Interesting for Haswell and Broadwell.
- Improved video playback through partial hardware acceleration support for the VP9 video format. - GPU accelerated decode of HEVC video file format including both 8-bit and 10-bit support. This will provide improved video playback capabilities on the platforms. https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Det...&DwnldID=24596 |

I tried that driver and doesn't look to have a DXVA decoder device for VP9.
Unless it's not named as VP9 or maybe DXVA Checker doesn't recognize it. I also tried 10bit HEVC clips with latest LAV Video 0.63.41 HEVC DXVA decoder and I only get a black screen with no decoding.

v. 3960.
Why ? Are you looking for comparisons between drivers ?

Because I noticed some differences from my previous driver (4029).
This video: http://demo-uhd3d.com/files/uhd4k/De...vely_Swiss.zip With driver build 4029 GPU usage was low and CPU usage 80-100%. With driver 4080 I get 40-50% CPU usage and 90-100% GPU usage in Potplayer (colour issues unfortunately), in MPC Home Cinema there is only a black screen. This video: bbb-3840x2160-cfg02.mkv GPU usage is higher than before, 99-100% usage now. Previous usage was ~80%. |

10 bit HEVC dxva decoding by intel? I not sure if intel Haswell HD IGPU has the hardware to decode it in first place.
This one probably refers to upcoming Broadwell. ^.^ If this 10bit dxva for haswell igpu really work, somebody please inform NVIDIA that their competitor already has 10bit dxva working. AMD too. Last edited by JohnLai; 15th January 2015 at 14:58. |

From what I've seen its still kind of pointless, as it only supports 8-bit output, so while it may be able to decode it partially, it then probably rounds the 10-bit output to 8-bit, which degrades the quality.
I need to check in more detail if its actually possible to get it to output 10-bit.

So, it's possible to decode 10bit HEVC using a hybrid decoder. Quote:
If all modifications are inside drivers, I think it could or should work instantly, without modifications of LAV video. Or at least fallback to SW mode.

They probably broke something else.

But it uses DXVA. Also, PotPlayer plays fine in DXVA those Samsung NX1 clips posted above http://www.imaging-resource.com/news...ailable-for-do, when LAV DXVA native crashes immediately. Also, LAV DXVA copy-back doesn't crash, but falls back to SW decoding using the above NX1 clips.

HEVC 10-bit has a special second decoder device called HEVC_VLD_Main10 (or {107AF0E0-EF1A-4D19-ABA8-67A163073D13}). If any GPU supports proper 10-bit decoding, I expect it to offer this device. Its the only way to really know if it supports it or not, without hard-coding a list of GPUs, which I would be very reluctant to do. In fact, the DXVA2 HEVC specification clearly states the the HEVC_VLD_Main device shall only be used for the "Main" profile, and HEVC_VLD_Main10 for the "Main10" profile. So far I have not seen this new device on any GPU, even with Intels new driver which presumably claims 10-bit support.

OK, but Samsung NX1 clips are not 10bit, they are 8bit.

Thats unfortunate, as I'm unlikely to get a Broadwell-U CPU. Maybe once a desktop Broadwell comes out, or maybe the rumors are true and NVIDIA has 10-bit support in the 960, and working on it there may work on Intel as well.

I really like the speed of posting in Intel forums by Yups The Broadwell thing crossed my mind, but I didn't want to think that, that was the reason. Probably VP9 HW acceleration refers to Broadwell only as well. Quote:
Personally, I'll move directly to Skylake, skipping even desktop Broadwell, even if Skylake is not going to be released along with desktop Broadwell as Intel says. In my opinion, Skylake will come after desktop Broadwell due to the well known Intel's delays, but that's only a speculation.

Broadwell-K might be interesting to see how GT3e performs but Skylake-S with its Gen9 has a newer Gfx architecture, it should support HEVC decode in hardware finally. This is much more appealing.
Quote:
Broadwell-K and Skylake-S are both scheduled for H2 2015. Broadwell-K might come 2-3 months earlier though. |

BTW, nobody wanna report the mis-exposure of 10bit HEVC DXVA interface for Haswell IGPU at Intel forum? |

I fixed the Samsung clips, they work fine now.
For 10bit.. Intel broke their drivers, similar to the problem that NVIDIA had quite recently. For some reason, EVR tries to accept a 10-bit/16-bit input (P016 in this case), but it fails at it, resulting in overall playback failure. NVIDIA had the same problem a few weeks back, when a driver update caused P010 to be accepted by EVR, but EVR did not handle it properly and failed. Someone should bring this to Intels attention. You can work around this problem by disabling P010 and P016 output in LAV if you use EVR.
