Hi. Our church have been using vMix for 2 years now and appreciate all the powerful things it can do.
I am by no means a tech guru or any in my church for that matter. However, we have been slowly upgrading our tech booth and learning new things. We are currently using a desktop PC (Ryzen 5800x, rtx 3060ti, 16Gb DDR4 3200 CL14 dual channel RAM, windows 11. We are in the process of trying to use a laptop in the future for an additional small studio setup.
Im wondering if vMix will officially support other GPU's like radeon RX series and the upcoming intel ARC lineups. It would be nice to know if vMix will support those platforms to provide users the freedom to choose what desktops/laptops hardware components we can use depending on our budget. RTX graphics are expensive; and usually comes with intel CPU's (for laptops) which I know for a fact runs hotter and louder in most cases.

I would count on it.
And in my own interest I would prefer if there development resource won't be split to support 2 Vendors.
So go for a AMD CPU but NVIDIA GPU,
I get pretty good results on Lenovo P series Laptops.

What do you mean by compatibility? vMix runs just fine on Radeon cards (and even integrated Intel chips).
Sure, you don't get hardware encoding but what, specifically, are you looking for?

Sure, you don't get hardware encoding but what, specifically, are you looking for? The key phrase is "officially support gpu hardware". In their youtube videos and website, the official gpu hardware supported is nvidia graphic cards only. I am not tech-savvy enough and confident to buy an all amd laptop and say to myself "I can 100% guarantee it will work". I have nothing against nvidia. Their product is awesome. However, laptops with nvidia gpus are generally more expensive compared to radeon gpus. I am hoping they will "officially support" amd and intel gpus in the future so buying options will be a lot more diverse, and cheaper too.

In many of the vMix FTLs (Fun Time Live shows) they've mentioned that the nVidia GPUs are the only "official" ones because that's what they test on. They've also acknowledged that most all other GPUs will work (heck, I've run shows on laptops with Intel graphics with great success). I get you may want the warm fuzzies of a Radeon card being official but I can say that it'll work. There are even reports of users who found that their Radeon cards were doing hardware encoding. https://forums.vmix.com/...celerated-encoding-doubtAt the end of the day what really matters is how well the GPU is supported by .NET 3.5 & WPF (the underlying windows libraries that power vMix and make it Windows only). tl;dr; Personally I wouldn't hesitate to buy a non-nVidia laptop on which to run vMix.
