would an egpu like razer core x give me fast ffmpeg encodings?

Journeyman Geek

@barlop iirc .. it depends?

You're going to be restricted to X4 + you need a GPU acceleration build?

And if you don't mind slight quality loss , Intel quicksync is pretty fast/efficient

And doesn't need a egpu

barlop

do you think intel quicksync is similar speed?

Journeyman Geek

When I was messing with it it was rediculously fast

barlop

if i went the egpu route, then, re gpu acceleration build, do you mean i'd have to put in a graphics card that supports gpu acceleration? or is gpu acceleration something related to the cpu of the computer?

@barlop your build of ffmpeg needs to support it

@barlop Install Gentoo!

root ~ # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~amd64 emerge -pvt ffmpeg

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

@JourneymanGeek ^

Journeyman Geek

uhm

bwDraco

Just being silly here.

@barlop, @JourneymanGeek: Jokes aside, this requires both hardware and software. If you have an NVIDIA graphics card and FFmpeg is built to support NVENC, you can do GPU-accelerated encode.

The same is true for AMD Radeon graphics when built to support AMF.

ugh, I think my home IP has changed once again... that time of the year I guess :|

note to self: finally look into something like DynDNS

Journeyman Geek

@MiG running linux of windows ?

MiG

both

Journeyman Geek

github.com/ddclient/ddclient I use this to update my dns off my homebrew router

MiG

home server just responded again, and desktop still shows its session so I guess it wasn't a IP change or a power outage

Journeyman Geek

lol

that's half the fun with a home server

with various levels of Jank

MiG

13:11

it's pretty clean, I haven't installed much on it

...yet (TM)

Journeyman Geek

can be hardware jank

MiG

@JourneymanGeek linux client for a dynamic DNS provider of your choice?

Journeyman Geek

@MiG Well yes

MiG

that's a possibility, it's old

Journeyman Geek

I run it with cloudflare or namecheap, I forget which

MiG

13:12

although usually glitches that drop a service completely tend to be serious or fatal ones

@bwDraco It's funny how these systems need an entire Windows operating system just to display a PNG.

MiG

and in this case the device seems responsive, same for the desktop

Journeyman Geek

might be network jank

not on your side possibly

MiG

they were drawing fibre optics into the building, maybe someone knocked something over
