@k900:0upti.meK900Except for weird compatibility reasons21:46:22
@k900:0upti.meK900At which point you will probably opt into them anyway21:46:30
@luke:vuksta.comLukeFair I guess21:46:44
@k900:0upti.meK900I am very confused by why AMD is advertising those as DP 1.4 though21:46:56
@k900:0upti.meK900Because DP 1.4 is supposed to include DSC21:47:01
@luke:vuksta.comLukeI gotta try HDMI now, see what it advertises 21:47:16
@k900:0upti.meK900It is going to be very little21:47:27
@k900:0upti.meK900https://trychen.com/feature/video-bandwidth21:47:50
@luke:vuksta.comLukeOh yeah, only advertises 60Hz21:52:09
@luke:vuksta.comLukeWell, this has been an interesting lesson in display tech21:52:25
@elvishjerricco:matrix.orgElvishJerriccointeresting. If this is correct, it seems the most I can get out of this 4K display without DSC is 75Hz22:06:36
@elvishjerricco:matrix.orgElvishJerriccowonder why that is. DP 1.4 can do 4K@120Hz without DSC, can't it?22:07:58
@luke:vuksta.comLukeThat is what I just found out22:16:50
@luke:vuksta.comLukeMy setting to disable DSC was monitor side though, perhaps yours is also not advertising the rates?22:18:01

In reply to @elvishjerricco:matrix.org
wonder why that is. DP 1.4 can do 4K@120Hz without DSC, can't it?
only with 8bpp
11:41:25
@atemu12:matrix.orgAtemu 10bpp is 97Hz max. 11:41:57
@elvishjerricco:matrix.orgElvishJerriccoIs the bits per pixel the same thing as the bit depth of like SDR vs HDR stuff? i.e. Does that just mean the 97Hz limit is for HDR?11:45:36

@k900:0upti.meK900Ish11:47:07
@k900:0upti.meK90010bpp is required for HDR11:47:12
@k900:0upti.meK900But you can do SDR 10bpp as well11:47:19
@elvishjerricco:matrix.orgElvishJerricco huh, well even at "89.98 Hz", /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0000:03:00.0/DP-1/dsc_clock_en still says it's using DSC, 10bit probably isn't the reason in this case? 11:51:16
@k900:0upti.meK900It could be using DSC anyway just to run at a lower link rate11:51:40
@k900:0upti.meK900Because higher link rates are more resource intensive to run11:51:50
@elvishjerricco:matrix.orgElvishJerriccoyea, and I mean it's not like it matters. IIUC almost no one can actually tell the difference between DSC on or off11:52:42
@k900:0upti.meK900Yeah it's designed to be "perceptually lossless"11:54:07
@k900:0upti.meK900Which is a very interesting choice of words11:54:12
