Software X264 Vs Hardware Nvenc. Hardware nvenc new. Its the same thing shadowplay uses.

And in the new RTX 20 and 30-series NVENC performs better than x264 Fast and on par with x264 Medium a preset that requires an expensive dual PC setup.

Nvidia NVENC short for Nvidia Encoder is a feature in Nvidia graphics cards that performs video encoding offloading this compute-intensive task from the CPU to a dedicated part of the GPUIt was introduced with the Kepler-based GeForce 600 series in March 2012. Pace intensive games suffer in encoding in x264. Picking the encoder that works best for you depends on a. X264 isnt horrendous yet at 6 Mbps NVENC has the points of interest that are progressively essential for a live stream.
