[SOLVED] AMD GPU: VA-API/VDPAU which one should I install ?

Hello all,
I'm a bit lost with AMD GPU, I own a Ryzen 7 5800H with Radeon Graphics, "Zen 3" Core Architecture.
I have no idea and was not able to locate this information, which GPU comes with that chip.
according to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardwa … on#AMD/ATI I have two options:

AMD and ATI open-source drivers support both VA-API and VDPAU:

    VA-API on Radeon HD 2000 and newer GPUs is supported by libva-mesa-driver.
    VDPAU on Radeon R600 and newer GPUs is supported by mesa-vdpau.

Could you please help me choose the right one and maybe also understand the AMD GPU series ?
Thanks

Should be Vega. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radeon_RX … e_(2021)_2

VA-API should work. Not sure about VDPAU.

VAAPI .

look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardwa … son_tables and notice how little non-nvidia cards support on vdpau .

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Oh right, thank you
I tested VDPAU but it was, as expected (not from me wink ), failing, so I confirm VAAPI is the right one.
Thanks, closing this thread

You should be able to get both VA-API and VDPAU supported on that hardware.

Try this in /etc/environment:

VDPAU_DRIVER=radeonsi

Then log out & back in again.

I think I'll keep VAAPI as it seems more common for AMD GPU.
