#rx6400 — Public Fediverse posts on home.social

TIL #AMD has #GPU (s) that have no hardware encoding capabilities whatsoever, i.e. their #RX6400. Yikes? Be careful when buying GPUs from AMD, I suppose.

It's one thing when people compare AMD GPUs with #NVIDIA's saying AMD's encoding prowess is inferior vs something like #NVENC, but to literally be unable to hardware transcode H264, HEVC, etc. as a modern GPU is insanely hilarious seeing that it's something even ancient GPUs and even iGPUs are capable of.

AMD CPUs? Solid, my last #Intel CPU was literally 7th gen - have gone through at least ~5 CPU upgrades since then. AMD GPUs? Stayed away from them and will continue to do so, even as a #Linux user. NVIDIA GPUs have been perfectly fine for me on #X11 before, and is perfectly usable (+ continually improving) on #Wayland now - Intel Arc GPUs are also affordable and perfect for my #homelab/servers.
