Fedora 38, Intel GPU with QuickSync - how to enable?

[leod]

Hi,

I'm using Linux Fedora 38 with Gnome 44.2 Wayland.

I have an Intel 13900K CPU with integrated UHD 770 GPU. I also have an AMD Radeon RX6600 dedicated GPU. My 2 monitors are connected to the output of AMD Radeon GPU.

My expectation was to be able to use Intel QuickSync (from Intel UHD 770 GP) for encoding in OBS. However, it's not available.

I can't see that encoder there:

The OBS logs are attached here.

Does anyone know what I should do, to have Intel QuickSync available on my OBS?

Many thanks :-)

Did you go into BIOS & enable the iGPU?

 

[Tuna]

Quicksync is a marketing term. You want "FFMPEG VAAPI H.264". It is also not recommended to use the intel when you are running on the Radeon. Just use the Radeon.

 

[leod]

rockbottom - yes it's enabled.

Tuna - thanks for the feedback. I thought QuickSync (Intel) performed better than AMD Radeon, that's why I was trying. Thanks!

Strange, I use my UHD770 for all my outgoing streams while my RTX-3090 is encoding my recording. It just works like a charm, no issues to report here but I'm on Windows.

intel quicksync doesn't technically exist in linux. linux vaapi is terrible compared to intel quicksync. sure it works but your not getting the hardware acceleration that obs uses in windows. that being said you can run on your intel igpu using vaapi but you won't be getting the performance it ordinarly gets so if you were expecting it to compare to discrete graphics in linux when used for encoding that is not possible in linux.
