CODECS and File Size + GPU

[hektor314]

Hello
I use bandicam

Can somebody help? I record mainly charts on on different timeframes on 4K display. But my GPU 5500xt is limited to 5k resolution (VSR).
Bought 3070 rtx but it have bad drivers because from time to time looses signal somehow. (Screen turns off and on.)

Want to buy

Radeon 6800xt for 8K VSR recording on my 4K screen. Use currently those settings:

file type
mp4.

1 Fps

codec
H264 (AMDVCE/VCN)
quality 100

12 hours of recording gives me with those settings only 300mb file size.

The question is.
Will I get better quality recordings when I buy
Radeon 6800xt?

Iknow i can go cheaper on older cards but this one is more versatile and future proof.

This card have:
4K H264 Decode
Yes
4K H264 Encode
Yes

OR

Radeon Pro W5500?

Because:
https://www.amd.com/system/files/docume ... asheet.pdf
its have better those specs:

HEVC Encode (up to 4K)
HEVC Decode (up to 8K)

W5500 is rdna1 and 600xt is rdna2

What HEVC Decode (up to 8K) really gives me?

Will I get smaller file size, better qualty with W5500?

Thanks for answers.

If your screen turns black try a new hdmi cable, sometimes they have a small problem and lose their signal.

Why are you recording as video? You can setup your PC to take snapshots/screengrabs, that way you don't have to search through a video to find the shot you need.

HEVC is a standard which means that with the same settings you will get the same size, the quality might be different depending on the hardware but you would have to look at a professional review to get a good opinion.

Cheers.
How to pc can do that? Never heard of it?

I record mainly financial charts on on different timeframes on 4K display.

Actually I have 3 4k displays and 3 of them where turning off randomly at the point i have to reboot. That is why i sold 3070. Currently have 5500xt which VSR works perfectly that is the only reason i am considering amd. Maybe 3080 have better internals to not cause those issues regarding maximum (x4) DSR setttings. All cables are 1.4 DP came with monitor.
