The 10600K gets a good review at Techpowerup. If you want to spend less, still take a good look at the 5600X, it's not that much more money. If you want to spend $350, get the 5600X. For a good reason, I would never consider buying one. The top models are being bitch at everywhere. Which this here RX 570 and the GTX 1060 next to it do not do. They're meant to offload low latency streaming, so all they have to do is beat x264 -fast. This is how it will be for years, as hardware encoders by their very nature have limited compute resources, limited buffering capability, and limited reference distance. Archival or storage encoding, however, it's all about x265 (or even x264 if you need H.264 for some reason). If you need hardware encoding right now, NVENC is where it's at. Intel did improve it for Skylake or Kaby Lake to do a better H.264 job (better than shit is still shit) and introduce a frankly embarrassing attempt at H.265. Needs more bits to do the same job, or does a much worse job in the same bits. QuickSync belongs down there with whatever shit AMD has in this RX 570. Gets you modern H.264 features and even does an okay job at H.265, but x265 is infinitely better. Older gen NVENC was dismal, but Turing (careful, some 16xxs don't have it) NVENC is actually pretty decent. I wonder if Intel Xe improved QuickSync like the 2000-series did for NVENC.Ĭlick to expand.Yep.

Out of the 3 hardware codecs, the QuickSync one is the easiest to get, good luck sniping a 3000 series card or the newest AMD for the ZFS box lol, so +1 advantage for the Xeon. QuickSync, well, it's okay, I would just double bitrate if using it for Plex, in house ethernet/wifi can take a 25 Mbps stream, no big deal. Okay, lets see if I can get Handbrake to talk to my 3070, NVENC is better than I expected, the older generation (900 series) needed lots of bits to perform well, does worse than x264-veryfast.

Not tested (yet): QuickSync Xe, NVENC Ampere, RDNA2 VCE. Or do we? įor the shooters video, at 6mbps: Turing NVENC h265 > Turing NVENC h264 > x264 slow, medium > QuickSync h265 > NVENC (old) h264 > x264 fast > Navi > x264 faster, veryfast > QuickSync h264 > All other AMD hw codecs.

It supports features like 2-pass encoding that just doesn't exist on hardware codecs.īut for single pass, okay, yes, you don't actually need it. For uploads and permanent archiving, I would just wait for the x264 or x265 codec to crunch through it. You put it to 50 Mbps and it outperforms other hardware codecs like the one in your phone and (video)camera.

Would these be better? There is a demo video from the vendor of the software which was made using a i7-4790K and shows it decoding 9 streams at 1920x1080 at apparently no problems.Click to expand.Quicksync / NVENC still doesn't support quite a few features.

I see that i5-6400 'only' has Intel HD Graphics HD530, while there are some broadwell i5 available with Iris Pro 6200. Does QuickSync (or better H.264 decoding) performance: I wonder if another CPU would give better results. I reduced them to 1920x1080 and now it's fluent at ~80% CPU load. At least even with QuickSync in use, CPU load is at 100% and the streams stutter. We currently have 5 video streams, H.264 main profile, each I bought a i5-6400 hoping that a newest generation CPU would deliver the best results, but maybe this isn't the case. However, perfomance until now is suboptimal and the vendor can not really help. I am currently setting up a surveillance system using Milestone XProtect as Software, which supports decoding video streams using Intel QuickSync. I am looking for information on Intel QuickSync technology for H.264 decoding.
