AMD, Intel and Nvidia driver issues and last recommended version

[VBB]

I can only comment on Maxwell and HDR pass-through, but I've had no issues with the new drivers, including the latest hotfix.

[SamuriHL]

Oh joy wonder what they broke this time. Lol

Great news for the 3xxx series, 10bits over HDMI is finally unlocked, which means that 40gb/s is enough for 4K60p 4:4:4. I had missed that.

See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtaMLPo3b8o

I'm waiting to hear more about the rumoured 3080ti with same 102 die as 3090, almost the same number of cores, full bus width and 12gb of VRAM. It's expected to cost under $1,000, possible as low as $899.

Depending on the clocks, it might end up as fast or even faster than the 3090 for much less money.

[EDIT: I grabbed a chance to pre-order a Zotac 3090 Trinity at non-scalping price expected to arrive on November 10. 24Gb still has an advantage over 12Gb for me, if I can get my hands on the card this year. We shall see!].

try this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRUrlZFty3A it looks horrific on my system if you load the same stream into let'S mpc-be it fine.
this is my last word about this in this topic if you want to discuss this in more detail feel free to do so in the driver thread.

So what are we supposed to be looking for? I just tested this clip and it looks fine to me... I have yet to see any "major issue" with AMD and web browser

Yes I have one single video which looks awful. I used Firefox first and it is the same in MPC-BE. So I think it is encoded that way. Just to remember I was referring to the background:

Why so harsh? I only read your vague comment in the madVR thread and asked for more details. I thought there might be something I missed.

I just watched that video. What issue(s) do you see?

[huhn]

extremely hard blocking on chromium based webbrowser in close to black details.
even using screenshoot fixes it so does playing it externally in a media player. i have no notice this on my nvidia system else i would not even assume AMD to be related to this issue.

my last word about webbrowser artefacts in the madVR thread not your general question compatibility.

ok should be a different issue.

[Klaus1189]

What is that "different" issue? How can I reproduce it?

[huhn]

you don't seem to have it. you really just have to watch the video and pause it is not impossible to miss.

i use vivaldi 3.4.2066.86 also tested a fresh install of chrome (has to go now) and the currently installed edge i'm on 19041 20H1 amd 20.10.1

[Klaus1189]

What info is displayed when you rightclick on the videoframe on your browser and click on "Statisiken für Nerds", sorry now it is "Interessierte". The video is available as MP4 with AVC encoded video and WebM with VP9 encoded video.
Perhaps that is also a point?

[huhn]

i tested these too it one of the first things i did. the browser uses VP youtubeDL in mpc-hc defaults to h264 mpc-be defautls to h264 so i DL the stream 248 and tested it locally.

what i just tested it in film and TV app it has the same issue a bit differently. taking a screenshoot and it's gone i have to move the player windows or go fullscreen to trigger it again.

that's such a mess. mpcVR is fine too with d3d11 (that kinda new BTW.) d3d9 is forced limited for me.

i guess reinstalling the system is faster then debugging this feels bad when i aim to replace it in 1-2 weeks.

does someone know if a program can know if a screen is taken from it?

[VBB]

After a clean install of 457.09, I noticed again that "optimal" behaves just like "adaptive". I've seen no reason to change it so far. YMMV

[SamuriHL]

Neat. I'm in the middle of doing a clean install right now. I was going to check HDR real quick and make sure they didn't break the metadata again. I've got the fury inline. I'll report back shortly.

[SamuriHL]

No change from previous drivers where HDR is concerned. Bringing up the player overlay will drop you back to SDR until you're back in full screen. Metadata is working as expected.

[angmav]

Can I ask a question are we nvidia owners that stupid that we need a thread with over 2000 posts to make sure our card works properly this is ridiculous that a massive company like nvidia cant hire someone to simply test this stuff I understand us home theatre pc owners are a small market share of sales but can any amd owners tell me if they have any issues because I think I am done with nvidia seriously every new driver fixes one thing and breaks another , now we have firmware that works different for different models then why release new firmware for it ,why not develop a different branch one for RTX , one for GTX , if I am wrong please tell me I am just over it

for AMD the GPU driver where just dying for like 6 month when decoding VP9 they renamed this bug like 5 times in the known issue notes before fixing it and DXVA and D3D11 processing are utterly broken for like a year now(madVR doesn't really use this).

just to give you a reverence point nvidia user are currently complaining about HDR stops working when a player bar or something like this is presented something AMD was never capable of.

this was an issue that went under the radar: https://github.com/GPUOpen-Libraries..._SDK/issues/33

So HDR basically works correctly again, but the SDR to HDR flicking when overlay is brought up. Hmm
What would be the latest driver not to resort to this behavior ?


I used to use 442.74 , but I might need a newer one for certain games to properly work

[SamuriHL]

Much older drivers. I don't even remember the branch much less the specific versions at this point that don't show the sdr behavior when the overlay is shown. Seems to be an intentional change.

It is intentional: https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.p...80#post1925280
Judging from the way they phrased it in that KB article, I don't think they'll change that behaviour again.
