+====== AMD GPU Issues ======
+VPX and PinUP work best with an NVIDIA GPU (graphics card).
+That is not to say AMD cannot work, but you may lose some functionality and may need some workaround depending on AMD model #.
+For Example, my old vpin had an RX480 GPU and transparent loading videos and 4K videos worked perfect. Others with RX580 report no issues as well.
+With the RX5700XT, 6700XT some users report that they cannot use transparent loading videos and 4K playfield videos stutter badly or just freeze after a few frames.
+for VPX: there will be texture issues (jaggies..etc). You must set the "alternate depth buffering' to ON for AMD GPU to work correctly.

+===== Transparent Loading Videos =====
+IF you cannot get transparent loading videos to work (which is a neat feature but not required) you will need to change your default loading video to Full-screen and only use full screen loading videos.
+See here for loading videos: [[https://www.nailbuster.com/wikipinup/doku.php?id=loading_video|https://www.nailbuster.com/wikipinup/doku.php?id=loading_video]]
+===== 4K Playfield videos =====
+AMD GPU users report that when using 4K videos for playfield that only a few frames with show and then freeze.  This happens with certain models of AMD (5700XT for example).  The issue I've found is that VLC/AMD doesn't like a certain pixel format for these mp4's.  420p pixelformat seems to be the problem as recording with 422pixel format works.
