    After decades of license strangleholds by the likes of MPEG LA and Microsoft, it’s refreshing to see open codecs adopted in mainstream hardware and APIs. Hooray for progress!

    This is great news. Being able to tap into hardware acceleration for AV1 will be crucial to it taking off. And all 3 of the major GPU vendors have support now.

      it’s a shame nvidia only supports encoding on 40 series cards - I wonder if it needs specialized hardware or if it’s an artificial limitation

        Damn that’s terrible, I was gonna borrow my mate’s card to do some encoding but now I guess that won’t work.

            I meant my friend has a 30 series card, I should’ve been more clear on that.
