Seperate GPU for Encoding?

[WarlockSyno]

Could it be possible to offload the encoding part to a secondary GPU rather than the CPU? Since most recording software impacts the CPU pretty heavily this would be a great way to reduce file size while increasing quality. Not even sure if this is possible, but I don't see why not.

A small suggestion, an option for voice amplification and save as a separate file (mp3, ogg, etc.) would be nice.

GPU acceleration isn't very effective with x264. Intel Quick Sync is probably the most promising technology but the quality will never be as good as software encoding.

While encoding cannot be done on the GPU (because it requires relatively complex decisions based on the whole frame) what about motion prediction? Considering the frame is composed on the GPU there is no penalty of sending data back and forth. I'm sure this can be achieved with some sort of a pixel shader magic.

There already branch of x264 with OpenCL that let you offload stuff like rc-lookahead to the GPU, but it's marginally useful, at best.
