Hi, I'm using a server for encoding, would buy a cheap card to help CPU on its load, I've no special needs.. only to encode 1080p 30fps and send to Youtube. From the Nvidia site I've read GT-710 supports nvenc for h264 and 2 streams, seems the perfect choice for me but I've some questions to who has some experience with this card:
1) Can I use/is it compatible with this card the AVC "H.264/Nvidia NVENC" (I see in live stream config) output option? (I don't know if it is a common option of OBS or because I've installed StreamFX)
2) Can I use the second stream of this card to produce simultaniusly the second scaled (to 720p) stream by ffmpeg in the record output?
3) Howis the result with this card and it's recomended to cool it down adding a fan near it for long encode sessions?
4) Just for encode purpose and desktop use, does it make sense to buy 2GB version? And from DDR3 to DDR5 does it has any impact on the encoding result?
5) Eventually which brand you suggest (reliable on time, considering temperatures)
6) on ffmpeg custom codec list I have some results, which one you recoomend? h264_nvenc (libx264), nvenc (libx264) or nvenc_h264 (libx264)?
Thank you a lot, hope thsi post may help someone else too
