: Using the "High Quality" or "Max Quality" presets in modern NVENC chips provides video quality comparable to high-intensity CPU encoding without the performance cost.
: Latest NVIDIA drivers support up to eight concurrent hardware encodes on GeForce GPUs, allowing you to host multiple guests or record while streaming. Hardware and Software Compatibility - Parsec support parsec-nvenc
: On RTX 2060 Super cards and later, the NVENC encoder is completely separate from CUDA cores, meaning streaming has zero impact on your actual in-game FPS. : Using the "High Quality" or "Max Quality"
: Parsec utilizes NVENC for high-fidelity streaming. Host machines with at least a Pascal-generation NVIDIA GPU (GTX 10-series) can support 4:4:4 chroma subsampling via H.265 (HEVC), which keeps text and colors crisp instead of blurry. : Parsec utilizes NVENC for high-fidelity streaming
: NVENC is up to 2.59 times faster than competing solutions like AMD VCE, with median latencies around 5.8 milliseconds compared to 15 milliseconds or more on other hardware.
