Discord. Hardware acceleration for streaming. I don't see it being used.

By all indications, the CPU is used for encoding. This does not work at all as in the case of various browsers when watching video and OBS when recording and broadcasting - VID Usage in MSI Afterburner is always at zero. For example, when encoding in OBS using NVENC at 1080 60 FPS, load by ~ 25%, 4k - 50% load. Enabling various options in the discord does not change the situation at all. I have RTX 2080 and Win10 x64.

Also I don't understand why Discord cannot determine which encoder is being used during the broadcast (screenshot).

Doesn't seem to be encoding at the time this screenshot is taken, so makes sense there's no encoder being used.

Yes. Have you used this feature on Discord?

Encoding worked, I was watching my stream at that moment on another display. I have checked many times. Without starting the broadcast, this window with statistics cannot be displayed at all.

After several updates it now looks like this.

 

 

It's nice when people have a sense of humor.
