Hi All,
We are looking at building a new compact/portable vMix workstation and would prefer to not have a large GPU. I have been looking into getting a CPU which supports Intel Quick Sync for NVENC and NVDEC. Does vMix support Quick Sync?
Searching the forum shows quite a few posts from a few years ago, but I could not find a definitive answer. I'd also welcome any thoughts on using Quick Sync as opposed to a dedicated GPU.
Thanks!

You can certainly run vMix with onboard Graphics, however from experience you will find that your CPU will quickly start struggling when you start adding significant numbers of inputs, and/or recording & streaming. For a modest number all will be ok.

I was under the impression that Quick Sync was some custom stuff on the Intel silicon which highly optimised encoding and decoding...vastly improving performance over just standard onboard graphics?

It has existed on Intel CPU's since 2011. So you have been using it if your PC is younger than that. AFAIK is does not support NVENC
