    AMD GPU's have pretty notoriously bad encoders/decoders, so I'd recommend sticking with Nvidia or Intel GPU's.

    Where do people get this idea??

    Here is 1440p 60fps from my 6700 XT

    Ive been using emby for a few years and firefox doesn't support HVEC where all my content is HVEC and have had 0 issues with my gpu re-encoding the video

    Its just nvidia fanboy bs

      AMD used to be the shit on Linux a decade ago, much better support than Nvidia. It looks like something changed, but I only use discrete intel GPUs so I’m way out of the loop.

        It's not fanboy BS though, AMD encoders used to be pretty rough compared to Nvidia's, specially at lower bitrates.

        They've improved a lot as the generations went on however, to the point I believe that advice no longer applies.

          Well I'll be damned! AMD does seem to have up their encoder game with the Navi series onward.

          They were rightfully called out as having pretty bad encoders before that though, which I personally experienced on an RX 480 I used to have in my system. It made parsec a bit blurry and added quite a bit of latency.

          Also, I would stand by the recommendation to avoid older office PC's with AMD graphics, since none of them are going to have Navi graphics.

            avoid older office PC’s with AMD graphics though, since none of them are going to have Navi graphics.

            The key word here being older. These days, AMD CPUs have a couple of Navi graphics cores built in, and they're good for both office tasks and video encoding.

              True, for anyone who has a more modern AMD laptop, it would fare well with Parsec.

                It want that long ago. Just read any OBS posts. Honestly I haven't kept up with it for a while. A quick search shows discussions continue. Does appear most still think Nvidia has the best quality.
