Hi,

Just wondering about Nvidia NVENC and its build in chip for encoding, i see most cards from GTX1050 and above come with NVENC encoding chip, some cards seems to have 2, but still unsure how it works, things that i would like to know if anyone care to share would be,

1) Are all NVENC on the GTX10XX the same? i mean is a GTX1050 as capable as GTX1080Ti when it comes to encoding? or the encoding chips are different (faster or more capable)?

2) I see some cards with 2 NVENC chips, does the chips work together? or its just it can handle two streams encoding at the same time?

3) Are any other resources used by the GPU aside from the NVENC chip? like memory or core clocks?

Thanks for any info,
