A good sample is this also:

If someone can try to play it in DXVA mode with Ivy and report GPU utilization during normal playback.
Also it would be useful to benchmark Ivy with that 4K sample.

IVB will be old by then  |
No I'm OK with 4K decoding and downscale to 1080p.
I don't really care - right now - for 4K output.

Mostly password auditing
...and some others too.
My final decision of buying Ivy will be 4K decoding performance and Thunderbolt.
I would like to see OpenCL performance too.
I think I have to wait for a few months for Thunderbolt and OpenCL and I hope normal H.264 and 4K H.264 benchmark results to come sooner than the first two.
@Jakmal
Maybe Jakmal could help with benchmark results of 4K H.264 decoding and direct comparison of QS1 (Sandy) and QS2 (Ivy) on 1080p H.264 clips.
I have a nice collection of 4K clips I could share for benchmark reasons.
