I'm unfamiliar with NVIDIA cards and the processing capabilities as I was out of the game for about 20 years (since high school) and have just recently returned as a self-hosting/homelabs nerd. That might be a bit wasteful, but if it's just drawing power at the moment, it's either that or pull it from the rig entirely...
Oh boy...answered my own question with the NVIDIA MATRIX OF DOOM: https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encod...matrix-new
The card isn't even listed. So probably not.
Searching with "Bard" I found this...
Quote:Yes, the ASUS GTX 560 DirectCU II OC supports hardware encoding. It has a dedicated encoder chip that can encode video at a much faster rate than the CPU. This can be useful for streaming or recording gameplay.
Here are the specifications of the ASUS GTX 560 DirectCU II OC:The NVIDIA NVENC encoder is a hardware encoder that is built into the GTX 560 DirectCU II OC. It can encode video at a much faster rate than the CPU. This can be useful for streaming or recording gameplay.
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560
- Core clock: 822 MHz
- Memory clock: 1202 MHz
- Memory: 1.2 GB GDDR5
- CUDA cores: 336
- Memory bandwidth: 192 GB/s
- Video encoder: NVIDIA NVENC
To use the NVIDIA NVENC encoder, you will need to install the NVIDIA GeForce Experience software. Once the software is installed, you can open it and click on the "Broadcast" tab. In the "Encoder" drop-down menu, select "NVIDIA NVENC". You can then configure the encoder settings as needed.
I hope this helps!
