> They also said they’ll be supporting AV1 and NVENC codecs soon

You mean HEVC (x265)? I believe NVENC is just nvidia's hardware accelerated implementations of existing codecs.

Anyways, that sounds really interesting for both streamers who want more control over their streams' encoding, but obviously for Twitch, as it saves them compute power (though upping their intake bandwith?).

I wonder how feasible it would be for most streamers. Pushing one stream vs 3 or so is quite the difference.
