Help me by signing this petition about neflix 4k on pascal GPUs

[Bashoot]

"Pascal GPUs meet the highest standards for PlayReady 3.0 (SL3000) and support HEVC decode in hardware, bringing the capability to watch 4K premium video on the PC for the first time. In coming months, consumers will be able to stream 4K Netflix content and 4K content from other premium content providers on Pascal-enabled PCs."

This is what was promised to us with the release of the pascal line of GPUs. But they didn't fulfill, and neflix 4k is only supported on Intel's Kaby Lake CPU line. Now the Nvidia 1xxx series has proven to decode the netflix standard but netflix still refuse to support it on Nvidia GPUs. Help me change their minds.

I doubt this will gain traction, as I imagine Netflix signed an exclusivity deal with Intel and doing so would break their contractual obligations, opening them up to legal action.

While were at it can we ask them to have a fully open source client and don't use drm?

I still don't understand exactly why if your hardware is more then capable to game at 4k, why it can't watch 4k Netlfix with compression... This is just ridiculous. If someone has a GTX 980 TI and a i7-4790k there is no reason they shouldn't be able to stream 4k Netflix. This is just a blatant money grab.

Disappointing because I refuse to upgrade my system.

Well, The worst you can do is try to make them change their mind, or fulfill their promise. Wont hurt to sign if you believe in the cause.

netflix can't do much. Its stupid laws like the dmca that are causing this. There forced to follow the drm requirements of all the content owners(twc, comcast, others) They could allow there content without drm if they wanted. They could also do a big fuck you and allow all content without drm, but there getting shutdown for doing that.

 

Its not a tech limit at all. Its a legal limit.

Agreed, if you have a Skylake or hell even a high end Broadwell SKU, there is very little reason to upgrade. They haven't made nearly any IPC gains. They are just DRM'ing certain things in order to bend your arm behind your back.

Call me a pessimistic but I dont think 100 signatures going to change a million/billion dollar signed contract between 2 giant companies

A promise is not a legal contract, like they'd have with Intel. They were basing that claim when they likely had no idea about plans Intel and Netflix had in the works. In the business world things change. They won't change their mind, because it's not worth it.

Not just a 100, but each journey starts with a single step.

I don't plan to upgrade until I graduate or something die. So waiting for after 2020. I used a first gen before my haswell.

I've got a Haswell i7 4790 and I doubt I'll upgrade it for the next couple years, I'll only upgrade when the Motherboard or CPU dies, it does it's job more than well enough for now

[Bashoot]

That's the thing, nobody needs a kabylake i7 if their haswell CPU is just fine. Some of us only recently upgraded their GPUs and it's a damn shame that a powerhouse like the titan Xp can't run netflix 4k.

That ping though. Fiber usually gets 6-7 ms, if even that much. Hell I get 6ms with VDSL.
