Both are equally bad. Intel QSV and AMD AMF are equivalent to setting x264 ultrafast with ~40% of the superfast options applied. If you want to go for lower CPU usage, but potentially higher CPU temps, which causes throttling, use Intel QSV. Otherwise use the encoder your GPU (AMD, Nvidia) has to offer.
Hello Everybody,
I'm glad to find a forum that discuss the AMF.
Actually I'm new to the "recording scene" and I have an issue where I could need some help from specialists :-)
I'm recording diffrent games without any trouble, but with the game PUBG my X264 settings seems not to be good enough and the videos get laggy. So I tried out the H265 HEVC encoder using my RX VEGA 64 GPU. The thing is, whichever settings I'm using, the videos are extremly laggy.
So, to compare the result, I tried out the AMD Relive software to make a capture and it worked fine, no lags at all.
At this point, I should tell you, that im trying to record videos in 3440x1440, with 60fps.
GPU: RX VEGA 64
CPU: Ryzen 7 1700
My question is, why is the recording working fine in Relive, but in OBS the resulsts are horrible? What am I doing wrong? Which setting should I use?
I hope anyone can help me out. If anything is not clear enough, just ask :-)
Greetings from PHB.

@Xaymar
Thank you for your quick respond. So I think its not possible to record such a hungry game in that resolution with 60 fps in OBS. I would never reach to have 20% left GPU resources for OBS.
Do you have any idea if they try to implement an on-GPU encoding option for AMD-GPUs? I mean, Nvidia is included, isn't it?

can someone help me? my A10-7700K used to GPU encode perfectly until it justed stopped. can someone help me? i've been looking for weeks!

The version 1.2.0 is not supported, it is merely there for users who are running cards that can't update to recent drivers that contain AMF.

Hello, I would like to ask if the following graphics card is supported: Radeon HD Graphics 1.65 GHz.
My friend is trying to get hardware encoding to work on his laptop (so it doesn't ramp up his CPU usage from software encoding as his CPU is kinda terrible). If it is supported, then we are actually at a loss as we cannot get the plugin to work for him at all, even after updating his drivers and installing all dependencies. I would greatly appreciate some help/advice on this matter.

The AMD E-450 integrated GPU is not supported. It does not have the VCE logic.

I assume this means there is no way to get OBS to allow hardware encoding with this GPU? (Apologies if I seem a tad dense, never worked with integrated graphics myself, by the time I became interested in PC hardware, my own PC had a Radeon HD 7850)
Version 2.3.1 amf included OBS 21.0.1?

Unfortunately not, it doesn't have the dedicated architecture needed to run the VCE functions that are called when using h264 encoding via AMD AMF/VCE.
@Araviel
The RX 580 8GB is fully supported and uses VCE3.4 architecture. To see potential capabilities for your card, see the link below:

Thank you very much for your help @seronx & @BornDownUnder
It's a tad disappointing, but there's nothing that can be done. Luckily, we have found a way to get recording to somewhat work without hardware encoding. Again, much thanks.

Im not too good with programs and files on computers but i'm still knowledgeable enough to follow instructions so can you please give me step by step instructions of what to do? I have an AMD Rx 480 and I believe that this program is to help me record? Like i said im not too good with files. My main issue i want to solve is that my graphics card becomes really slow when i record videos during game play on games such as PUBG.This plugin adds support for encoding using dedicated AMD Hardware to the Open Source streaming and recording software called ‘Open Broadcaster Software Studio’ by Jim and a “few” other people.
It offers a simplistic easy to use UI and that allows users to get started quickly with good quality hardware encoding without taking any of the control away from the user.
The plugin is based on AMDs new GPUOpen Advanced Media Framework SDK, uses many modern coding practices and implements any useable optimization strategy possible. Thanks to this it has performance comparable to Plays.TV/Raptr and Windows 10 Game DVR.
Requirements
- CPU: Dual Core 2.0 Ghz Minimum, Quad Core 3.3 Ghz Recommended
- GPU: First Generation VCE Minimum, Third Generation VCE Recommended
- RAM: 2 Gigabytes Minimum, 4 Gigabytes Recommended
- You must have the Visual Studio 2015 Redistributables installed.
- You must have the latest AMD Driver installed.
https://gist.github.com/8e7b4fd94f5cb5c715500956ab5b2451 my OBS won't start recording, it said "starting ouput failed, make sure your video driver up to date." My amd driver is adrenalin 18.2.1, obs version 21.0.1, and i'm using AMF 2.3.2. I'm using X550IU laptop with AMD APU FX9830p and RX 460 4Gb.
