But generally I'd expect Vulkan to be slightly better What did you mean earlier about not needing Vulkan for gaming, in that case? | 09:36:19 |
 K900 | Not needing AMDVLK | 09:36:27 |
| l0b0 | Oh right. | 09:36:34 |
| l0b0 | Thank you very much for the help! | 09:36:41 |
| K900 | Mesa already has a Vulkan driver for AMD | 09:36:45 |
| K900 | Which is generally better than AMDVLK | 09:36:53 |
| K900 | Both for compatibility and for performance | 09:37:42 |
| l0b0 | On a related note, any ideas why the HDMI audio signal could be cutting out, while the display is fine? | 09:38:13 |
| K900 | AMDVLK is basically a Linux port of the AMD Windows driver | 09:38:23 |
| K900 | With some proprietary bits removed | 09:38:32 |

On a related note, any ideas why the HDMI audio signal could be cutting out, while the display is fine? bear in mind that linux doesn't support hdmi 2.1 | 09:38:45 |

On a related note, any ideas why the HDMI audio signal could be cutting out, while the display is fine? Because HDMI is Like That, sometimes | 09:38:45 |
| 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 |
