Hi,
I have a fedora38 desktop and having a problem playing 4k videos. When
playing some videos, my entire system becomes sluggish and slow to respond,
like the system is under extreme load or all resources are consumed by
graphics rendering.
Did 4k the sluggish 4K videos play smoothly in the past?.
This is the lspci info for my video card:
07:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]
Ellesmere [Radeon RX 470/480/570/570X/580/580X/590] (rev ef)
CPU utilization doesn't appear to be a problem, so really have no idea why
this is happening. Perhaps a missing codec? How do I control hardware
rendering?
What other information can I provide to help troubleshoot this?
inxi -Gxx will tell us which model and driver are used

"*All* of the RX 470s on release will be custom models from AMD hardware
partners. It’s the mirror opposite of the RX 480 situation—and it adds a
whiff of “apples-to-oranges” in comparisons between the two cards. The
clock speeds and cooling solutions in custom models can vary wildly."
