Very nice review, thanks!
Although this time the review is a bit unfair to Intel, benchmarking $8000 worth of Epyc vs. $5000 worth of Xeon CPUs......

No. They are doing this because they can.
If game developers run into driver trouble with the proprietary drivers, the only recourse would be to...

I got an AOC Q3279VWF (31.5" VA, 2560x1440, 75 Hz FreeSync) for 160€ on sale. After using it for a while, I don't understand how anyone could live...

This is not what I wrote. DC could be automatically enabled depending on whether unsupported outputs actually exist on the board, not whether the ASIC...

[chithanh]

HAWAII doesn't support VGA anyway. I don't know why DC is not already enabled for that chip.

Or some amdgpu.dc=auto which automatically decides...

Also the VLIW4 APUs (Trinity/Richland) support hardware fp64.

As most applications (especially games) don't actually use fp64. Users can...

[chithanh]

It's actually hard. Modern data links are quite robust against disturbance as long as electrical specifications are met. Together with FEC and similar,...

I guess the wording is confusing.

What they mean is that Ryzen APUs + discrete graphics are supported.
Ryzen APUs and the internal...

4Kn drives have come to market (started with drives inside USB enclosures, and now also SATA). But they will not displace 512e drives any time soon....

[chithanh]

This is wrong on all accounts.

For one, partition size is limited to 2³²-1 sectors as the length field in the MBR is 32 bits. That means...

[chithanh]

Then tell me what Flash/VDPAU issue would stop Chromium developers from enabling VA-API support in their builds. You have provided nothing of substance...

[chithanh]

That would be not using UEFI in the first place....

[chithanh]

I don't use Fedora, but I think as it is an upstream kernel problem it will fail on every distro the same way.

On my Bristol Ridge system,...

[chithanh]

The Chrome developers certainly do.
If videos work unaccelerated 100% of the time, but more CPU is used than necessary then the experience is degraded...

[chithanh]

All you do in this thread is shitposting. Not a single contribution of value in your entire post history. Instead of listing actual problems which are...

[chithanh]

I can totally understand that Google will not yet enable video acceleration. Especially with older AMD cards, this may lead to GPU hang or even complete...

DSC will also save DisplayPort lanes in sub-5K resolutions. This can be important for USB Type-C Alternate Mode, as [email protected] Hz would otherwise use the full...

No, I think the remark was about Crostini....

[chithanh]

It used to be possible, but I think there is no currently working extractor.

Here is what a Nouveau developer has to say about firmware ...

I think there is nothing wrong with using HDMI. DisplayPort is technically and philosophically better but if HDMI works for you that is fine.
