Topic: Massive Lagspike on video load with AMD GPU accelleration

So, SVP has always hiccupped a little for me on a video load, all well and good. Never more than a second or two.

I recently upgraded my nVidia 1060 for an AMD 6700xt, however whenever I load a media file now with GPU accelleration enabled there is a really nasty lag spike for 5-10 seconds. this spike goes away when I set it back to CPU only mode. I assume this is due to OpenCL being worse than CUDA? Could this be an issue with Potplayer GPU acceleration? Any ideas at all?

Just updated other way around 480 to 3070 ti. No problems with both. Maybe try mpv ?

Maybe some parts of NVIDIA drivers are still in your system. Just remove all left parts of NVIDIA and AMD GPU drivers and make clean install of AMD drivers again.
To completely remove GPU drivers I recommend to use Display Driver Uninstaller:

Yup I nuked with DDU before swapping the card.

Hey how are things for your 6700 xt?
