    This is great news. Being able to tap into hardware acceleration for AV1 will be crucial to it taking off. And all 3 of the major GPU vendors have support now.

      it’s a shame nvidia only supports encoding on 40 series cards - I wonder if it needs specialized hardware or if it’s an artificial limitation

        Damn that’s terrible, I was gonna borrow my mate’s card to do some encoding but now I guess that won’t work.
