    Lenovo pad pro 12: OLED with DC dimming, end of pwm flicker?

    Posted: 09 Oct 2021 02:44 AM PDT

    The Lenovo pad pro is the first and only tablet I found with an oled screen and 'advanced DC dimming for flicker free operation'.

    I'm very sensitive to pwm, so have been sticking mostly to LCD screens in the past. Could the Lenovo pad be the solution?

    What are your thoughts?

    Upcoming Radeon RX 6600 launch: A call for modern test systems and updated drivers

    Posted: 09 Oct 2021 01:45 AM PDT

    One flaw that some hardware testers will be able to remedy with the upcoming launch reviews of the Radeon RX 6600 (non-XT) is the previously widespread disregard of rBAR & SAM. Especially for this graphics card, which is mostly usable at 1080p resolution, it would be important that this feature is consistently included in the benchmarks. Of course, this does not only have to happen to the test candidate, but especially as well for every other cards.

    On the one hand, the AMD graphics cards gain an interesting single-digit percentage on 1080p due to SAM. On the other hand, the rBAR performance gain is clearly lower on nVidia hardware. Those who do not include rBAR/SAM in their benchmarks will thus represent the AMD hardware roughly 3-4 percentage points worse on modern PC systems. This would not be the end of the world, but it is still a systematic distortion of the results. However, this can be avoided by choosing a modern test system (and activate rBAR/SAM).

     

      rBAR/SAM Requirement Performance effect
    AMD RDNA1 AMD driver 21.9.1 approx. 5-6% on 1080p
    AMD RDNA2 stock approx. 5-7% on 1080p
    nVidia Ampere (non-LHR, before RTX3060) BIOS update approx. 2-3% on 1080p
    GeForce RTX 3060, 3070 Ti, 3080 Ti & all LHR models stock approx. 2-3% on 1080p

     

    rBAR/SAM is available with Zen 2/3 processors on mainboards with AMD's 500 chipsets as well as Comet Lake and Rocket Lake processors on mainboards with Intel's 500 chipsets. In addition, the motherboard manufacturers partly offer their own rBAR/SAM support for even older systems. Since all new hardware will automatically be rBAR/SAM-capable in the future, this change should finally be made (and the rBAR/SAM status should be explicitly stated in the test conditions).

    The use of many different driver versions by some hardware testers (where values of the initial RDNA2 launch from last November were still partly used), should also be abolished or at least strongly reduced at this opportunity. The hardware testers should finally take a step forward, because for the Radeon RX 6600 XT (released in August) the field of benchmarks on really up-to-date systems and drivers has already shrunk noticeably.
