The developer of CapFrameX, a well-known seize, and evaluation instrument, has revealed a efficiency comparability (opens in new tab) of AMD’s Radeon RX 6800 XT (RDNA 2), Intel’s Arc A770 (Alchemist), and Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 3090 (Ampere) and GeForce RTX 4090 (Ada Lovelace) in AV1 video encoding in at 8K decision. The outcomes he obtained are fairly shocking.
The greatest graphics playing cards, like Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 3090 or RTX 4090, supply formidable efficiency in demanding video games in excessive resolutions, not like Intel’s Arc A770, which targets mainstream players. However on the subject of high-resolution video playback, every part comes all the way down to video decoding {hardware} carried out by a special-purpose {hardware} unit whose efficiency doesn’t rely on the general capabilities of the GPU.
