NVENC is just a hardware encoder block that has been on NV chips for a while, with incremental performance and codec support improvements on each new hardware platform. NVENC is very fast but the ...

Solutions to all the OBS Studio NVENC errors have been covered in this guide. One needs to understand the reason before applying any solution.

Higher bit-rates, resolutions and AV1 encoding are coming for RTX 40-series GPU owners, while streamers on older cards still get some tasty new hardware encoding features.

Announced this year at CES, Nvidia and OBS have teamed up to create a Geforce-Optimized version of OBS with an RTX Encoder that will allow professional-quality broadcasting from a single-PC setup.

Thanks to updates to OBS and NVENC, gamers can get the same quality from a single RTX-enabled PC as pro streamers get from 2-PC configurations.

Encoder You should consider your hardware while making your encoder selection. If your graphics processing unit (GPU) is manufactured by NVIDIA, then NVENC should be your encoder of choice. Choose the ...

The NVENC-patch for OBS (open broadcaster software) operates NVENC at a bitrate well below its sweet-spot (3500Kb/sec for 1080p30?), so in that app, NVENC output is predictably bad.

FFmpeg 6.0 enables AV1 encoding using hardware encoders such as QSV and NVENC, and includes improvements such as faster operation due to more efficient thread processing.
