Intel ARC A380 config in OBS?

[Havok]

Hello there,
i build an StreamPC only for streaming to Twitch.

Ryzen 5700G
16GB DDR4 3600Mhz
Asrock A520M Phantom Gaming 4
Sparkle Intel ARC A380 ELF OC 6GB

I actually wanted to get an Nvidia graphics card for nvenc. The Intel cards somehow passed me by. After a few videos and tests, I have now bought an Intel ARC A380 and find the stream quality to be very good and the card supports AV1. Now I wanted to ask if the settings are ok. I stream on Twitch and of course use x264.

Language is in German, but I think you can still read the settings. What is important is whether the quality regulation method CBR is ok. Some videos say something about LA_CBR but I think the settings are outdated, right?


Thanks
Havok

There is no community experience with the Intel Arc cards. Market share is tiny (1-2%, as far as I read recent reports). If you ask me, I would not recommend these cards but choose some Nvidia card, if you intend to stream. Nvenc is simply by far the best hardware encoder. Not only with quality, also with general system behavior. Since you are German, I would say buying a Arc card was a Schnapsidee.
