First(?) HEVC H.265 encoding results are in for Polaris

Looks to be 120+FPS for 1080p.
They also have samples they encoded available, but, you need to download them and play them in VLC or something that supports H.265 playback.

Quality is bleh even at the highest bitrate download - detail is lacking and rather smeared. Accelerates just fine here with a 1070 via MPC-HC x64 DXVA:

EDIT: Variable framerate too, bleh.

maybe not the best encode but also just 3Mb/s don't expect miracles

it looks fine if the encoder is really fast.

I think they're trying to add hardware encoding support for AMD cards in OBS. It looks like they've got h.264 vce enabled in the latest RC build.
