Nvidia silently up’s the cap on nvencode

Quietly and with little to no fanfare NVidia has upped the limit on NVEncode.

About frickin’ time!

Gives me options other than the P620 or A2000 for many places… I don’t think I have any places that need more than 5.
But I don’t think there are any consumer PCIe powered cards that fit in a 1U chassis so may be a moot point for me. But I bet there are some in here that are far more creative with their A/V setups than I.

Just because I am curious, what is the use case for encoding more than one stream at a time?

Not quite, it said consumer GPUs, not professional GPUs.
The Quadro P400 through P1000 are still listed as only 3 concurrent encodes, looks like this is just for the GeForce line.

My P620’s run 4 at a time with no issues… unless I want better than 1080p then I need the memory on the A2000’s . But I need to replace the boxes soon so having an option other than the commercial ones works for me.

I use them for encoding streams from security cameras.

Multiple users using Plex (for example) when transcoding required.

Would you mind my asking what security camera/system you use for this?
I have actually just started looking into some for commercial use that might utilize NVIDIA GPUs for encoding.

I am using Avilglon with all that motion control and stuff. It's good.

That's great, thank you!
