Lionus Tech Tips coverage of PAXis 2014 is brought to you by Intel and Corsair.
All right, guys. So, Intel quicks sync with OBS. What does this mean? It allows
you to use the GPU part of your CPU on
Intel to encode things. So, instead of using a H.264 encoder, whatever else
you're using to do all of your encoding, you're able to move that off of the CPU
part of your CPU and onto the GPU, which would otherwise be doing nothing if you
have a dedicated graphics card in your system. This is great because it's
allowing you to squeeze more performance out of your computer that you otherwise
would not be able to do. My other favorite thing other than just the
performance increases of this is the fact that anyone with an Intel processor
that has Quicksync right now is able to use this. This isn't like a future thing
that only people that buy future CPUs are going to be able to get. This is
anyone that has a processor that can run quicksync. It's a nice value ad for
those of you that already own the product. And I really like seeing companies do that. Now, the setup for
this is quite easy. All you have to do is go in and change a radio button in
your OBS settings from whatever you have using the encoder right now over to
quicksync and you're done. Wham bam. That's it. You get a huge performance
increase and that's absolutely fantastic. If you like this video and you want to see all the rest of our

guys know, if you tag Linus Tech on Twitter and tell them what inspires you
about PAX East, you can be put into a contest to win a twoin-1 Taichi from
ASUS. And if you go to neweag.com right now, you can see a bunch of different deals from Intel on some Gigabyte
products and some ASUS products as well.
