RX 5000 Series Hardware Acceleration is still broken

It's unfortunate that AMD has still not fixed hardware acceleration issues with RX 5000 series GPUs. 

 

My biggest issues are:

  • Letter Boxing on fullscreen video that comes and goes with activity/mouse movement on the monitor that is full screen.
  • Occasional severe frame drops and pauses in video playback which can happen when GPU usage is pinned. (A Freesync display paired with other mixed refresh rate displays causes this the most)
  • Occasional frame time issues when gaming and watching a video.
  • About a pixel wide green bar under YouTube videos.
  • Gamma shifts in video content (New issue induced from the latest driver version).
  • Some apps that are hardware accelerated can induce stutters/frame time issues with the rest of the system, apps like Discord and FB Messanger are an example.

Thankfully my R5 2600 has no problems picking up the slack for Google Chrome, but my $329 RX 5700 should not be this gimped. Hardware acceleration is a basic feature of any GPU. 

 

I run a 1440p 144Hz Freesync monitor over DP and 2 1080p 60Hz monitors over DP and HDMI to DVI. Freesync and hardware acceleration have to be disabled to get a usable experience. 

 

Any RX 5000 Series owners out there that have experienced similar issues?
