Choosing the right GPU encoder can make or break your streaming experience, affecting quality, latency, and system performance. Modern hardware encoders like NVENC, QuickSync, and AMF have closed the ...

So NVIDIA has yanked CUDA API support for video encoding, and here is a posting confirming it. So from NVIDIAs perspective you'd have to lean on the application developer to switch to the NVENC API.

Starting with Kepler family GPUs, there is a dedicated H.264 encoder called "NVENC", which offloads all parts of the H264 encoding pipeline. This is supposed to be a step-forward in terms of power, ...
