AMD Vega uses "a hybrid approach where the video and shader engines collaborate to offload work from the CPU"."
Will it supports in the future when MESA updated

Vega's implementation uses a hybrid decoding method with OpenCL shaders on the GPU. AMD would have to implement this for Linux. I don't think the hybrid decoder is even supported on Windows with DXVA anymore: https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/7j...r_a_while/ . You would have to convince AMD to implement a hybrid decoder for VP9 on Linux. I doubt this happens.
