For Windowsĭownload the Auto-detect tool which will install all the required drivers for your windows laptop or PC, you can also download the drivers dedicated for your hardware if you know about your chipsets and variant details. Although AMD provides Linux compatibility for their drivers and software’s I prefer the open-source drivers for Linux. We will discuss how to set up the AMD encoder in OBS for both windows and Linux, both need different methods for best quality. Efficient How to set up AMD encoder in OBS.Hardware encoders use less CPU and produce high-quality outputs compared to software encoding methods. CPU encoding is focused on quality where GPU encoding is focused on speed - if you can accept lower quality or higher final bitrate then GPU encoder will be faster, if your goal is highest possible quality at lowest possible bitrate then CPU based encoder will be closer to your goal at a cost of encoding time. This plugin is integrated in OBS Studio since Version 0.16.2. One of the main problems I noticed is that software encoders use more CPU. AMD Encoder for OBS Studio obs-amd-encoder is a plugin for Open Broadcaster Software Studio which adds support for native AMD Hardware encoding through the use of AMDs Advanced Media Framework.It offers a user-friendly UI integration for the complex settings that AMD AMF offers. This is expected as software encoders and default settings aren’t optimized for all devices out in the market. When you first install the OBS software, will be in its default configuration, which so far in my experience produced poor video recording quality.
