In this post i highlight the rtxdi capabilities ahead of the initial public release planned for spring 2021. At gtc fall 2020 nvidia announced an upcoming developer sdk rtx direct illumination rtxdi which enables and accelerates the rendering of dynamic direct lighting and shadows from many light sources. Nvenc hardware s encoding capabilities are accessed using the nvenc api.
And in the new rtx 20 series nvenc performs better than x264 fast and on par with x264 medium a preset that requires an expensive dual pc setup. Update your graphics card drivers today. Nvidia gpus beginning with the kepler generation contain a hardware based encoder referred to as nvenc which provides fully accelerated hardware based video encoding and is independent of graphics performance. Nvenc software is meant to investigate performance and image quality of hw encoder nvenc of nvidia.
Nvidia nvenc is a feature in nvidia graphics cards that performs video encoding offloading this compute intensive task from the cpu to the gpu it was introduced with the kepler based geforce 600 series in march 2012. I am considering to use ffmpeg for a project of mine and i. Nvenc in the gtx 10 series gpus provides superior quality than x264 very fast the most commonly used x264 preset.
