I have seen a few people having issues getting encoding/decoding to work using Intel 600 series motherboards and AMD RX6400/6500XT GPUs. After a bit of digging I found a solution. Being able to use the intel iGPU for encoding/decoding makes 8k video playback a lot smoother and less CPU intensive. Make sure you have an intel CPU with an iGPU, any intel CPU ending in the suffix "F" or "KF" does NOT have an iGPU. Also, this was tested with a 600 series motherboard (LGA 1700). First: Enter your UEFI and navigate to: Advanced -> Chipset Configuration Set "Primary Graphics Adapter" to "Onboard" Save and exit. Second: Connect your display to a display output on your motherboard's rear IO (not the GPU)  Lastly: Reboot the system and test 8K 60fps playback: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3fUgOKFMNU Make sure to select "4320p60". Now you should be able to view smooth 8k 60fps footage without high CPU usage and with no performance hit. Gaming will still default to your dedicated GPU so you won't lose any performance there either. There is also the added advantage of power savings using the iGPU for general desktop tasks etc. -------------

RX 6400/6500 XT + Intel 600 Series Encoding: What You Should Know The AMD Radeon RX 6400 and 6500 XT are entry-level RDNA2 GPUs aimed at budget gaming. However, one significant limitation of these cards is their lack of full hardware video encoding/decoding support ??especially for H.264 and H.265 (HEVC). These GPUs have limited or no hardware encoder (VCE) support, which is crucial for tasks like game streaming or video content creation. That?™s where the Intel 600 series chipset (e.g., B660, Z690) paired with 12th Gen Intel CPUs (Alder Lake) comes in handy. Intel CPUs with integrated graphics (iGPU) include Quick Sync Video, a highly efficient hardware encoder. So if you're using an RX 6400 or 6500 XT and need reliable encoding: Enable the Intel iGPU in BIOS Use Quick Sync through OBS, Adobe Premiere, or HandBrake This setup lets your Intel CPU handle the encoding while the AMD GPU focuses on rendering ??giving you the best of both worlds without needing a high-end graphics card.
