Didn't M$ have an extension in their store for a price?

The license holders want to charge OEMs additional fees for hardware-accelerated decoding / encoding.

Please read this.

@Marc-Goder this is all unclear to me. If you downgrade to a previous driver, you lose your codecs for GPU acceleration?

No, it's just an announcement from AMD that OEMs can disable "hardware acceleration."

This applies to the product series mentioned there.

It only applies to the purchase of new hardware.

Your existing hardware remains unaffected.

I build my own desktops (have been for the last 30 years) so thank you, no worry!

So OEM's might be forced to disable these features? If so, that's messed up...
