Hi folks,
I would like to build a streaming pc. It should be a streaming PC on which you stream 1080p content via twitch without a camera. Beside this it should record gameplay (1080p) and do video editing (1080p). I already have a PC for the games. The question is, can I realize my project with an AMD APU (AV1 hardware encoding)? Are there already AMD APUs that support AV1? If so, can you recommend one? I would like to do without a GPU, as the PC should be as small as possible for space reasons and I am thinking of a Mini-ITX build. I don’t want to run 4k content now or in the near future.
Thanks for your advice.
I’ve heard that the problem with hardware encoders is that they can’t be updated with software patches and therefore can’t improve. However it is possible that amd has improved their hardware since then which would improve quality/speed.
Hmm how well does a310 perform on Linux open source driver? Do you know something?
I run the arc a310 on my linux jellyfin server and it easily manages several 4k av1 streams without any issues so it should be able to handle your usecase with ease.
