Steam in-home streaming with hardware encoding

[haze_1986]

Hi all, I've been experiencing weird artifacts when I turn on hardware encoding in steam's in-home streaming. I am using a sapphire R9 290 on the host and and old laptop with HD 2600. I have tried with and without steam beta but experiences the same thing. It works perfectly without hardware encoding. Do I need to install anything for VCE to work on the host?

Ooops, used wrong word, should be artifacts. The artifacts made the image totally distorted.

maybe your network is too slow? wired or wireless? I played with a GTX 660 Ti over wireless to a MacBook Air and I don't see artifacts.

don't think so. unless using hardware encoding requires much more bandwidth than software, since it works perfectly for soft.

Is "accelerated video transcoding" required while installing drivers for hardware encoding to work in steam?
