I have a FirePro V5900 (Cayman part from the Northern Islands family) which I run with EXA acceleration on 6.2. H264 video with a resolution of 3840x2160 and 25fps play flawlessly with the OpenGL acceleration in mpv (on a WSXGA+ display). Ostensibly this card can drive UHD monitors at their native refresh rate that support the MST mode (two virtual panels at 1920x2160), while its longer brother, the V7900, can do SST mode.
