How about YOU show chapter and verse about how HDCP physically prevents this because that link up there specifically states it's possible on Linux, and guess what miners aren't forced to use Windows (and, note, even on Windows, they can install their own device drivers with access to the PCI bus and Nvidia can't prevent that).

Please proceed governor. Show me a method where I can read out a HDCP 2.2 framebuffer from another process. Should be simple right?

In the second message you say from another process. Do you agree that HDCP does not prevent a process from reading its own framebuffer? The first seems to suggest otherwise.

That's not actually an answer. You're just trying to dodge the question... how can you actually read out a HDCP 2.2 framebuffer from another (non-authorized) process? Answer the question. Ideally, let's see a code sample - since so far HDCP 2.2 is unbroken, the burden of proof is on you. You are the one making positive claims with the burden of proof. I highly suspect you don't have anything. I'm really interested to see what you've got though.

Could you create a hypothetical DRM authorization scheme such that an authorized process could have compute privileges on the hardware, and non-authorized processes could not - yes or no? And why? Please provide detail in your answer.

Yeah, people running Linux and other open driver stacks would probably be hosed. Sucks to be them, in this scenario. Why is that impossible in a technical sense, bearing in mind that the VBIOS in question will not generally allow you to run OpenCL or to push pixels out to an unauthorized display? Please provide detail in your answer.

I'm pretty sure you'll just pick a subset of these topic to address and pretend that it validates your point entirely. I really want to see your HDCP 2.2 breakthrough code though. You've talked a big game about how vulnerable HDCP is, it's time to put up or shut up. Read out some Netflix 4K clips for me, and push some code so I can do it too, if it's that easy to read out a HDCP 2.2 framebuffer.

Are you all talk, or no?

Is that a utility that can deliver a 15m segment of HDCP 2.2 content (i.e. Netflix 4K)? Lol no. As I said, the only attacks on HDCP 2.2 at the moment are downgrade attacks. Certainly nothing that can rip framebuffers out of VRAM like feedmegin claimed. Let alone if they really stepped up the DRM.

truth: HDCP 2.2 is not actually broken right now, the only way to break it is to get the devices to agree to a lower standard. If he thinks he can break it, I demand satisfaction.

The DRM thing is entirely a hypothetical. As I've stated repeatedly. It's a disagreement over a couple technical hypotheticals, that people seem to really dislike for some reason.

As for the Spectre thing... Meltdown really doesn't affect anything as far as consumers are concerned. On the other hand Spectre does... as far as consumers are concerned Spectre is actually way worse than Meltdown. As proven by benchmarks. Meltdown has 0% average impact on gaming on Intel, Spectre is like 10% or more. To the extent that I feel my 5820K might have been a bad decision overall.

Not gonna say that I have always been the biggest backer of AMD over the last year... they really haven't given me much reason for hope over the last couple years. I expect the least from them lately, and am occasionally surprised. :jeb:

But I do look at the evidence when people shove it in my face. I'm a consummate gamer in terms of my workload, and I'm thinking reeeeeallll seriously about a TR 2950X next year, if AMD can push the clocks up to 4.5 GHz or more...

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

Then don't post for a while man. Like seriously, take a break from the forums. I think people are calling you out (myself included) because you're managing to come across as angry and ranty in a lot of your posts and some of them border on making you look a wee bit on the unhinged side of things.

There are probably decent guides on the internet for them, but what I found is that many people oversold how much they could drop the voltage and keep a stable card.
Basically switch the voltage to manual (marked A) and take down the voltages that show up to the right. Don't mess with the voltages on the low frequencies. Concentrate on the ones in the top 3 bands (B, C and D). Those are the voltages that the card uses when it is running a high speed. My particular brand of card uses 1137, 1150, and 1150mV for those last three voltages. Drop them gently, maybe 20 mV at a time then play a demanding game or run a benchmark for a while to see if the game runs fine. If you keep doing that eventually the game will crash and you'll want to edge the voltages back up. Say it crashes at 1085 mV, well you might want to use 1100 mV even if it was stable at 1090 mV just to have some buffer.

On my card I had crashes using :
1080 1085 1090
I didn't have crashes using:
1080 1090 1095
So I use:
1095 1100 1105

If your cooling is good and your card stays pegged at the top frequency it will only really be using the top number for voltage. As a result, you might miss if your undervolt on the lower frequency bands is making the card unstable infrequently, so I'd be conservative with all but the top band.



Follow up question on this, does the memory setting matter at all?

The problem with his line of argument isn't that there's no possible technical way to restrict mining or make it so obnoxious that most won't bother. The problem is that any method of doing so would be so heavy handed as to piss off the entire legitimate market, too--throwing the baby out with the bathwater, so to speak. Any system that wasn't as heavy handed would be highly likely to be too weak to be a meaningful barrier.

I mean, poo poo, they could just cut out CUDA support entirely and call it a day. But they won't because that's stupid and the cure would be worse than the illness.

Rather, they've come out in the last day or two and done exactly what a few of us figured they would: ask retailers nicely to try to restrict card sales so individuals have a better shot at picking one up.

It does not do this, though. It stops things physically connected to the HDMI port displaying unauthorised content. Thats why its part of HDMI. The CPU can read it just fine.
Try taking a screenshot or streaming your screen while playing a protected content.. If you could just pull the video frames back off the GPU that would entirely defeat the purpose of the copy protection.

But that's not the argument he's making, in fact he's specifically agreed from the start and multiple times since then that it would be incredibly heavy handed with a lot of collateral damage and is thus highly unlikely to ever happen. He's just saying that those claiming such an approach is impossible are wrong, which they are.
