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 🫣.

            Not a scheme I suppose.

            But regardless of account age, the default streaming options are limited.

            Or rather your bitrate is hard capped + no “guaranteed” transcoding for mobile viewers etc. Only “sometimes”. Unless you are a partner.

            But have to be an affiliate first lol.
