Okay, sure, I get that. In an ideal world, HW decoding would be enabled by default in distros but I know from experience (ehem... Ubuntu 17.10) that the...

[Brisse]

And for a lot of us, it's working really well. It's simple to try and if it works properly then it's totally worth the effort. Not sure why you have to...

[Brisse]

Thanks, that's good to know. I'm on Debian Sid which is currently shipping mpv 0.27 | mesa 17.3.9 | ffmpeg 3.4.2

I don't usually use Wayland...

[Brisse]

Don't think so. In Wayland they are implemented client side so it's up to mpv developers to add that stuff, but it's probably not trivial since mpv doesn't...

[Brisse]

Also, HW decoding is waaaaay more energy efficient.

[Brisse]

Just run mpv from the terminal. The output makes it pretty obvious if HW decoding is used or not. For AMD just use 'hwdec' or 'hwdec=auto' to have mpv...

RX 580 is indeed looking good. I was surprised to see it was pretty much on par with the Fury in RotTR at 1080p and awfully close even at higher resolutions...

Enverex Just saw a comment about DXVK on GoL. Maybe that'll interest you.

[Brisse]

Enverex Sorry, but that would take me forever. I don't have Wine installed and my internet connection is really slow.

[Brisse]

Aah, nice
Was having this dark screen issue with my Fury.

[Brisse]

Nope, doesn't seem to be implemented in Linux version.

Tried mutli-GPU on Windows, but it doesn't work well (microstuttering) so I'd rather...

[Brisse]

Just a little heads up if there's anyone else out there with multiple AMD-cards. I have two Fury's on Debian Sid with Mesa 17.3.9. Vulkan apps, including...

Why is Handbrake interesting when we already have x264? It's just more of the same. Handbrake is relying on libraries such as x264 for encoding.

[Brisse]

Did it freeze mid sentence while you were writing ? ^_^...

[Brisse]

These should do about 4.25GHz from what I've seen, so about 300MHz more than first gen Ryzen....

[Brisse]

That makes no sense and does not check out with the Windows benchmarks I've seen thus far (Gamers Nexus, Sweclockers). Are you sure you are looking at...

[Brisse]

I could say the same thing about my first gen Ryzen 1700X which I got at launch day. Doesn't pass the kill-ryzen test though....

[Brisse]

Pretty sure my secondary R9 Fury shuts down and gets close to zero Watts in Windows, while in Debian both of them constantly idles at around 15W. Wonder...

[Brisse]

I think they usually release in the afternoon or evening so there's gonna be a few more hours of waiting. Hopefully it still counts as a Linux sale :...

[Brisse]

Or from any truck. No need to call out specific nations or people. That's just prejudice, and possibly discrimination.

But I do agree with...
