    Yeah I think up until this year NVidia consumer cards only allowed 3 streams for hardware encoding no matter how many cards you had. It sounds like they’ve changed it to 5 in March this year, there is a way to supposedly unlock it though https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_NVENC

    What I like about about Intel cards are they’ve always just worked for me out of the box, sometimes with NVidia I’ve had to do some tweaking or had issues with drivers but not as much within the lastbfew years.

      Yeah it’s an artificial limit. Pretty sure you can remove it, saw something about it on github.

      And yeah, on linux at least since kernel 6.1 intel arc is really plug and play.
