I have a FirePro V5900 (Cayman part from the Northern Islands family) which I run with EXA acceleration on 6.2. H264 video with a resolution of 3840x2160 and 25fps play flawlessly with the OpenGL acceleration in mpv (on a WSXGA+ display). Ostensibly this card can drive UHD monitors at their

Hi! Radeon drivers are specific per Radeon microarchitecture and Radeon microarchitecture version. The Radeon microarchitectures to date are TS 1, TS 2, TS 3, GCN 1, GCN 2, GCN 3, GCN 4, GCN 5 (TS = TeraScale and GCN = Graphics Core Next), in that ascending chronological order. [1] First,
