Can the Radeon 7 be used at present to encode H265 with GPU acceleration. While the 16GB vram is attrractive to me I need to encode h265 that the 1080ti do very quickly,
According to Rand Thompson (a Davinci Resolve nerd) this is one of the new feature in DR16 for the codecs and delivery section:
AMD hardware accelerated decoding of H.264 and H.265 on Windows in DaVinci Resolve Studio
AMD hardware accelerated encoding of H.264 and H.265 on Windows in DaVinci Resolve Studio
But why would you use a crap quality GPU accelerated H265 codec when you have a cpu like your 7960x running at 4.3 GHz all-core? you can probably hit realtime 4k 25 fps with it.
GPU accelerated H265 is not better than CPU encoded H264 at the same size.
Those 16 GB are nice, even nicer is the speed of it (1024 GByte/s).
Our VEGA FE's also have 16 GB but are limited by it's memory speed (~560 GByte/s overclocked to 1100 MHz).
