Is there an advantage in movies for which graphics card manufacturer? AMD/NVIDIA/Intel???

Do they all give the same results in SDR/HDR??

They SHOULD be the same, in terms of image quality.
But in reality if there's problem with driver/configuration they might be different.
Or if you want some hardware video processing (not saying you should), there probably will be differences.

Thanks
But I don't understand

" problem with driver/configuration they might be different. "
Of course if there is a driver error, from the manufacturer, there are problems with viewing!
We talk every day that there are no errors!

" if you want some hardware video processing "

What video processing for movies shows different content?
And why?
Which video card lets me process content?
Which manufacturer has advantages for processing content?

1. I'm watching on "PotPlayer 64 bit"
I haven't found anything better for HDR yet

2. I am using a 65" OLED
G4 screen from 2024

The nuances of driver behavior, hardware decoding, and all the details that can be different mean there could be errors (e.g. blurring chroma data) during normal operation due to using an option that works fine with one vendor's drivers but doesn't work right with another.

It is very annoying. I wish the driver QA teams did more detailed testing of video decoding.

I am afraid there are no easy answers to this one and it can change with the next driver version.

They all have their own video enhancement stuff. None of it generates the same image as each other.

No errors = No difference
