Re: [PATCH] drm/i915: Increase WM memory latency values on SNB with high pixel clock

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Please check the DRAM configuration for the systems that fail.  The higher latency is more likely with higher tRFC which is mainly found with 8 Gbit components.
