This is a follow up or part 2 of the first video, on AMD’s GPU encoder. I’d recommend checking that video out first if you haven’t already, then come back to this one. This video is focusing on testing this RX 6900XT using OBS, and again comparing it’s recording quality to an RTX 2080ti. I would have liked to have used an RTX 3000 series card, but unfortunately I don’t have one right now, although as far as I’m aware the encoder on the 2080ti should be very similar, if not the same. So, lets get into it. But first, if you haven’t already, consider subscribing for more videos every Monday, Wednesday and Friday!

So, much like the last test, I’m going to look at two sets of bitrates. 30Mbps which should provide decent quality for recording gameplay to edit and upload to somewhere like YouTube, and 6Mbps which is Twitch’s maximum supported bitrate, to see what your viewers will see live. And again I’m using both Watchdogs Legion and COD Modern Warfare. So, lets take a look starting with Watchdogs and 30Mbps.

In Watchdogs, at 30Mbps, there really isn’t much between them. Both encoders offer good enough quality to edit and upload, while still keeping file sizes at a reasonable size. I can’t say I could pick one out as better really. But, at 6Mbps… Man what a difference. The AMD clip isn’t unwatchable, but it definitely suffers more with the lower bitrate. The blockiness, especially when it got to the volumetric smoke effect made for a relatively unpleasant viewing experience – and not even being able to make out the wood grain pattern on the sheet on the floor wasn’t great. And, remember, this is the canned benchmark where the camera moves slowly through the scene. Watching a clip from in-game would likely fair worse.

And speaking of in game, let’s look at the COD clips.

Unlike Watchdogs, at 30Mbps the AMD clip was noticeably, if slight, clearer and sharper. That doesn’t mean the NVENC clip looked awful, it was plenty watchable, but the AMD clip was just a little better to watch, a little more crisp. But at 6Mbps, it’s a completely different story, much like Watchdogs. The AMD clip wasn’t horrific, but it was close. The blockiness was almost the difference between seeing a player and not – that’s not the most pleasurable experience when watching a stream. Not being able to make out textures in game goes a long way to making the stream look lower quality and that’s not great.

So, if you want to stream using your GPU’s hardware encoder, NVIDIA still offers a better experience for your viewers, potentially significantly. It’s still probably a good idea to use your CPU for that sort of low bitrate streaming, but if you can’t, NVENC will give you better quality. If you want to record your gameplay both are great, with a slight edge going to AMD for slightly better clarity.

If you take the drivers features into account, if you are only recording at higher bitrates, AMD generally does a better job at quality, and encoding options. But, at lower bitrates, where you’ll be if you are streaming, NVIDIA easily takes the crown.
