Nvidia encoder volta. The above specifications represent this gpu as incorporated into nvidia s reference graphics card design. Check with manufacturer for exact specs note. The volta encoder was a marginal step up from pascal and the turing encoder was a step up from volta. Scarpazza high performance computing r d team citadel 131 s.

The tu106 and tu116 sku variants on the other hand use the more recent turing encoder. 4 tu117 gpus have volta encoder tu106 tu116 gpus have turing encoder. It s a physical section of our gpus that is dedicated to encoding only. This means that your gpu can operate normally regardless of whether you use this region to stream or record.

To learn more about gpu accelerated video encode decode see nvidia s video codec sdk. Check with manufacturer for exact model. Nvidia volta gpu architecture via microbenchmarking technical report first edition april 18th 2018 zhe jia marco maggioni benjamin staiger daniele p. Nvenc is nvidia s encoder.

5 varies by model. Amd s encoder is behind nvidia and intel on both quality and latency. Turing s graphics architecture meets volta s video encoder. This rapid architectural and technological progression coupled with a reluctance by manufacturers to disclose low level details makes it difficult for even the most proficient gpu software designers to remain up to date with the technological advances at a microarchitectural level.

To address this dearth of public microarchitectural level. This helps if you re encoding 4k content especially when streaming and need to encode 4k content in real time. Hardware accelerated video encoding and decoding. For reasons unknown to us nvidia s latest geforce gtx 1650 full review here entry level gaming graphics card is packing the old volta nvenc nvidia encoder instead of the latest turing nvenc.

As it turns out tu117 has incorporated an older version of nvidia s nvenc video encoder block than the other turing cards. Every year novel nvidia gpu designs are introduced. All nvidia volta gpus include one or more hardware units for video encoding and decoding nvenc nvdec. Other encoders such as x264 use your cpu to encode which takes resources away from other programs such as your game.

The encoding performance on volta gpus scales up with the performance numbers on pascal gpus in proportion to the highest video clocks as reported by nvidia smi.
