I planned it after this here:


Although that guy has made it for gaming and I only will use it for video encoding via network / OBS or offline encoding (copy files over via Samba).

I will use Linux, so no need for a graphics card, I will probably only use the GC once for initial BIOS settings and installation, after it boots and runs stable there will be no need for a GPU.

Really it's the best price for performance combo that is also clearly faster than my current PC in video encoding.

The close alternatives were i5-8400 and Ryzen 7 1700, but in the end I decided against it for a better overall package, because that tiny small formfactor is really worth it, IMHO and a nice killer feature to have.

How do you like it?

H265 is amazing quality considering the file size.

x265 is a program producing H265-compliant streams, but yes, actually the program itself considerably improved over 1.x versions.

But also newest Nvidia HEVC + Staxrip also does very well (+supports kind-of-two-pass encoding), and the speed is over realtime.

Yes, x265 is a program. You can operate it directly or using ffmpeg that has been compiled with libx265.

I wouldn't go with a hardware encoder. Those are never good. Quality suffers at specific tasks, lack of features (HDR10 is still not properly implemented in nvenc as far as I know), etc.

Sorry my bad, you are doing streams, then its completely different story. I was just saying about H265 that it is really very good quality in certain tasks, especially for very high resolution VR videos or panorama videos what i do in my work (im talking now videos that are 8K or more in resolution, H264 cannot even do that, and Prores file sizes are absolutely insane). Now i will quit this offtopic.

What kind of streams you do? chat roulette alike dick spinning?

Nice petite build!


"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

Gib some benchmarks

E.g.

1) How many fps at crf18/slow settings in x264 for full HD video
2) Difference when using all cores and only "physical" cores (i.e. scaling of AMD's "hyperthreading")
