RTX 5000 series might just play 12k to 16k video

The full details aren't out yet but noticeably you can see it now has 2x the decoder units (for the 5080 and 5090) and it's 6th gen (fingers crossed on the maximum decodable resolution still🤞). But at the very least it those cards will be able to decode two separate 8k videos at the same time. I wanna see some of that Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive footage at 8160 x 7200 per eye lol 🤞

NVIDIA Decoder (NVDEC) 2x 6th Gen vs NVIDIA Decoder (NVDEC) 1x 5th Gen

Yeah, awesome that they so strongly increased the video decoding capabilities. Let's hope that SLR will do something with it

Yeah we got to wait for the actual specs of the decoder (otherwise it will just be for the 5090 and 5080) but fingers crossed

Seems very likely we'll get higher then 8k decoding on the new rtx5000 cards now:

3D video is starting to catch on thanks to the growth of VR, AR and mixed reality headsets. The new RTX 50 Series GPUs also come with support for MV-HEVC codecs to unlock such formats in the near future.

RTX 50 Series GPUs include 4:2:2 hardware support that can decode up to eight times the 4K 60 frames per second (fps) video sources per decoder

SLR should really keep PCVR...

MV-HEVC is very similar but allows for the left/right or top/bottom stereo 3D views to be stored in separate layers rather than in 1 large container. So this means the decoder limits will be per eye and not for both eyes which is HUGE. We'll finally have 8k+ playback support 🥳

It's basically the same format the AVP uses https://360labs.net/blog/apple-vision-pro-video-formats-explained#:~:text=With%20each%20screen%20having%203%2C660,at%2090fps%20and%20in%20HDR10.
