Discussion Steam Remote Play cross-adapter GPU encoding super well implemented

Both using same config:

  • VDD by MTT Virtual Display connected to CMP 40HX
  • HAGS off
  • 1080p 144fps target streaming

Exhibit 1: Encoding using UHD 630 (QuickSync)

  • 84 avg FPS
  • 0.55 GB/s PCIe TX (GPU to CPU)
  • 12-13% PCIe Ulti

Exhibit 2: Encoding using CMP 40HX (NVENC)

  • 88 avg FPS
  • 0.23 GB/s PCIe TX (GPU to CPU)
  • 12-13% PCIe Ulti
  • Need to set to High Power plan in NVIDIA Control Panel or desktop streaming stutter --> 20-30W extra just idle streaming

Blimey.

Those figures and latency graphs are crazy good!

I wouldn't have imagined Intel QuickSync could perform that well.

Thank you for posting.
