Adobe Flash Player 10.1 Accelerated by ATI Stream Technology

[BDKsoft]

Not working at all on my 5770 with 10.8 catalyst .. I getter better performance when gpu acceleration is turned off.

[abaj006]

Poor AMD they can only afford to advertise on YouTube.... my next machine will definitely be AMD though, because i know they don's spend my dollars on marketing

[bladdan]

@abaj006 stfu nvidia fag

[imnewdontblameme]

Wow! I works really perfect!

[BaarsDesign]

what does... I don't see any difference :S

[pacorocks1]

@BaarsDesign if you had a netbook, then you would deffinatly see a difference.

[BaarsDesign]

@pacorocks1 actually I do have one :P

[LauxHawk]

where do you get 10.1?

[lizardmannnn]

Beta versions are out but full versions come out soon.

[evilmagic43]

wait isnt this for the netbooks and thier ion graphics?

[bobjoe212x]

@evilmagic43 ion is nVidia's Netbook Graphics Solution.

BIG BUCK BUNNY!!!!!!!!

[ShadowwwLFS]

ATI PisStream plz.

[k5lta]

come on man...

[aaaaaFuck]

Well if Adobe's flash continues to remain as bloated and inefficient as it is, then at least offloading the work onto the GPU will reduce the impact somewhat.

[T2DMrBungle]

By the way, DXVA doesn't work on my computer when I install the 9.11 driver that is supposed to enable this Flash acceleration. They fixed one thing and broke another - and DXVA is much more important to me than this.

[tommarnk]

wait for non-beta flash ;P

[myself1223]

Hahaha - since when is it not possible to make video look better? Have you ever downloaded a video and then played it back using a player that uses HW acceleration? The quality is way better - esspecially if you turn on some of the video processing enhancements in the control panel.

[mpx1]

Big Buck Bunny looks better without the enhancements.

[MasaruGamer]

Man, I know I am going to get flagged hard for this but the only reason why I would not switch to AMD is because the laptop processors they make are horrible, grated I am using one now.

I mean you can not find a good thin laptop with an AMD proc and a decent ATI gpu in it (there is nothing above the 4200 gpu )

please if I am so heavily mistaken correct me

[tommarnk]

that would be the HD 3300, but the 4200 is not far behind and it also has better video quality futures than HD 3300 ;)

[aaaaaFuck]

4000 series scales much better with anti-aliasing turned on

[aaaaaFuck]

I think the problem is that AMD doesn't have the resources to get them into mobile form quickly. Though they do have some interesting plans on their roadmap.

But if the market for the past 10 years was fair, they would have more than enough resources to do it (see antitrust lawsuits against Intel).

Personally, I refuse to buy from Intel.

[german199denuevo]

downloaded and using ;)

[andy16666]

Hmmm....I wonder when the linux version will get this.

[avynian]

It's not only about image quality but also power efficiency.

[LiquidFriction]

yes but this enables the video to be rendered on the GPU rather than software based

[thelasthallow]

ok. and will this work with the 4xxx series under windows vista?

[clays121]

Or by the CPU, which most Flash vids are rendered with the CPU, I was like why did they just not write it from the start to render on the GPU, and not the CPU?? makes ya wonder if it was push from the CPU makers to get people buy higher end systems they did not really need.

[BorkaBonum]

The CPU is still the most important part of a computer hardware configuration - and in most cases the CPU manufactorer does not produce proper expansion VGA solutions - so your speculations are without much real practice.

Intel is still the biggest supplier on CPUs on the personal market, but they still doesn't have any expansion VGA solutions. It's first lately AMD is offering both CPU and VGA solutions - so trying to frame them for the previous lacking Flash programming would be unjustified

[LiquidFriction]

software base = cpu

[operationturkey]

For people with low-end systems but a discrete GPU this will allow smooth playback of 1080p footage through flash that is otherwise unplayable running on a low end CPU. There are lots of people with crappy PCs that just wont playback HD flash videos, so don't bitch, this is helping them out.

[func0il]

As I see this is for the laptop/ super slim notebooks. It will benefit the battery life because MPEG4/H.264 is more efficiently decoded by the GPU . Yes I agree that the image quality depends on the algorithm of the decoder not so much on which processor it is executed.

[BorkaBonum]

thelastshallow, this isn't about making it possible for stream or view video, but making FLASH playback more effecient by potentially increasing minimum performance while reducing hardware stress - most noticable on weaker and/or more portable devices where battery times are a factor.

[thelasthallow]

ok its for laptops i get it. iv got a 1.6GHz Dual core laptop and i can watch HD video on youtube just fine. imho this is not needed.

[BorkaBonum]

If the Flash 10.1 would be integrated on, lets say, YouTube you should still potentially end up with stronger battery life. And with the upcoming 1080p features on YouTube your laptop CPU might end up unneccessarily stressed for it to be a good configuration today.

[T2DMrBungle]

if nothing else, GPU acceleration can give you longer battery life because they're more efficient at this than CPU's are.

i think it's also exciting for home theater PCs. you can combine a cheap, low-power CPU with a cheap GPU and have enough processing power to render true high def movies.

[cyther39]

@thelasthallow well. try to watch 1080p utube videos on your 1.6ghz core2 duo, you will see.

[thelasthallow]

@cyther39 i watch 1080p on an AMD 1.9Ghz Turon Just fine.

[Manguitom]

i'm already using it and the difference is noticeable. using a vaio ux i couldn't see smooth hd youtube, now it plays smooth and almost smooth fullscreened on windows xp gma950 modded drivers

[azt3c]

i think it can play smother than with the cpu but the video example on this video is a joke, its not possible to gain that much quality running the video using the GPU.

[azt3c]

hahahaha this its a joke, is not possible to make a video look better.

a video has a certain quality base on kb/s, is not like a video game that you can change the quality from the options menu.

[ltohio]

the idea is not to make the video itself better but more rather the output. i mean if you have say an integrated graphics card then upgrade to a discrete card performance of video increases. its just like switching normal vision into HD.

[yourma2000]

so will this Stream + Adobe Player 10.1 help with the new Youtube HD 1080p videos?

[kitasitatata]

What the..? Why did they remove the first video of this? (it was almost exact same)

[miritkenny]

First
