NVENC is the name of Nvidias' hardware encoder ASIC, (NVDEC being the decode.
AMDs' equiv hardware encoder/decoder ASICs (were) named VCE (Video Codec Engine) and UVD (Unified Video Decoder. They had been around just as long, and is what ReLive used. But struggled to get adopted into other tools, OBS has had it for a decent while, but it took longer than it should have.
But I believe since Navi, AMD now has a unified encode/decode/live-transcoder ASIC called VCN (Video Core Next. Which has amazing HEVC performance as highlighted by Brad.
Just as Quick Sync is Intels' encode/decode/live-transcode ASIC.
What I want to emphasize, which was befuddled in the discussion is THEY ALL work with h264/h265 -- AVC/HEVC formats.
QuickSync was the first hybrid encode/decode/transcode ASIC _I believe_, and I'd imagine the live-transcode feature is what Adam is so immensely fond of. (Navi has that functionality, If and when it gets implemented in his production tools, it'd be very much worth him investigating, esp if he does or transitions to working in HEVC)

The 48- 4k120Hz OLED has Gsync Compatible and Freesync as well as HDMI 2. 1-VRR at less money than the Blooming FALD Gsync Ultimate monitors, making it extremely versatile for both PC and consoles. Thats what makes the monitor market look bad. In Australia you can buy a 55- 4k120Hz Gsync Compatible LG B9 OLED for half of what the 34- power hungry 384 Zone FALD backlight Ultrawides cost, you're not locked into Nvidia only, and get better IQ without the blooming and all the huge contrast/colour benefits of self-emissive tech, where every individual pixel can be turned off/dimmed. This is why the high end monitors look really bad right now. You're not just paying a huge premium, you're sacrificing both features and IQ for a smaller size, when imo at these insane prices they should at the very least have HDMI 2. 1-VRR support and Freesync compatibility. When you're talking almost $4k AUD on a monitor, it better at least be versatile.

TO test the driver situation for the AMD gpus. couldnt you guys have a dude running a 5700 or 5700XT for 24/7 use gaming and multimedia rig. The reason we only spot this on forums is cos NO of the Reviewer sites runs their main builds with AMD cards, or never have the time to use the diff cards. This is why i hate early reviews, cos they wont spot issues on the cards nor will they spot driver problems along the lifetime of the cards. I have had AMD gpus before, with to manny driver issues compared to my Nvidia cards, this alone is the reason i wont go AMD on Gpus, if that got permanently fixed, i would buy their gpus again.

Buying the cheapest monitor you can get for your gaming computer makes absolutely no sense to me. It is the way you perceive the game you are trying to enjoy.
For everyone's favorite car analogy. It would be like buying the cheapest all season tires you can find to put on your tricked out sports car.
P. S. coil whine can be alleviated or eliminated by improving your power delivery. Many wall sockets deliver junk power, a good UPS and PS can help immensely here.

Yeah right, amd's going to launch cards at only 75% clock speed. GTFO-
Anyone that thought the cards would seriously launch at only 1500mhz is a brain donor.
5700's are like 1800mhz stock and overclocked Navi can do 2Ghz. Guess what these will do with modded power play tables?
Those considering a gtx2060 with only 75% of the rop back end are burning money and should just buy a 2060super or go down to a 1660super.

If the performance isn-t coming out of the box people should stop complaining and start making videos of how to update the vbios. People should be learning something anyways. If you aren-t smart enough to do something simple as update vbios you should be playing on console anyways. IMHO

I honestly wouldn't even consider Ray Tracing on an RTX 2060. Just look at Metro or Control, they make an RTX 2080 Ti suffer even at 1080p, that RTX 2060 would take a massive performance hit. If you are interested in Ray Tracing, I wouldn't go below an RTX 2070 Super.

AMD need to just calm down stop making copy cards from last year.
Correct or replace there software section and just concentrate on 4K also 8K cards.
Also make the graphics cards the same performance as there CPU s that would be a great change.

AMD should have seen a FIFTY DOLLAR PRICE CUT!
Why didn't you warn them - if it's really so obvious? Ridiculous. Nvidia doesn't exactly have a track record of cutting prices.

reply

I would say AMD should price 5600 to 200$ and 5700 to 300$ and XT versions +50$. This would sweep Nvidia of the table by pricing and also make things much more simple. and cheap
