initial launch of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 was exempt from this generation however, as it used Volta NVENC instead of Turing. Nvidia updated the NVENC encoder of the GTX 1650 cards in 2020 to also use the Turing engine. The GTX 1650 Super uses the Turing NVENC engine as it is based on the TU116 rather than the TU117 used in the original GTX 1650. Seventh generation, Ampere GA10x Ampere has essentially the same NVENC generation engine as Turing. The only substantive difference is that NVDEC received support for AV1 decoding (with film grain). In entry-level mobile graphics, the GA107-chip-based GeForce MX570 comes in two versions, one of which (the GeForce MX570 A) has the hardware decoder and encoder permanently disabled during manufacturing. Eighth generation, Ada Lovelace AD10x Nvidia announced the next-gen NVENC with 8K 10-bit 60FPS AV1 fixed function hardware encoder in Ada Lovelace GPUs. Operating system support The Nvidia NVENC SIP core needs to be supported by the device driver. The driver provides one or more interfaces, (e.g. OpenMAX IL) to NVENC. The NVENC SIP core can only be accessed through the proprietary NVENC API (as opposed to the open-source VDPAU API). It is bundled with Nvidia's GeForce driver. NVENC is available for Windows and Linux operating systems. The free and open-source nouveau device driver does not support Nvidia NVENC. Application software support Adobe Premiere Pro added NVENC support in version 14.2 in May 2020 AJA Bridge Live Avidemux has supported NVENC since at least 2016, in H.264 or H.265 Bandicut DaVinci Resolve Studio when exporting video in H.264 or H.265 FFmpeg has supported NVENC since 2014, and is supported in Nvidia drivers HandBrake has supported NVENC since version 1.2.0 (December 2018), for H.264 and H.265 HitFilm express/pro when previewing video on the timeline or exporting video in H.264 or H.265 Jellyfin has support for NVENC for realtime transcoding Logitech Capture MacroSystem BogartSE supports NVENC export since v9.4 (October 2017) and UHD-Disc encoding since v11.3 (October 2019) MediaCoder Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) Shotcut StaxRip VideoProc GPU throughput Comparison of Encode Throughput See also Intel Quick Sync Video, Intel's equivalent SIP core Video Coding Engine, AMD's equivalent SIP core till 2017 Video Core Next, AMD's video core which combines the functionality of Video Coding Engine and Unified Video Decoder Nvidia PureVideo, hardware video decoding List of all Nvidia GPUs Nvidia NVDEC References External links NVIDIA VIDEO CODEC SDK
