Nvidia Encoding Chart
Vp9 or other video codecs are not supported.
Nvidia encoding chart. Trusted by millions of creative and technical professionals to accelerate their workflows only quadro has the most advanced ecosystem of hardware software and tools to transform the disruptive challenges of today into the. How to use nvenc gpu encoding. From stunning industrial design to advanced special effects to complex scientific visualization nvidia quadro is the world s preeminent visual computing platform. It supports nvenc h 264 1262 fps but only nvdec h 264 658 fps this would mean 658 fps 1080p is the maximum throughput with a single pass encoding profile not the full 1262 fps.
Setting up hardware for encoding. Alternatively gpu encoding e g. Taking into account that you need to decode the same fps as you encode let s look at the gtx 1070. It s a physical section of our gpus that is dedicated to encoding only.
Other encoders such as x264 use your cpu to encode which takes resources away from other programs such as your game. The nvmedia video encode sample application nvmvid enc demonstrates using the nvmedia video encode api to encode h 264 h 265 bitstreams using the nvidia encoder nvenc hardware engine. The nvidia encoder interface exposes four different tuning info enums high quality low latency ultra low latency and lossless to cater to different video encoding use cases. X264 will utilize a lot of your cpu resulting in lower fps.
Nvidia claims that turing can achieve similar quality with 25 lower bitrates compared to pascal. Encoding performance encoding can be taxing on your system. Real time encoding of h 264 up to 4k 8 bit and h 265 up to 8k 10 bit are similar to pascal. Passmark software has delved into the thousands of benchmark results that performancetest users have posted to its web site and produced four charts to help compare the relative performance of different video cards less frequently known as graphics accelerator cards or display adapters from major manufacturers such as ati nvidia intel and others.
First make sure you have the latest version of handbrake installed as of 6 26 2020 that is version 1 3 3. On the encoding side there are no major changes. Nvidia nvenc utilizes a dedicated encoder in the gpu allowing you to play and stream without compromising game performance. This means that your gpu can operate normally regardless of whether you use this region to stream or record.
Also to use nvenc encoding you ll need the nvidia graphics driver 418 81 or later and an nvidia geforce gtx 1050 series gpu or better per handbrake s documentation.
