@boilingsteam Currently using an Arc A750. Actually very satisfied with it for the price I paid($200).

Currently looking to upgrade but the GPU market is so awful that nothing really strikes me as worthwhile. The Arc B580 looks fine but it's also not that much of an upgrade over what I have already so it doesn't feel like it'd be worth it even at its current price($250).

@boilingsteam Almost entirely gaming and video acceleration for game recording.

@boilingsteam Yes, full AVC/HEVC/AV1 hardare endode and decode.

Which I think the newer B-series Battlemage cards lack at the moment because they use the newer and less mature Xe Intel driver. That information might be out of date though so don't quote me on that.

I found a surprisingly good article on the subject that I reference occasionally:

@dyrge oh thats a good resource, the link you provided. thanks.

For the AV1 hardware encode, it works for what resolution and framerates?

@boilingsteam You know, that's a good question. I haven't really looked into it.

All I can say with certainty is 2560x1440@60 as that's the highest I've attempted so far.
