I second what Scaine said, same card, same long time relation with Nvidia and same bug-free AMD experience.
While there are many good reasons to do so, these two aren't really it. HL:Alyx is buttersmooth on NVIDIA and always has been. And the CP2077 is apparently more the result of a buggy game and therefore more chance than anything else. Besides AC Valhalla is the other way around.
Best reason is that they actually make high performing GPUs now!

Well i can't switch anyway atm. Theres no cards to buy with sane prices...so theres that :D

I've been recording without Nvenc for a while, in order to minimize fps loss I run both the game and ssr by manually assigning cores via taskset. In most of the times the performance loss is very small.
It's not as good as Nvenc but far from unusable.
HLA wasn't buttersmooth for me and I'd really like to replay it with better gfx perf. And I don't care about AC and I sort-of care about CP2077. So in my particular case they might be.

Is that through VAAPI encoder? I haven't tested it much, but I thought it should unload the CPU.

Never tried VAAPI encoder, unfortunately simplescreenrecorder doesn't seem to support it either.
All the videos I upload to my youtube use purely the cpu. I guess if you have a modern high core/thread cpu this is not a big deal, but I can't say the same for an old quad core i5, where a gpu encoder would be a huge benefit.
I guess I'll have to switch to OBS someday.....yeah yeah I know, it would be about time

On a side note, refunded CP2077, Just not ready yet. I feel they should have postponed release for more polish.

Which software do you use for VAAPI recording? I only tried simplescreenrecorder which seems to support nvenc but not vaapi.
