![]() ![]() I dont know much about the practical day to day setup and running of QS - plan to use Staxrip. Given this is my first try of QS i want to be at the latest level i can be at. I choose the i7-7700HQ as its 4C/8T at 2.8GHz - respectable. I7 quicksync manual#Re the dust - again this Dell i referenced is easy to strip down - i downloaded the service manual to check that aspect out. The Dell i referenced has some pretty hardcore cooling on board (twin fans and big heat spreaders) so i am hoping that will take care of that aspect. How would you setup a laptop as an encoding rig ? Generally i have concerns related to thermal design for notebook - they may have insufficient heat dissipation especially for long high load situations (as common for video encoding) - notebook may be wise choice for flexibility but for serious long/constant work/load i would go for stationary solution (easier to maintain especially in longer time frame - even dust removal is more difficult in such case - assume that after 1 - 1.5 year notebook need to be fully dismantled for cleaning).Īgree on thermals and why i looked at gaming laptops. How would you setup a laptop as an encoding rig ? I7 quicksync software#Software X264/QS HD630/ Pascal NVENC encodes with enough firepower onboard for possibilities. I think that pretty much covers all bases for now. The 32GB RAM allows for 24GB RAM drive for writing files to (8GB RAM for OS) before writing out to external drive (saves wear and tear on ANY other type of drive from the constant writing from encoding), the SSD is for fast booting and snappy response and the 1TB spinner allows bulk space to move BD's into as a staging area and to read the files off and into RAM. This gives all possibilites - software encode with the 4C/8T 2.8GHz CPU - QS HD 630 from Kaby Lake Generation, and NVENC from Pascal Generation Nvida GPU. ![]() I have decided to go with the latest DGaming Laptop (7567) - KabyLake i7 - 7700HQ 4C/8T 2.8GHz/3.8GHz, with 32GB Ram and 1050Ti GPU, 1TB spinner and 1TB SSD. you're better off buying the cheapest Pascal based Nvidia card you can find and calling it a you say more stable then QS - in what context?Īlso, are referring to latest QS or earlier QS versions? Think of it this way, based on your tests a cpu needs to be nearly 4.7 times faster than a 2500k in order to be able to encode x264+slow at the speed your cpu can encode VF, meaning that if nvenc/x264+vf can, with the addition of 20% more bit rate match x264+slow then there is no compelling reason to buy a faster cpu (not that you could find one that's nearly 5 times faster at a reasonable price). If the difference is less than 20% I would argue that you are much better off going with the hardware encoder under most circumstances. Having said that, I don't see the NVENC sample attached, could you post it so we can see it?Īs for x264+slow, fine it was better but ran at about 1/5 the encode speed as very fast (you don't mention how fact NVENC ran) but here's the reality check: how much better was x264+slow vs x264+4f? In other words, how much more bit rate do you need with very fast to match slow? NVIDIA has always said that they targeted x264+vf for their quality levels, so your observations are probably right in the mark. But later generations of QS deliver slightly better quality. The QS encoding was inferior to all of them. The x264 slow encoding was clearly better than both. I7 quicksync movie#(I have over 1200 movies to encode and would like to keep file sizes to around 2GB per movie for 9" screen use - so will be busy - seems to me HW encode is perfect for this use)Ĭode: LWLibavVideoSource("SVT_1080p50.mkv") In my estimation, the 1080 NVEnc encoding was a little better than the x264 veryfast encoding. But for now the HW encoded will suit my purpose just fine. Will probably wait for cannon lake for that one. I7 quicksync full#I will do a full desktop CPU right a bit later. So going to give HW encoding a shot because it makes sense to my situation. Trying to save lots of writes to the SSD that will hold the OS and programs.Īnother option would be to go for a different laptop and put in the mobile 1060 nvida card. Wondering if it makes sense to get 32GB Ram and copy files to be encoded to the 1TB spinner, then make a RAM drive from the 32GB of RAM and copy the files from the spinner to the RAM drive and then write the encoded files back to the spinner. The Acer can be configured with up to 32GB ram + M2 SSD +Sata HDD. Probably the i7 7500U with HD620 QS and 16 Gigs RAM. Dont know if its worth bothering with or not. I can get a mobile 1050 to go into a laptop. ![]() Trying to figure out if GPU encoding is worth while or not. ![]()
