AMD just upgraded your stream quality for FREE!

🎲 Take your TTRPG gaming to the next level with World Anvil
AMD released a new Adrenaline software update that unifies the RX 6000 and 7000 series cards and brings some upgrades to RX 6000's streaming quality - but it's not magic. There's not much to talk about. But I tested it, for you, per request.

I recently grabbed an Arc a770 and I've been really pleased with using AV1 to grab clips and do longer recordings but the stream itself is purely on CPU encoding for the time being. Hopefully twitch can get the ball rolling and release AV1 support.

I always love these deep dives on stuff like this. I still think current AMD cards are usable for streaming, especially on sites that allow for higher bitrates. I don't own an AMD card though, can only go off what I see in these tests

I have been doing tests with my RX 6650 XT and the latest AMD drivers, and compared to the previous year I have noticed some improvement in quality in terms of Streaming with the GPU, now it is less pixelated, I dare say that now it is the same (or a little higher) in quality than Nvidia's Pascal (GTX 1000), but still well below x264 (medium) CPU, rtx 4000, 3000 and 2000

all i know is ever since this update, after experimenting with different settings, i landed on something that is noticeably no different in quality while streaming gpu intensive games than my previous 3060 while using very little resources compared to cpu encoding (and i have a very g ood cpu). the random blur and pixelization on movement / motion is gone, everything is smooth most days.(6700xt 1080p60fps, twitch). and changing B-Frames to 2 made all the difference.

[MrSmitheroons]

Thank you for your patience in testing this, and even for dealing with folks' comments. And sorry for the time lost to do all this testing. You probably know this, but I'll say it: your resources for streaming are some of the best. Thank you!

[ansgar_wow]

should i go 3060ti or 6750xt for playing wow and battlefield on 1080p and some streaming on twitch ? i heard you can use amd hardware encoder in obs now but i cant find anything helpfull

[tundranocaps]

Just got the 6800 XT. Using a 3700X. Should I use software encoding over hardware encoding while streaming, with this setup? 6 MB upload.

[touhami_dz]

what about rx 5700, is there any updates in the last 4 years ?
and why is youtube 1080p60fps running avc on all my browsers ?

[phantomboy]

Sir can you please tell best setting for amd 6750xt only for recording not streaming please🥺

[SianaGearz]

I mean 1dB figure pretty much says it. It's basically imperceptible. 3dB would be quite visible. Not to say that all progress isn't appreciated. And then there's the question how good the metric is, VMAF performs pretty spectacularly with encoders existing up to that point to capture their differences but the last word in metrics hasn't been spoken in perpetuity, and every metric also leads to a degree of optimisation towards the metric which may diverge from what the real perceived quality is.

Congrats on the sponsorship!

Have anyone experience that weird glitch with H264 on 6000 series that it BADLY smears webcam footage? Recently tried encoder on 6800XT with a 2D game which should be easy to encode. Game footage was fine but webcam was of very bad quality. Does anyone know why does that happen?

I don't see any webcam footage in this video as well so I don't know if it's my issue specifically.

I’m confused on the target usage for Quicksync. Should I be using Quality, or Very Slow?

[spennytoo]

I'm sorry.... but I have a 7900xtx and I can't get my quality ANYWHERE near what you show at 0:42. HOW???

[TGBZA]

I got a RX6700XT last year and my streams looks like complete ass tbh. I can never find the right settings. I stream on Yt at 8000 bitrate and it looks blocky etc. Your vids look amazing compared to my stream I have tried your guides but nothing seems to help. Do you have any other tips ?

[Gashd]

Sitting here with my 580 in tears everyday

[TLoD_]

So should i buy a rx 6950 xt or 7800 xt if im making some YouTube videos and im planning on streaming on the future

[LMHop]

I am missing my AMD encoder in OBS. I have the newest OBS and newest drivers installed for my Ryzen 3 3200G. Do you have any idea why AMD hardware encoding isn't an option in OBS 29 for me?

[Juice-chan]

tiered with AMD. Like on my streams I just get periodic pixel fests to the point you have a hard time even making out what is going on the screen especially with heavy movement involved. I would love to upgrade to an RX6700XT but I might have to go with an RTX4060. And I know that one is trash. But I need to get off from my current card for streaming.

[CuervoVirtual]

hi Epos thanks for the video, do you think the h264 streaming quality of Nvidia Pascal (1000 series) is still better than AMD's Rx 6000 series? or are they equal quality?

[Elments]

My AMD radeon software does not even do anything when I click "Go-Live" it worked fine on previous to 23.x.x driver. Not sure what I am missing here I just cannot get to GO LIVE with AMD Radeon software. Moreover the streamlabs stream is not going above 240p even after manually setting for 1080 60p stream.
Something happened to streaming on my PC.
