Nvida NVENC

I found NVENC looked worse than whatever the OBS default was. What settings are you using?

The presets is Automatic and bitrate is at 3000 kb/sec. The performance you save from offloading transcoding tasks from your CPU to your GPU is insane, especially for lower end processors. I think it makes streaming modern games on a Pentium / i3 totally viable. Was streaming Skyrim maxed out at 60 FPS with a Phenom II X4 without breaking a sweat, that wasn't possible before. It feels like "free" transcoding, no CPU impact at all, it's beautiful!
 
CPU will always look much better until the video cards get serious about it. With that said NVENC quite passable as is the AMD VCE solution. Neither are super high quality yet. I'm hoping that both companies get more serious next year and release some kick ass encoders. I was reading the OBS VCE subforums and it seems that the little AMD 285 can do 4K encoding. That gives hope that the new series coming in June will be a step up from the current ones. If AMD can do 4K/60, then you know Nvidia will do the same.

According to the wiki all GTX 9xx series cards can encode 4k@60
