Anyone know if the Intel HW encoder or the Nvidia HW encoders support HEVC with Constant Quality for realtime encoding?

Encoding with Intel Media SDK 2018 R1, encoding with Intel Media SDK GPU Accelerated plugin i get 19 fps for 1080p vídeo and the quality are great

That is all they support, as CRF is not in their capabilities, AFAIK.

K, everyone. Slightly unrelated....but here nvidia stuff for reading.

I have been treating this thread as an all in one encoding hardware implementations thread anyway.

I read that PDF,a couple of things. It's nice that they still are expanding features, but most of it seems to be about cuda accellerated encoding in the later half. Wasn't opencl and cuda acceleration shown to be worse for quality? Also those YouTube pictures are funny is it trying to demonstrate blocking artifacts.

https://blog.parsecgaming.com/nvidia...s-713b9e1e048a

More evidence that vce is very far behind. On Reddit I try to help people with encoding settings on OBS and most people don't believe me that nvenc is decent and vce is not so good compared to say x264 very fast.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Core_Next

Has anyone seen this? Apparently it was put into the Raven Ridge APU.

So far, nvidia adaptive GOP, adaptive IPB frame placement, lookahead and AQ (spatial and temporal) which technically are based on CUDA seem to work well. It depends on the implementation I guess.

Intel also has some sort of adaptive GOP, lookahead and IPB placements.

The greatest feature added by Nvidia and Intel is "constant quality" rate control mode (vbr-quality = nvidia , ICQ = intel)

No idea what is AMD doing with its VCE.

The youtube example is funny indeed, but the second picture sets with a picture of a man = Elecard HEVCAnalyzer? Before it was discontinued and acquired by adobe? Hmm....

Looks like the trend of hardware accelerated encoding is not stopping. Adobe Premiere has added Quicksync encoding acceleration, not the asic chip, but using the IGPU for processing for speeding up encoding times, since it is otherwise completely unused on higher end rigs. If I still had a Intel system I would myself keep the IGPU enabled on Windows 10 since having 2 gpus enabled is no longer an issue, for more options.

This had fueled fanboy wars of course in the AMD vs Intel vs Nvidia world:

https://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/3...k-gpu-vs-ryzen

I was going to start commenting about it in the other forums, but I thought x264 and cpu encoding in general got rid of OpenCL and CUDA acceleration because it is only usable for lookahead and usually makes the quality worse anyway.

Both Intel and Nvidia just in the last few months have put forth these features again. Did they fix the downsides? Does Adobe just say "they wont notice the quality difference anyway"?

Id really like to know if this is the future again or a temporary fad. Or is it mainly for newer encoders like VP9?

Also AMD needs to catch up, this was literally the whole reason they came up with the HSA platform idea, so what are they doing?

EDIT: Id like to bring up these discussions on reddit and am hoping to learn a few things here first.

EDIT2: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2473774
Looks like it is for h264.

There's nothing intrinsically worse about CUDA and OpenCL encoding. The problem has been the latency between GPU and CPU got in the way of lots of fast-feedback loops, which are increasingly important as the number of tools a codec can use expands, so more things need to be tried quickly in parallel with most options quickly terminated. CABAC is historically hard to multithread (although HEVC WPP makes it much more feasible; one CABAC thread per 64 pixel vertical row), so peak single-thread performance was/is a key limiting factor (CABAC can take up a good fraction of encode and decoding total MIPS).

GPU gives great SIMD support with hundreds of parallel cores. But a modern Intel CPU has much better per-core SIMD performance with the AVX family, and are getting ever more cores per CPU, all tied together with fast caches in unified memory

CUDA and OpenCL work great for more waterfall-like processes, where the GPU doesn't need to constantly report back to the CPU and get modified instructions.

FPGA looks like it has some good potential in video encoding.

The only grail for CPU/GPU is to have a fast CPU AND a fast GPU on the same die, sharing the same shared memory and shared caches. Intel has fast CPUs but not powerful OpenCL integrated GPUs; just using AVX-2/512 is generally faster for the compute part (although using GPU for decode, preprocessing, and lookahead can help).

It seems like AMD could do something amazing here, although they do multiple dies in the same package; the Zen microarchitecture doesn't have shared memory, or even have the HBM from prior AMD processors. Not a big issue for gaming, but it is for encoding and some other kinds of GPU compute tasks.

It's kind of funny that the ideal video encoder would look something like the PS3's Cell; a beefy CPU, a bunch of lightweight SPEs directly connected for specialized workloads, and a GPU to farm out the most repetitive tasks to. Internally, a lot of CPUs do seem kind of like that these days, it's just not exposed to the programmer as explicitly and thus harder to take advantage of. The PS3 was just a little too ahead of its time.

Bitrate efficiency and quality has gone up! This is a big deal see page 29.

So the community edition now includes the advanced HEVC-Encoder, not only the QSVENC SDK which is available in handbrake and others?

Test new NVENC-HEVC encoder (+ B frames) RTX2070

x264, x265, nvenc, qsv

test 1 https://rigaya34589.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-1069.html
test 2 https://rigaya34589.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-1070.html

New HEVC encoder - very good for game streams (twitch etc.)
Of course, this will not replace x264 (medium+) on a second computer, but will improve the quality of broadcasts, especially for low bitrates.

p.s. I not the author of the test's

Nvidia codec SDK 9.0 has just been released, it has some nice improvements for their new turing architecture: https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-video-codec-sdk

Your link says "coming soon" and only 8.2 is linked. Did I miss something?

Next year could be interesting.

Other improvements include a new HEVC Quick Sync Video engine that provides up to a 30% bitrate reduction over Gen9 (at the same or better visual quality)

For the media block, Intel says that the Gen11 design includes a ground up HEVC encoder design, with high quality encode and decode support.

thank you for the interesting news
I assume this will require new hardware then? If Intel puts these engines in the lower end CPUs (Like G4560 Pentiums Kaby lake), building a cheap and fast encoding machine will be possible

Yes it requires a new hardware which includes the new encoder, this is a Gen11 presentation, means Icelake or Lakefield.

@CruNcher

Anyone else here with a Turing card ?

I used NVEncC v4.38 today just for a few H.265 encodings and I'm really impressed by the speed and quality.

Any particular settings for H.265 on Turing cards ?
