TIL
#AMD has
#GPU (s) that have no hardware encoding capabilities whatsoever, i.e. their
#RX6400. Yikes? Be careful when buying GPUs from AMD, I suppose.
It's one thing when people compare AMD GPUs with #NVIDIA's saying AMD's encoding prowess is inferior vs something like
#NVENC, but to literally be unable to hardware transcode H264, HEVC, etc. as a modern GPU is insanely hilarious seeing that it's something even ancient
GPUs and even iGPUs are capable of.
AMD CPUs? Solid, my last #Intel CPU was literally 7th gen - have gone through at least ~5 CPU upgrades since then. AMD GPUs? Stayed away from them and will continue to do so, even as a
#Linux user. NVIDIA GPUs have been perfectly fine for me on
#X11 before, and is perfectly usable (+ continually improving) on
#Wayland now - Intel Arc GPUs are also affordable and perfect for my
#homelab/servers.
