Looks like AMD is now approximately par with Intel and Nvidia on the hardware encoders for most stream-quality real-time video encoding.
My 7900XTX does 4k60 AV1 on youtube just fine 🫠.
Shoutout to OBS VK-Capture, up your Vulkan Game Capture game today!
Intalled out-of-the-box on Bazzite.
env OBS_VKCAPTURE=1 %command%
Unfortunately YouTube is one of the only large platforms currently accepting AV1 ingest, so most places you’re still stuck with H.264, or maybe H.265 if you’re lucky :(
When I saw the
subscribe/viewer
pyramid scheme of Twitch to just be able to stream other resolutions 🫣.What do you mean by pyramid scheme? I am curious.
Ah I see. Streaming in general tends to have subpar quality.
Someday Qualcomm will stop being annoying and get AV1 decoders in all their chips and we can all move on from h.264
