Will changing GeForce NVENC concurrent sessions from 2 to 3 mean 3 simultaneous transcodes now?

Apparently there was a silent update. I’m currently upgrading my drivers from the studio ones to game ready to get the ability to encode up to 3 streams, which I assume is what this means.

Just looking for confirmation that my assumption is correct.

For reference → I’m running W10 Pro + 24gb RAM (overkill) + PLEX server 4.30.2 with an nVidia 1060 6gb

I believe it’s only up to your gpu firmware. I used instructions off of reddit to adjust mine so that my 1660ti can do up to 12 (or 16? - way more than I need) at a time. Plex doesn’t restrict it. So if your updated firmware allows 3 simultaneous transcodes, you should be able to do that.

GitHub - keylase/nvidia-patch: This patch removes restriction on maximum number of simultaneous NVENC video encoding sessions imposed by Nvidia to consumer-grade GPUs.
