NVEnc 8.04

NVENC is NVIDIA’s encoder. It’s a physical section of our GPUs that is dedicated to encoding only.

This means that your GPU can operate normally regardless of whether you use this region to stream or record.

Other encoders, such as x264 codec, use your CPU to encode, which takes resources away from other programs such as your game.

That’s why using NVENC allows you to play games at a higher framerate and avoid stuttering, giving you and your viewers a better experience.

Changes to NVEnc 8.02:

- Fix vpp-resize ngx-vsr, libplaceo* not working in 8.01.
- Fix insufficient frame buffer causing error termination when using readers other than avhw (issue since 8.00beta1).
- Fix crash on process termination in Linux environment (issue since 8.00beta1).
- Fix hw decode not working in Linux environment (issue since 8.00beta1).
- Improve stability of Vulkan initialization in Linux environment.
- Avoid unnecessary Dolby Vision RPU conversion.
- Add detailed logging for errors during Dolby Vision RPU conversion.
- Improve auto GPU select of --device auto (=default), to select unused device more accurately in multi GPU environment.
- Update documentation.
