Nvidia's or Intel Arc's AV1?

[Flux Azreal]

In terms of quality, does Nvidia's Nvenc or Intel Arc's Encoder produce better quality using the AV1 codec? Nvidia states theirs is the best, is it true?

Or is there some benchmark online?

Back in March this was tested and frankly, the results are near as makes no difference for normal people. Extensive testing and benchmarking with VMAF.

Benchmarks aside, its hard to beat $140 compared to $400 minimum.

I picked up one of these and its surprisingly capable, even at gaming. Was able to do HoTS (high preset) and Diablo 3 (mix of high/med) at 4K 60-100 fps... Its in the PC that runs my TV currently. I've been itching to throw it in my main rig just to test it out in Diablo 4.

You're right, I'm so happy intel joined the gpu market they're made something amazing, and I hope they continue evolving and making more stuff, I really want them to succeed!

I've almost bought this card several times.

I think it would be interesting to try it out, especially since at that price point, 16GB of VRAM isn't available from anyone else. Intel Arc's drivers have been getting refined more and more over time.
