Maybe one day Valve adds support VAAPI encoding for AMD users... https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/4890 [External Link]

3 years ago and still nothing... for gaming on steam link nvidia is better.

It has H.265 hardware encoder, but not VP9. That's annoying, but not a major issue.

Personally, I'm looking forward to AV1 becoming ubiquitous everywhere. It should happen soon.
Steam no support amd mesa vaapi implementation, gaming on Steam link not playable, totally choppy software-rendered, in nvidia simply works.
