You don't need NVENC, the AMD and Intel versions are very good. If you care about maximum quality you would software encode for the best compression

Nvidia is using the "its fake news" strategy now? My how the mighty have fallen.
I've said it many times but publicly traded companies are destroying the world. The fact they have to increase revenue every single year is not sustainable and just leads to employees being underpaid, products that are built cheaper and invasive data collection to offset their previous poor decisions.
Those 4% can make an RTX 5070 Ti perform at the levels of an RTX 4070 Ti Super, completely eradicating the reason you’d get an RTX 5070 Ti in the first place.
You'd buy a 5070 Ti for a 4% increase in performance over the 4070 Ti Super you already had? Ok.
They probably mean the majority of people, not 4070 Ti owners. For them, buying that 4070 Ti would be a better choice already.
AMD & Intel ARC are king now. All that CUDA nonsense, is just price-hiking justification
"and the drivers, for which NVIDIA has always been praised, are currently falling apart"
what? they were shit since hl2
After being AMD for years recently went back to nvidia for one reason. nvenc works way better for encoding livestreams and videos than amd
Bought my first AMD card last year, never looked back
AMD’s Windows drivers are a little rough, but the open source drivers on Linux are spectacular.
My last nvidia card was gtx 980.I bought two of them. After i heard about 970 scandal. It didnt directly affect me but fuck nvidia for pulling that shit. Havent bought anything from them. Stopped playing games on pc afterwards, just occasionally on console and laptop igpu.
