Do Nvidia Graphics Cards Improve Video Streaming

I have loved Nvidia graphics cards for decades and always buy Asus branded ones when I can. They have always been great hardware. This GTX1650 card is no exception. I got it because my older card wouldn't run Red Dead Redemption and this card runs it great...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The i7 processor and the Nvidia graphics card makes video editing less painful. The Lenovo Vantage support software is very useful.

It's the best and most powerful streaming player you can get for money. The Nvidia comes with the updated CPU, the Nvidia Tegra X1 chip that’s 25 percent faster, 16GB of internal storage and 3GB RAM.You are getting a device that can stream in 4K HDR, with both Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos audio decoding. The former can optimize the more vibrant colors of HDR video on a scene-by-scene basis, while the latter finally allows for object-based soundtracks in Netflix. Unfortunately, Nvidia skipped out on supporting HDR10 , the non-proprietary alternative to Dolby Vision that’s mainly available in some Amazon Prime videos, and it doesn’t support YouTube videos in HDRT. The speed increase isn’t really noticeable in everyday use, but it’s necessary to power a the new Shield’s AI upscaling. This feature solves a real problem with streaming video today: Even on a 4K TV, most content still streams in 1080p or 720p, so you’re seldom making the most of the fancy panel you paid for. While most televisions have their own basic upscaling algorithms that can fill in some details in non-4K content, Nvidia went a step further by training a deep learning model to predict the difference between upscaled and actual 4K content. This model then runs in real time on the Shield, where it tries to fill in the quality gaps based on what it’s learned.In practice, this means that edges become sharper, face details become less blurry, and strands of hair become more defined. Nvidia is proud to show off the tech as well, including a “demo mode” that lets you toggle the AI mode or view it side-by-side with traditional upscaling. Going back and forth, the difference is often obvious, especially if you’re somewhat close to the TV or viewing 720p content on YouTube. Video purists can make the upscaler less aggressive or disable it entirely, but I never found this to be necessary.The new Nvidia Pro comes with a new designed remote with volume control adding dedicated fast-forward and rewind keys.

This card is relatively good on energy and has all of the latest Nvidia graphics card capabilities.

I wanted a small form workstation but needed NVIDIA graphics and this is working well for me.

Who can pass up an Nvidia graphics card with your choice of one of two free games?

I purchased two of these cards to record HD video with our Panasonic Streaming Video camera. Both cards were formatted in the camera without fault. The first one has been used and performed flawlessly. We had been getting random record errors with slower SDXC cards. We have recorded continuously for an hour and fifteen minutes on the the new 200MB card with no problems.

I use ON1 Photo RAW as my photography software and it is a power hog. The NVIDIA graphics card is able to handle this and other photography programs with lightening speed.

Don’t know much about graphics cards but I can tell you that this one blows away what I had. Love it.

Helps improve overall sound of your video!
