Hey, not sure if anyone else had this problem.
Currently testing out xeon5506 server with rx550 as the gpu. Have constant micro-stutters every 1-3 seconds. Noticed that cpu spikes a lot. Is it due to cpu not able to keep up with encoding of the screen? No noticeable difference if I change resolution though. Running at 1280×768 res. Is there a way to check if NoMachine server is actually using cpu or gpu for video encoding?
Thanks for your time,
LordCorvin
Check the session files in /usr/NX/var/log/node/C-*:
grep -i encod /usr/NX/var/log/node/C-*/sessionIf you get:
Info: Using H.264 software encoder.
the encoding is done by the CPU, otherwise you’ll get “hardware encoder” if it is done by the GPU.
Sorry, forgot to mention that I’m using NoMachine Server for Windows
Any such files on Windows version?
Thanks
Found the Log. Apparently It can’t load the H.264 library. Any idea why?

Hardware encoding seems unavailable and you haven’t got a software encoder. See https://www.nomachine.com/AR10K00706
It says: NoMachine supports H.264 hardware encoding provided by graphics cards with Nvidia Kepler microarchitecture onward.
Does it mean AMD is unsupported? Chrome detects h.264 acceleration. RX550 specs say h.264 acceleration is supported.
AMD cards provide H.264 encoding but the API is different. NoMachine does not leverage it at the moment but support for AMD encoder is under development.
That sucks 🙁
Any approximate ETA on AMD support? Or it’s ready whenever it’s ready? Any beta versions you need testing?
It’s planned for version 7. The associated Feature Request is here: https://www.nomachine.com/FR01P03578
