![]() ![]() RTX Voice is a critical part of my streaming setup because it can intelligently separate my voice and my keyboard. If I switched to AMD Noise Suppression, I don’t think anyone that watches my streams would be able to tell the difference.īut did AMD GPUs even need this feature? Why not just set a noise gate in OBS? Well, the problem with noise gates is that they can only work based on volume, and background noise can get quite loud, especially the clicky noises from gaming keyboards. Much to my surprise, the results were quite good: my gaming keyboard was nearly inaudible, even while I was talking, and the quality of my voice wasn’t reduced. Given that AMD GPUs have no AI acceleration features like Nvidia GPUs, I was skeptical that Noise Suppression would be any good. AMD is catching up in this area with its new Noise Suppression tool, which is supposed to do the exact same thing as RTX Voice. AMD Noise Suppression is good but has poor support Getty ImagesĪudio quality is an important (and sometimes neglected) part of streaming, and here too Nvidia held the edge thanks to its RTX Voice software, which is basically an AI-enhanced noise gate. I’d like to see AMD assume as active of a role as Nvidia has in this area, not just when it comes to making updates but also distributing those updates. The newest version of AMF was done and just sitting as open source software until Open Broadcast Software contributors finally added it to the app, and now we have to wait for all the streaming services to update so you can use the new encoder. ![]() What AMD really needs to focus on in the future is updating its encoder just as often as Nvidia. This is a limitation of the hardware, not the software, so your RX 5700 XT will never be quite as good as an RX 6950 XT for streaming. That being said, only AMD GPUs based on the RDNA2 architecture (which includes RX 6000 series GPUs) can take full advantage of the AMF encoder because older GPUs don’t have support for B-Frames, which help to increase image quality. With respect to recording, each video was only about 3 minutes long and each was about 100MB, which is really good for people who upload unedited stream VODs to YouTube for archival purposes. Twitch, arguably the most popular game streaming platform, only allows up to 6000Kbps, which is a very small amount of data to work with. It would be pretty pointless if AMF looked good but needed a substantially higher bitrate to compensate. It’s especially important that AMF was able to achieve this using the same bitrate that NVENC was using. AMF did well in the rest of the benchmark as well, and you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference if the two recordings weren’t labeled. I selected this specific part because there’s lots of foliage, which is often difficult to capture with good quality (especially when there’s very little data to go around), but as you can see the difference between AMF and NVENC is essentially nonexistent. The above image is from the opening shot of 3DMark’s Time Spy benchmark, which I recorded using streaming optimized settings at 6000Kbps. Here’s why you should finally ditch Nvidia and buy an AMD GPU Here’s why I’m glad Nvidia might kill its most powerful GPUĪMD might crush Nvidia with its laptop GPUs - but it’s silent on the desktop front ![]()
