Looks like AMD is now approximately par with Intel and Nvidia on the hardware encoders for most stream-quality real-time video encoding.

      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 🫣.

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

            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.

              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
