Although the wiki only mentioned Intel Quick Sync is supported for 4K hardware transcoding, it seems to me that there’s actually wide variety of devices out there can still support?
I have a MicroServer Gen10 which is using AMD Opteron x3421 cpu w/ WX2100 , obviously it cannot handle 4K 10bit up to 60Mbps => 1080p streaming, but would a GTX 1060 work beautifully? I had a bunch of issues with my Intel latest gen i7 NUC with HD 620, especially when there’s subtitle.
How well is hardware transcoding supported for NVENC + NVDEC on windows , such as different codecs, srt / PGS subtitles …
Tested GTX 1060 today on my i5 4690K, worked beautifully hardware transcoding 4K. I’m confident it can handle two streams. Now I want to see if I can make RX 550 work on my MicroServer Gen8, the WX2100 can encode but not able to decode so still tons of load on CPU.
Just managed to make GTX 1050 do hardware transcoding on my MicroServer Gen10, a windows “NAS” and my media server. It turns out I have to connect the server to a monitor to make the decoding part running on gpu, encoding is always on. But I can always have the monitor turned off, so that’s fine with me for now…
Hardware transcoding 4k is somewhat smooth, but it’s washed out due to tone mapping from HDR, so most likely it will still be used on 1080p…
