GPU recommendations for a newbie

[Gobar]

You only have to select NVENC from Dashboard > Playback > Transcoding and check the appropriate boxes for the GPUs capability.

Nvidia has this nice little matrix that breaks down what their GPUs can decode and encode

https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encod...matrix-new

The list of codecs at the top of the Transcoding page are the codecs that will be DEcoded by the GPU.  Boxes not checked in that list will be decoded on the CPU.

Thank you for your help!
