Seeing as Youtube is rolling out support for streaming with the much newer AV1 codec that Intel’s ARC cards support encoding in, I thought I’d take a look

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

I hear a lot of people saying AMD’s GPU encoder sucks, or is significantly worse than NVENC, enough that some would buy an often higher priced NVIDIA card

So, you want to stream but you have a mid to low end CPU and can’t afford the performance hit that using the X264 takes, so you turn

The new NVIDIA RTX cards have an improved version of NVENC onboard – but does it hold up against the ‘gold standard’ of X264 encoding on your CPU?

Are you looking to stream the latest games but not sure if you should use the X264 software encoder or your GPU’s NVENC (or AMD VCE) hardware encoder?
