 K900 | See above | 09:38:48 |
 @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | so at 4K, the best you're going to get is 60Hz | 09:38:53 |
| K900 | And yes, use DisplayPort | 09:39:01 |

so at 4K, the best you're going to get is 60Hz 60 would be fantastic, 40 is barely playable. | 09:39:15 |

bear in mind that linux doesn't support hdmi 2.1 Also, just to be pedantic, *AMD on Linux | 09:39:17 |

60 would be fantastic, 40 is barely playable. This is about the display refresh rate | 09:39:27 |
| l0b0 | My audio receiver unfortunately doesn't support DP. | 09:39:30 |
| K900 | Not the rendering itself | 09:39:41 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | you can get it to go 120Hz but it'll use chroma subsampling and it'll look like ass | 09:40:25 |
| l0b0 | I've not been able to get a properly working HDMI audio + DP video setup working. | 09:40:32 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | but anyway, where I was going with that is that I wouldn't be surprised if there's stupid jank with hdmi audio | 09:41:10 |
| K900 | Make sure you're using Pipewire and not Pulse | 09:41:27 |
| K900 | Because then there's like | 09:41:31 |
| K900 | A more than 10% chance it'll actually do audio passthrough | 09:41:40 |
| l0b0 | I am | 09:41:48 |
| l0b0 | * I am | 09:42:08 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | oh also make sure you're using an actually good hdmi cable. You do need good quality cables for higher bandwidth signals to get through unscathed | 09:43:28 |
| l0b0 | Yeah, I'm using HDMI 2.1 cables. | 09:54:09 |
| K900 | Are they certified HDMI 2.1 cables? | 09:54:28 |
| K900 | The cable saying it's "HDMI 2.1" doesn't really guarantee anything | 09:54:46 |
| l0b0 | There's just all sorts of stupid stuff going on, like only getting stereo sound via HDMI when DP is also connected. | 09:54:53 |
| l0b0 | Doesn't say certified anywhere, but it's not a no-name cable either. | 09:59:00 |
| l0b0 | And it doesn't seem to be possible to treat an output as audio-only. | 10:00:59 |
| l0b0 | And despite the receiver doing 4k throughput, when I connect it in parallel with the DP cable GNOME will only let me set it to 1920x1080, so I can't even use the display mirroring without losing 3/4 of the resolution! | 10:01:59 |
| l0b0 | Well I'll be damned! Steady 60 FPS when using DP + HDMI! | 10:05:42 |
| l0b0 | * Well I'll be damned! Steady 60 FPS when using DP + HDMI! At least on the main menu, which is where I was testing before. 49/50 FPS in game. Fantastic! | 10:07:50 |
| l0b0 | But time for bed. Thank you so much for the help and tips! | 10:08:10 |

 @sr.estegosaurio:matrix.org | I dream of declaratively configuring wine prefixes for my games… Like nix + bottles - GUI. | 00:26:16 |
