Question / Help Question: Quadro Cards and Old/New NVENC

[JBlake]

Hi all. Mostly all the posts I read about the “new” NVENC encoding capabilities released last year refers to GeForce, RTX, and Turing cards.

I know that the most recent NVIDIA Quadro cards (Pascal) have NVENC chips, but my question is: do they support the “new” NVENC encoding in OBS that users rave about?

And if the answer is yes, is the “new” NVENC encoding superior to “old” NVENC on a Quadro card with Pascal?

A big thank you to anyone who takes time out of their day to help me with an answer!

nvenc new vs old works as far back as the 7-series GTX cards and their quadro counterparts.
