    Video Encoding Tested: AMD GPUs Still Lag Behind Nvidia, Intel

    I don't have an Arc GPU, but I guess you wouldn't see much difference on Arc, because Arc has removed PAK encoding and only leavesVDEnc. As I said in my first post, only iGPUs before Arc and Meteor Lake (which use Arc GPU architecture) has PAK encoding feature. So yes, the difference is only...

    Video Encoding Tested: AMD GPUs Still Lag Behind Nvidia, Intel

    Yes, on my dell laptop with i5-1345u to do H2640->H265 transcode for 1080p video, using QSV HEVC veryslow preset with global_quality = 24 (~4M bit rate), I got about 50fps using Pak and 320fps using VDEnc. And you should see in Windows Task Manager that video decode unit is max out when using...

    Video Encoding Tested: AMD GPUs Still Lag Behind Nvidia, Intel

    Hi, I was doing some research about video encoding quality with HW acceleration and saw your article. Firstly, nice job. One thing interesting I found is that, before Arc and Meteor Lake, Intel implmented two kind of video hardware engine: 1. Es=Hardware Encode via (PAK) + Shader (media kernel...
