Dorky question for streaming dorks: Should I use Nvidia's NVENC encoder or x264 while streaming w/OBS Studio? CPU = i7 9700k, GPU = RTX Super 2080.
it depends a lot on the bitrate! if you're streaming above ~6000 kbps, i'd say use NVENC; it looks really good when you get to numbers that high

hmmm i'm streaming right AT 6000 kbps. But general consensus seems to be NVENC? I guess i can experiment w/both! and thx. :)

the 'NVENC vs x264' comparison images in this article (all taken at 6000kbps!) really helped me wrap my head around the pros and cons:https://venturebeat.com/2018/10/15/nvenc-vs-x264-does-cpu-or-rtx-gpu-encoding-work-best-for-twitch/ …
