News OBS encoding enhancements come to Nvidia's Maxwell GPUs — GeForce GTX 900 series can now leverage the Twitch Enhanced Broadcasting feature

With OBS 30.2 RC1, Twitch streamers with older GeForce 900-series graphics cards and above can enable 'Enhanced Broadcasing' on Twitch. This takes advantage of sending multiple encodings to Twitch, which will send the best-suited stream quality to its viewers.

I would bet hard money that the number of Twitch streamers who are profitable enough to be allowed to use this feature, and are also using a Maxwell GPU, is exactly 0.

Is the Maxwell-uArch GM107-equipped GTX 750 Ti name excluded?
Do folks with Early-2014 GM107/GM108 cards have to VBIOS flash to a 900-series to be used?

By THG's title, I can only assume that 700-series and 800-seried Maxwell cards are blacklisted for some reason.

I find it really hard to believe that THG *forgets* that Maxwell hit the market with Q1 2014's GTX 750 (and OEM-only GTX 745 + GTX 800A series).
