I am trying to get to the bottom of whether OBS uses the video card for a better quality encoding result on Macs. This would be macs with dedicated video cards such as an Intel iMac or Macbook Pro? This is assuming you choose Apple Hardware or AMD or HEVC encoding.
Does the x264 choice use the dedicated or even integrated graphics for that matter? If so, does the dedicated graphics card help with x264?
How about M1 Macs. Do they offer the same, better or worse encoding quality / results as the 2020 Intel Macs with dedicated graphics?
What is the best encoding setting for M1 Macs?
I am trying to get to the bottom of this before purchasing an iMac Intel or M1 Mac mini or iMac.
Thanks!
