it's always a tradeoff between speed and quality. and most of the time cpu offers more quality while hardware encoders are faster, this is mostly because gpu encoders have a different use case than cpu encoders.
- astrange 6y agoThe GPU encoders aren't GPGPU programs, but just hardware encoders that happen to be on the GPU. The reason they're worse is because the algorithms they use are worse than x264, which had much more development time and better developers. (who have since retired to become professional cosplayers.)
