So hardware encoding on Nvidia GPUs. What codes are supported depends on the GPUSo it's definitely not a codec.A codec is a module that encodes and decodes (COder/DECoder...CoDec) information into a format. That format might be H.264 or VP9 or whatever. So yes. NvEnc is a codec, or at least, it is when partnered with the hardware decoding also. It's a codec for multiple formats.No idea something GPU related I think. But AV1 is the codec, which is free and performant and high resolution.
