H.264 vs QuickSync — Can You Tell the Difference? — Video Encoding Test
Should You use Hardware or Software Encoding for video transcoding, either for living streaming or simply compressing your final output file?
Today's video shows the difference between H.264 software encoding and Intel's QuickSync Hardware encoding in Adobe Premiere Pro.
Yes, I'm aware this isn't the same as Twitch Live Streaming in OBS, if there is enough interest in this video, I'll follow it up with NVENC vs H.264 vs QuickSync at 6Mbps 1080p to see what that looks like in OBS.

With all the choices of CPUs and Motherboards out there, it can be quite confusing what to get, what each one does, and why you should consider each one.
This is my summary of the 5 CPUs and 3 Motherboards worth considering either for an upgrade for an older machine, or a new build. Which one works for you depends on your needs.
---
First, we have the lower end third, the H110 Chipset motherboard and the Pentium G4400 and Core i3-6100. These are best for basic computing tasks and light gaming. If you have the budget, get the i3-6100, it is the long term bargin of the two CPUs, but the G4400 is fast for the price.
Intel Pentium G4400
Amazon.com - http://amzn.to/1MqYgep
Newegg.com - http://bit.ly/29SsBky
Intel Core i3-6100
Amazon.com - http://amzn.to/1q72xKi
Newegg.com - http://bit.ly/2bqajNb
(Which motherboard you get depends on the type of RAM you're using, if upgrading and keeping your old RAM, you likely need the DDR3 version, if buying new, get whichever costs less and RAM to match)
ASUS H110M-A D3 (DDR3) Motherboard
Amazon.com - http://amzn.to/25p8YbK
Newegg.com - http://bit.ly/2aRGgLx
ASUS H110M-A (DDR4) Motherboard
Amazon.com - http://amzn.to/1q72Btl
Newegg.com - http://bit.ly/2aRNQst
---
Second, we have the middle option, the H170 Chipset motherboard and the Intel Core i5-6500. This is by far the most recommended option, and it should meet the needs of about 3/4 of computer users in my opinion.
Intel Core i5-6500

(Which motherboard you get depends on the type of RAM you're using, if upgrading and keeping your old RAM, you likely need the DDR3 version, if buying new, get whichever costs less and RAM to match)
ASUS H170M-E D3 (DDR3) Motherboard

ASUS H170M-Plus (DDR4) Motherboard
Amazon.com - http://amzn.to/1MqYUbY
Newegg.com - http://bit.ly/2b0unU4
---
Finally we have the enthusiast/performance option, the Z170 Chipset Motherboard and the Intel Core i5-6600K and i7-6700K. This is for the top end of the market, either gamers who want the maximum performance for a gaming rig, or professional content creators looking to build a machine that handles video, images, and/or 3D content with ease.

You probably won't like hearing it, but this video is full of the truth, as it stands in spring of 2021... GPU prices are crazy!
RTX 3090 Unboxing Video - https://youtu.be/95SGM2PZxYg
#techdeals #unboxing #rtx3090
Notes:
#1. Yes, I know, more crypto mining stuff... I can't control the market, GPU prices are high because of this. If you can't beat em, join em... That's really all I can offer.
#2. Waiting is always an option if you have something you can live with. Prices will fall sooner or later. Probably. Hopefully. I just can't say when. It might be in 3 months, it might be in a year and a half. Hopefully not a year and a half!
#3. I passed on the RTX 3090 at $1,800 the first time around thinking "that's a crazy silly price for a video card, I'll wait for a better deal". Then I went and spent $2,200. Why? The world changed, or rather Bitcoin and mining changed, and now it somehow makes crazy sense.
#4. This was uploaded Feb 19th, it is publishing March 12th... it spent awhile as a member exclusive. It also means that some of the numbers here are out of date. Would you believe these cards are even HARDER to get now? The mining rate has softened a bit, however they still make $5 a day, which makes their payback period... not a lot.
