    I upgraded to an RTX Quadro 4000 on my media server (from a 750ti) and it still doesn’t support AV1 lmao.

    Even last time I was on PC partpicker, the top beefy 10k USD media chonker machine was targeting a specific CPU for cheap AVX512 support because apparently it was required for heavy AV1 work, which I assume meant the GPUs couldn’t keep up.

    Sweet. Once handbrake and other programs like kdenlive support export in it, I’ll start encoding new stuff in it, at least for testing it out. It’ll be slow but that’s fine. A couple years for hardware decoders in desktop/laptop graphics cards. More for mobile. A couple more for hardware encoders. Then there’s the AI hardware shortage that’ll make adoption even slower. VVC is already practically dead. It’ll be slow for adoption but AV2 is going to be running almost unopposed with how little has happened with VVC in 6 years
