Quick Question

[Randy B]

I’m looking to get a Gigabyte 1660 Super for my game/streaming build but people said I shouldn’t because “it doesn’t have NVENC” and I though it did , can someone clear this up for me t h a n k s

every GT or GTX card 6th gen and on has nvenc, as well as most quadros.

 

the outlier of the 16 series is the GTX 1650, it lacks the Turing encoder and has the old Pascal encoder instead. Still has nvenc tho.

The 1660 Super has Turing NVENC, which is probably what they're talking about. It's only the 1650 that doesn't have it.

The 1660 Super has NVENC, based on Turing. So it's pretty good at NVENC even (as opposed to the older Volta on the 1650 for example).

You could of course go for a 2060 Super or better, but not for NVENC reasons, just for a stronger GPU reasons.
