Hi, thank you for the comprehensive explanation.

Using an alternative GPU unit is not a viable solution at the moment, as the one included with the computer is too outdated to support the newer OS version and H.264 hardware encoding. I could consider using an RX 580 unit, which is architecturally similar but faster, which I own; however, it is currently in another country, and it’s improbable that I will be able to retrieve it soon. The plan was to use the computer in headless mode since only CPU power is needed for the intended tasks. Therefore, the most affordable GPU that seemed to meet my requirements was selected (H.264 support by the GPU is one of them). The issue is that software encoding is CPU intensive, which results in laggy streaming and diverts CPU resources from the primary processes.

I could attempt to upgrade the CPU to the fastest one available for this model (or even switch to a dual CPU setup, although this would be an expensive alternative), to see if it improves the situation.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Hi,

here are the logs from the latest package you’ve sent today.

Thank you for not forgetting about me 🙂

Hi,

Would you still like to send me the debug version?

[Rexiy]

sorry, please disregard my previous message. I was able to update my email address and have access to it now

[Rexiy]

Yes. but currently I do not have access to my email and unable to edit it in the profile. Would you please share a link to the download?

Hi,

As I mentioned, one method I used to verify this was through the QuickTime export option for both H264 and HEVC formats. A test video of 5 minutes was converted to H.264 in approximately 3 minutes and to HEVC (H.265) in 5 minutes, with minimal CPU usage and significant GPU load (monitored using the iStat Menus application). A CPU-only conversion would have taken considerably longer. These conversion times are more typical for modern 8-core CPUs that utilize all 16 threads, not for my outdated 4-core Xeon CPU that is 14 years old.

Additionally, I confirmed this with VideoProc Converter, which includes a tool to check if the GPU can be used for video conversion. I have attached a screenshot as evidence.

If you know of a better method to verify this, please inform me, and I will test it myself.
