Today we’re diving into the performance vs quality trade-off between x264 (CPU encoding) and h264 (AMD GPU encoding) inside OBS. Is it really worth switching to x264? Who benefits most from it? And how do your in-game graphics settings affect the results?
We’ll explore all of that by running real benchmarks on three games: Call of Duty BO6, Cyberpunk 2077, and CS2, using both encoding methods at 3K and 8K bitrates, across both highest and lowest settings.
But keep in mind, this started as a personal test. I just wanted to know if switching to x264 was worth it for my setup; a Ryzen 9 5950X and RX 7800 XT. The results were honestly surprising, and I figured some of you might want to see this too.
This isn’t meant to speak for every PC build or every GPU, but if you’re on an AMD system or streaming on Twitch, this might help you decide.

I'll still try to figure out where to or if I would upload the benchmark vids; for now I'll just use screenshots from the video (but not compressed by YT) :D
