Question / Help Ivy Bridge (3570k) Quick Sync - 1080p60 Possible?

[ZeroWalker]

As topic says.

Have looked around at settings, but in my tests no matter if i use Quality or Speed i can't get 60fps to work, it get's about 10% duplicates, so i can get about 50fps stable which makes me use 48fps (which is kinda bad as no monitor uses that or 96hz etc).

So for those that have more knowledge in Quick Sync what can be done?
Is it possible to overclock the Quick Sync encoder?

Thanks

I've not had any luck getting 1080p60 out of Quick Sync or NVENC. I just use x264 on the ultrafast or superfast preset for recording.

I see, well don't think x264 is possible on superfast for me and ultrafast looks like crap;P
But thanks, will have to make do with what i can get until next generation of hardware encoders.

Well no, that's not quite how it works. For local recording it's quite easy to configure the encoder so that it can use any bitrate it needs to achieve a quality target. The only downside to using less compression then becomes a larger output file, which can easily be re-encoded later by a program like Handbrake. Refer to
