// Software Production Line
I was under impression that AMD hardware allows just one video encoding session and prevents from having multiple side by side. This has been the consistent behavior I was seeing and I was always wondering why it had to be that tight. To my surprise, the actual limitation is higher and, in particular, is sixteen…
I might have mentioned that Intel Media SDK has a ridiculously eclectic design and is a software package for the brave. Something to stay well clear of for as long as you possibly can. To be on par on the customer support side Intel did something that caused blocking of Intel Developer Zone account. Over…
Just a small test here to feature use of multiple GPUs within single Media Foundation pipeline. The initial idea here is pretty simple: quite so many systems are equipped with multiple GPUs, some have “free” onboard Intel GPU idling in presence of regular video card. Some other systems have integrated “iGPU” and discrete “dGPU” seamlessly…
To complete the set of posts [1, 2, 3] on hardware video encoding at lowest latency settings, I am sharing the juiciest part and the application for NVIDIA NVENC. I did not have a 20 series card at hand to run the measurement for the numbers, and I hope the table below for GeForce GTX…
In continuation of previous AMD AMF encoder latency at faster settings posts, side by side comparison to NVIDIA encoders. The numbers are to show how different they are even though they are doing something similar. The NVIDIA cards are not high end: GTX 1650 is literally the cheapest stuff among Turing 16xx series, and GeForce…
A follow-up observation about encoders of Radeon RX Vega M GH Graphics of Hades Canyon NUC and the measurement app from the previous post: The side by side comparison with desktop RX 570 card shows a few interesting things: Radeon RX Vega M GH Graphics has the latest driver, but AMF runtime version is way…
Just a small tool here to try a few of a popular resolutions and measure video encoding latency. The encoder is running in configuration to address needs of real-time encoding with speed over quality setup. Note that the performance might be affected by side load, such as graphics application (I often use this application for…
