I meant 27.20.100.9030, not important though...all of the current 90xx drivers are affected.

Ok here the steps

 

1. Download MPC-HC 1.9.8.92: https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases

2. Download Summer Nature 3840x2160 AV1: https://www.elecard.com/videos

3. Open MPC-HC, go to options, click internal filters, click video decoder and choose Hardware Decoder DXVA2: https://imgur.com/a/UaNjvU7

...and then open the downloaded AV1 or any other AV1.

 

If your MPC-HC version is too old you have to install the newest LAV Filter manually and use external filter in MPC-HC: https://files.1f0.de/lavf/nightly/

I found that the D3D11 hardware decoder runs faster than DXV2 for AV1 videos which is possibly expected.

Hello MSchm21, I just received an update on this matter.

 

After reviewing the case, we can confirm that DirectX* 9 support for AV1 decoding has been disabled in the latest drivers since Intel® is on its way to deprecate native DirectX 9 support. AV1 decoding with DirectX 11 continues working as expected.

My reported DXVA2 AV1 issue has been fixed in driver 9168. Do you mean DXVA2 with DX9?

"My reported DXVA2 AV1 issue has been fixed in driver 9168", perfect excellent, it is great to hear that the DXVA2 AV1 issue is now fixed after installing driver version 9168.


In reference to "Do you mean DXVA2 with DX9?", just to make sure, what is it that you are trying to confirm? Could you please explain?
