Is the Nvidia P400 still a good encoder? - janos - 2024-11-28

Hi, the question is basically in the subject. I've been using a 1060 GTX in my server but now I need it in a gaming rig and I was wondering what would be a good video card specifically for encoding purposes. I happened upon some threads which recommended the P400 but they were 2 years old and I'm curious if it's still the case or not. Thanks.

P400 comes with 256 cuda cores and 2GB of VRAM. This makes it even inferior to some Intel iGPUs.

Compared to 1060, this is a downgrade. But if it's for personal use only, it should perform just fine. Otherwise it can easily run out of memory.
