking about bitrate/second
funny thing, their ASIC and software changed over the years, I always use the same source material for my ASIC tests, and even Intel qsv changed between iGPU and dGPU:

It sounds to me like you're calling Intel lazy or incompetent, but I believe they're neither of those things. So, I'm trying to look for other factors and explanations to explain the current situation, and they're not hard to find. I'm sure that doesn't help you with your problems, but again I point to the monumental feature-set they're taking on. They don't just have to get everything working, but it has to be competitively fast and stable. That's more work than you think it is.

Originally posted by photom View PostI would love to learn more about the IP blocks Intel/AMD/Nvidia buy from some other vendors, and the ASICs they integrate in their GPU tech - that would be really nice to understand more of what is in there....I already learned a lot while reading source code and sometimes reading between the lines
I think there was an IP dump of Nvidia Ampere docs & code? I don't advocate nor participate in trafficking stolen IP, but it should mean there's information out there about some of their GPU internals.
