Enabling AV1 video encoding for the Intel Arc A750 GPU on Ubuntu

Enabling AV1 video encoding for the Intel Arc A750 GPU on Ubuntu

Comments 0 Comment

Hi everyone, Yesterday, I installed a new Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) into my main machine. Unfortunately, I had some problems when attempting to encode videos to AV1. However, it is easy to solve when we perform the following steps. It seems that we must use Intel-provided packages in order to enable the full use of the hardware. Barely using ffmpeg with Ubuntu’s default packages will show a couple of errors which are fixed when we install the intel packages. Note…

The Sparkle Intel Arc A750 Titan OC Edition Graphics Card

Comments 0 Comment

Hi everyone, Today, I have installed a new Graphics Processing Unit into my main machine. The card I chose is the Sparkle Intel Arc A750 Titan OC Edition. The reason for choosing this card has to do with video encoding, with its Intel Quick Sync component supporting VP9 and AV1 encoding. AV1 encoding is slow on the CPU itself, so having a GPU capable to do that is great. It is also able to encode to H264 and H265/HEVC. It…

Hi everyone, Today, we will be seeing the PNY Nvidia GeForce GT 1030 2GB PCI Express Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). This weekend, I didn’t write a post since I spent it diagnosing an issue with my Gigabyte GeForce GT 1030 D4 2G, where it seems it “died”, at least partially, on Windows. After diagnosing the issue and trying it on another PC, I realized that the card may have an internal malfunction preventing the Nvidia Windows drivers from working with…

EVGA will not make next-generation Graphics Cards. A look at my EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB Superclocked

Comments 0 Comment

Hi everyone, EVGA is reportedly quitting the graphics card market and will not make next-generation cards. With the NVidia GeForce 40-series reveal right around the corner, those who wish to upgrade their cards must make the switch to a new GPU vendor, like ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, PNY, and Zotac. I myself got my first EVGA card back in 2016. It is the EVGA GeForce 1060 3GB Superclocked version that costed just about $200 dollars at that moment. This GPU is…

Hi everyone, Today, we will be seeing the Gigabyte GV-N1030D4-2GL Nvidia Geforce GT 1030 Low Profile D4 2G Graphics Card. This is a Low-Profile GPU designed to fit on regular PCs but also on low profile cases. It is powered by an Nvidia Geforce GT 1030 GPU and have 2GB of DDR4 memory. Being a low-profile card, besides fitting on a low-profile case, means that this GPU is made for light uses like media playback or simple, non-graphics intensive games….

ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO Overclock

Hi everyone, Today, I’m showing you my Overclock settings for the ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO video card I’m using to run some BOINC Workunits. Yes, the GPU is old, but it still works, so why not using it to crunch some BOINC workunits and help in some projects? Yes, it may not be power efficient as newer GPUs, but again, it still works. Will I replace it later? Most likely yes. When? I don’t yet know, but possibly when…

MSI RX 570 Armor 4GB OC – AMD Radeon RX 570 Graphics Card

MSI RX 570 Armor 4GB OC – AMD Radeon RX 570 Graphics Card

Comments 0 Comment

Hi everyone, Today, I got the MSI RX 570 Armor 4GB OC Graphics Card which is an AMD Radeon RX 570 GPU. I’m using this GPU in my i7-3610QM Mini ITX PC, crunching BOINC Workunits, particularly, Collatz Conjecture workunits. This GPU crunches them at 26 minutes per workunit. In comparison, my Nvidia Geforce 1060 3GB can crunch those workunits at just 24 minutes. This makes the RX570 a little slower in that project. It may be faster on other projects…
