VDPAU Video Playback For The Radeon RX Vega On Linux
An oversight from yesterday's AMD Radeon RX Vega Linux review was forgetting to mention the VDPAU video playback capabilities for this Vega graphics card on the open-source driver stack.
Like older AMD GPUs with the video decode engine, RX Vega supports accelerated GPU-based video playback using the Gallium3D VDPAU (Video Decode and Presentation API for Unix) state tracker.
A number of Phoronix readers had requested the vdpauinfo information for Vega, so it's embedded below for your convenience.
For the VDPAU performance on the RX Vega 56 I uploaded some data via qvdpautest on OpenBenchmarking.org.
And a look at the AC system power draw and GPU temperature of the RX Vega 56 during qvdpau test:
Those details via this result file.
