Controller Master


Popular video streaming software suite OBS Studio, in its latest version 28.1 release, adds hardware-accelerated AV1 encoding support for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40-series “Ada” GPUs. This takes advantage of the updated NVENC hardware media encoders “Ada” comes with, which has fixed-function hardware to encode AV1 video, a royalty-free format that offers comparable quality and bitrates to HEVC. There are a handful limitations, besides the fact that this only works with the RTX 40-series. To begin with, only the NV12 (OBS default) and P010 color formats are supported. The “rescale” feature in advanced output modes, isn’t supported for now. Grab OBS Studio from the link below.
