    Encoder and playing 4k video question


    Hello,

    QA. [AMD RX 6600 8 GB - Powercolor] Fighter AMD Radeon™ RX 6600 8GB GDDR6 - PowerColor please help me confirm this GPU has video encoder, I have looked at the site but could not find any info about encoder, where is the encoder specs written in the their website?

    QB. [AMD RX 6600 8 GB - Powercolor] vs [Nvidia RTX 4060 8 GB - PNY], is there anything that the RTX 4060 can do but the RX 6600 cannot do?

    QC. I read youtube 4K videos are played using integrated GPU by default even if you have plugged in the dedicated GPU, is it true?

    QD. Someone mentioned youtube 4K video will play better on a dedicated GPU is it true?

    QE. If you are using integrated GPU with dedicated GPU, is it better to set everything to use dedicated GPU and ignore the integrated GPU? How to set?

    Thanks

    "Q. So I noticed this morning while playing a 4k 60 fps video on YouTube that by default chrome was using intel GPU of laptop to render the video (in task manager Intel GPU shows 30% usage while nvidia 0%) so I thought why not nvidia GPU for video playback and went to the windows graphics settings and chose Nvidia processor for chrome like this And now the nvidia GPU was working while playing a video on youtube tho iGPU also running because my laptop display directly connected to the intel GPU and have no mux switch either. But the same video played and I immediately noticed better and good sharpness on that same video (compared to iGPU render) so I went back and forth and tried switch the graphics preference and I got the same results. So my question is, is that really a thing where nvidia GPU will output better video quality (same resolution and full screen mode and so the codec which is vp9) than the iGPU or is it just my brain fake assuming it'll look better because it's a discrete card?"
    "A. It depends mostly on the original videos hosted on Youtube. If the videos are made in 4K or higher, a dedicated GPU may help greatly. But if you watch standard HD videos, any iGPU will play nicely in 720p or even 1080p. Anyway when you are streaming content from Internet, connection speed and screen quality are important too."

    "I cannot watch 4K videos properly. It lags and hangs a lot and it's because it uses the CPU to play the videos instead of my totally capable of playing 4K videos RX 560. How do I force YouTube to play 4K videos with my GPU instead of CPU? I've checked many posts and I already enabled hardware acceleration everywhere in Edge and I still cannot make it to work. My processor is an Intel i3-7100. How is it possible that nearly 100% of my computer uses the GPU for everything except for YouTube? I can normally watch 4K videos outside this platform when using Windows programs and etc.. And not here.. At least I want to watch it outside YouTube in an external video player I don't care but I really need to be able to watch 4K normally." Blocked

    Over several threads you are getting caught up in to many minute things imo. The computer specs you have been wanting to purchase just purchase them they are current parts.

    I understand you want a good computer and want to make sure that you can do many things but these parts are good. You don't have to worry about all this nuanced logic.

    The same logic would be like trying to purchase a 4wd and asking if it can go off road. The answer is yes it can go off road.
