Description

Unable to determine video encoding details for Intel® Arc™ Graphics Card.

Resolution

Refer to the features section of the specific Intel ARC graphics card in ark.intel.com for the supported encode/decode options.

  • There is no theoretical limit to the number of concurring videos encodes that can happen simultaneously, at least not from the driver and graphics unit perspective.
  • The practical limit is going to be defined by the overall hardware configuration and the software being used.
  • Generally, Intel Arc can support 4K@60fps with four AV1 encoder instances working simultaneously.
  • The maximum FFMPEG encoder instance number varies with any given resolution and frame rate. Mainly dependent on the memory configuration, hardware configuration, resolution, bit rate, etc.

For example, running 3 simultaneous encode jobs and starting a 4th one can be possible on a system with 16GB of memory, but the same experience may be slower on a similar system with 12GB.

Additional information

FFMPEG is an open-source software project consisting of a suite of libraries and programs for handling video, audio, and other multimedia files and streams.
