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 ๐Ÿซ .

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 ๐Ÿซฃ.

[โ€“] Alphane_Moon 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What do you mean by pyramid scheme? I am curious.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

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.

[โ€“] Alphane_Moon 1 points 2 days ago

Ah I see. Streaming in general tends to have subpar quality.

Someday Qualcomm will stop being annoying and get AV1 decoders in all their chips and we can all move on from h.264
