GPUs Supporting Dolby Vision?

[Zachicken]

Hello!

I've been doing a lot of research in regards to GPUs that support the playback of 4k 60 HDR 10/ Dolby Vision encoding while also being low profile. It's very difficult to find clear support from any source for any brand. I found a one that might fit my needs, but it's unclear weather or not it can support Dolby Vision. The card I have my eye on is the Sparkle Intel Arc A380 ELF, 6GB GDDR6, Single Fan, but it would be amazing if I could get a list of intel cards that are able to encode o and pass through Dolby Vision. Sorry if I'm misrepresenting some terms, I'm a little new to this lol. Thanks in advance!

Hi @Zachicken,

Thank you for posting here in our community. Intel Arc GPUs (including the A380) do support AV1 encoding with enhanced HDR capabilities, which is Intel's modern approach to high-quality HDR content. Intel Arc Cards with Similar Capabilities, A750,A770 however, you will need to install and setup Dolby Access and Dolby Vision from Microsoft Store and a Monitor or TV and an audio system that support Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos.

Do Intel® Arc™ A770 and Intel® Arc™ A750 Support Dolby Vision* and...

Let me know if you need more information.

Best regards,

Hello @RandyT_Intel , thank you for your response.

Just to make sure I understand correctly, what you're saying is I'd have to settle on either the A750 or A770 for full support of Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos? I have all the proper extensions as well as a TV capable of Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos.

On PC platforms and PC graphics cards, Dolby Vision is NOT supported for cable transmission in the sense of the Dolby protocol, as known from streaming devices and Ultra HD Blu-ray players.

• Standard Dolby Vision (DV) – Tone mapping in the display device (RGB 8-bit container).
• Low-Latency Dolby Vision (LLDV) – Tone mapping at the source based on data reported by the display device and transmitted in a YCbCr 4:2:2 12-bit container.

This is due to licensing reasons.
