ehh wait 1920x792
though mod8 should be no problem, not 2.40:1 so someone wanted to save every pixel here i guess

Glitch confirmed. I'll try newer drivers and if all else fails, I'll report this clip.

Update
Newest driver doesn't solve this. I'll report this clip.

Well it's a very old encode (edit: 5 years), so it's not a big deal. IIRC CoreAVC also had this problem with some x264 encodes back then.
I could just re-encode it to fix the problem, but thought I'd see if it could also be fixed on the decoder side.

Broken clips such as this one will help produce a better HW decoder/driver. Keep 'em coming. Thanks.

Eric,

is it possible to give us a direct QS1(sandy) vs QS2(ivy) comparison on H.264 dxva benchmarks of my collection ?

I think both native DXVA and MSDK modes would be useful (maybe together with DXVA-CP)

What about 4K H.264 decoding playback utilization of GPU and some benchmark performance ?

Can Ivy decode complex 4K H.264 clips of today like the Crowd Run- 3840x2160@50fpsRef4-275Mbps ?

Some figures would be useful.

If you have a clue - that you can share in public - about HDMI limitation of motherboards, it would be very welcomed to share it with us.

Is the lack of 4K output something that will be fixed in the future by M/B manufacturers, or we must forget about 4K output in current generation of Ivy processors ?

I was thinking of upgrading to Ivy platform but I think I'll wait for:

1) Drivers to include OpenCL functionality (and check out the performance)

2) Motherboards to include Thunderbolt

3) Motherboards to include 4K HDMI output ? (or DisplayPort ?)

4) Prices to drop ?

I don't have comparable systems to check. I can run tests on a reference board but I'm too busy lately and the setup is not quick.

Quote:

IVB is about 50% faster. I'm saying "about" because some clips will stress the memory subsystem so IVB might get less than 50%. Low bitrate clips will do that.

Yes. As long as they are H264 high profile (or lower).

I don't know the details. Some connectors (screens) are driven through the PCH, this might be one problem. Maybe it's an HDMI limitation.
HDMI 1.4 supports up to 4K (4096x2160) but only at 24fps.
Unless you have money to burn, you should wait for two things to happen:
1) Screens become mainstream ($$$).
2) Real content (movies/tv) becomes available.
IVB will be old by then

Quote:

Do you really care? What OCL apps do you use?

Quote:
2) Motherboards to include Thunderbolt
Nice to have but mostly relevant to laptops. It's a nice way to connect multiple high speed devices through a single cable.
More and more products are launching that use Thunderbolt but their price might be high.

Quote:
3) Motherboards to include 4K HDMI output ? (or DisplayPort ?)
You'll need to wait for DisplayPort 1.2 capable mother boards or GPUs. IVB is DP 1.1.
The Radeon HD 7000 series support 4K displays.

Quote:

Prices are always dropping and products are getting better. The longer you wait the better deal you'll get but in the meanwhile you're stuck with an aging platform...

A good sample is this also:

http://xhmikosr.1f0.de/samples/2160p...x264.CRF24.mkv

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.

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.

Just to clear things up:
IvyBridge can decode 4K H264 video in HW easily.
IvyBridge has nothing to do with Thunderbolt (it's a separate chip). Thunderbolt existence is up to the board manufacturer.

Do you know why your QS decoder refuses to do this? I took a brief look at it after finding the section in LAV Video which disabled DXVA2 for > 1080p, but didn't see anything obvious.

I think nev mentioned he disabled QS when the resolution is greater than 1080p - it's a legacy workaround. One user reported he changed the restriction and got it working.
He should fix his code.

Media SDK sample DS filters

Some users wanted the compiled Media SDK Direct show filter. Here they are.

I just took another look with the latest LAV and QS loads (not sure why it wasn't before), but the CPU utilization is much higher than DXVA2 (3-4x). Obviously not a huge issue since 4K doesn't matter yet

CPU utilization will always be higher than DXVA since I copy the frames back to system memory. This simplifies the SW stack and removes several DXVA limitations. Video can then be easily processed by SW and using a subtitles filter is possible.
LAV video decoder have an DXVA option and so does ffdshow.

I understand that, but it shouldn't be 3-4x (the difference b/w 3-4% and 12-15% on a i7-3770K) higher, right?

12-15% seems a little high.
Do you mean the player's process CPU utilization not the entire system?
Which clip did you use (bitrate, codec, resolution)?
RAM type?
OS?
32 bit?

That limit has been removed for ages, ever since you added the option to disable software fallback.
There is only a resolution limit for DXVA2 Native (not even CB), because auto-detection of 4K support is not working yet.

I also did a (very quick) test with QuickSync and 4K decoding, and it does not activate itself for me.
Might be a driver thing, i dunno. Need sleep, more testing when i have time.

Nev still no idea why 720p.mpg is crashing with Lav Video DXVA2 on Intel it seems definitely to be a implementation issue as every player seems to crash that seems to implement laurents DXVA 2 code somehow ?

Potplayer seems to be the only ones that avoid this crash now
