Hey! Alright so might be a bit weird making a support thread about this, but I'm worried that I'm just tricking myself here.
I create and stream digital art that I make in Clip Studio (which utilizes pretty much only CPU for regular use) - Sometimes the load gets heavy and I wanna offload the CPU as much as possible so Clip is free to do it's thing during heavy lifting.
Enter my GPU, with a RX480 sitting idle I figure H264/AVC is the way to go, thinking this leaves my CPU with more free... hands. (I'm grabbing these numbers from Task Manager CPU perf numbers and AMD's Wattman load %)
Idle With two screens and all the programs opened, just not streaming:
GPU idle: 11%
CPU idle: 7%
CPU x264 (CBR 2500 bitrate, 24fps, HD) encoding the stream brings it to,
GPU streaming: 10% (Just fluctuating normally)
CPU streaming: 14% average
GPU H264/AVC (Quality Preset: "Quality", target bitrate 3500, 24fps, HD)
GPU streaming: 12%
CPU streaming: 9%

So my question is really, am I just fooling myself or is AVC likely just so much better for my use-case?
