Seems like the latest rounds of intel UHD iGPUs handle VP9 and H.265 quite well and are only limited by the motherboards, still don't see many with a 2.0x rating. OTOH my Asrock j5005 embedded mobo I have runs 4kx60 HEVC seamlessly, while the GT 1030(rated HDMI 2.0b, bought just for the resolution not 60Hz) in my 3770K based system struggles at 4kx60 (same on the DP port) using the same demo vids at 4kmedia.org(less FPS and HDR demos are Ok). Benchmark tests at Phoronix indicated the 1030 would possibly tap out around 54Hz and it seems to be the case though it could still be a kernel/driver issue. Both are on same kernel and video stack outside of Nvidia and Nouveau hardware drivers.

I think the adoption rate for motherboards has been slow due to demand, which is only now it seems picking up steam. Watching this thread as I'm looking hard at Raven Ridge or the follow-on for main PC replacement. Linux kernel 5, AMDGPU, and Mesa just about there for drop-in support. Phoronix reported yet another Intel speculative attack vulnerability. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Intel-SPOILER-Attack

[QUOTE="Stevo_, post: 138395, member: 59"] Seems like the latest rounds of intel UHD iGPUs handle VP9 and H.265 quite well and are only limited by the motherboards, still don't see many with a 2.0x rating.
