Netflix 4K now supported on Nvidia

I believe this just leaves AMD not supporting it?

And anything pre-Pascal or under 3GB VRAM:

When it was announced in early May, the feature required a Pascal graphics card with at least 3 GB of memory, leaving GeForce GT 1030 and some GeForce GTX 1050 owners out in the cold. Nvidia has released no official information about Netflix 4K streaming with the 384.76 driver, so we can only speculate that this requirement still exists.

Isn't this old news?

I don't know, the driver less than a week old, do you consider that old news? Or did you mean the preview driver? This is a WHQL driver. As an AMD user I know you don't get to see WHQL drivers very often, but it means it's a release quality driver that has passed Microsoft's testing guidelines.

Do you know when AMD will be supporting it?

Bacon, are you going to answer the question or are you just going to keep trying to slag on Nvidia? There's already an AMD vs Nvidia thread for that.

Guess the term " I believe " is a disclaimer somewhat. His reply was to show that your statement was not 100% correct or purposelly omitted. Not really sure what your intentions are/were but there is no need to turn it into AMD vs Nvidia thread.

It's about Microsoft's PlayReady 3.0 DRM. Now you expect AMD to enable support for DRM while there are murmurs of them open-sourcing the Platform Security Processor on the Ryzen CPUs? You can't have both.

The reason Netflix 4K required Kaby Lake CPUs till very recently is because of SGX was available from the beginning starting only with Kaby Lake.

Plus I'm sure that something that requires HDMI, HDCP 2.2, and Edge/UWP app to function properly is pretty low on priority.
