Question / Help Nvidia GTX 1650 NVENC Quality Question

[Farmagud]

So I'm on the market for a new GPU to put in an OEM Dell PC, meaning I'm limited to cards under 75 watts.

The 1650 just released, and I was wondering if that card would see the same quality enhancements that the other Turing GPUs received from the new NVENC APIs and the OBS 23.0 update.

It's stated that the NVENC chip is based on Turing, but there's no support for HEVC B-Frame support. I'm not sure exactly what this means in regards to streaming quality.

Since there is no streaming service supporting hevc, I don't see an issue with the use of OBS with that GPU.

I would have a question. Is there a big difference between 1050 and 1650?

While the GPU is Turing based, according to the specs the NVENC chip is from Volta, so no different to the previous generation.

1650 has old NVENC version (is not Turing), 1660 has new NVENC.
