NVENC isn't as good as you think. It's good enough for streaming but for storing/archiving it's really bad. There's a lot of banding , especially in the dark scenes. Even CPU encoding with X265 medium preset is night and day better than even the latest ampere NVENC hevc . I wouldn't be surprised if CPU encoded x264 slow preset beats NVENC hevc. Anyway, thanks. Just putting info out there, incase you didn't know

@Pirate0fThe9 dont worry i know. It's really not as bad as you say. But im all about speed of encoding rather than super amazing quality. Also you are very wrong about ampere encoding it's pretty much tied with cpu just requires a little more bandwidth.

@YuiSubs, nah, I think your encodes are the best for x265. It’s really apparent when I watched jujutsu and millionaire detective. I’ve tried judas, ember, and other encoders’, but i noticed that some quick scenes look pixelated and choppy. And the audio especially the op and ed sounds quite harsh. But that’s not the case with your releases The quality is so close with the originals’ (horriblesubs, subsplease, etc) So please keep it up, don’t listen to the whiners. They already have many alternatives to begin with, and yet instead of going with those, they attack the one that different and wanting every x265 encodes to be uniform. Disgusting.

@Kwoey I haven't attacked anyone. I was just trying to share some information. I have seen test results that clearly show that software x265 is superior to NVENC at the same bitrates. Yuisubs is right, NVENC needs a bit more bitrate to look on par with x265. At the end of the day he can do whatever he wants. It's his encode and he's the one putting time and effort. I know that. I was just trying to be helpful, by letting him know that x265 is better for archival. His goal is speed, so NVENC is perfect for it. If my comment looks like an attack to you then I don't know what to tell you.

@Pirate0fThe9 well my test results show that his releases are way superior than others’ x265 releases. So fuck off with your bullshit information.

Yeah, it's pretty obvious who's attacking who

"It’s good enough for streaming but for storing/archiving it’s really bad." Logic: streaming quality is of if it's a little bad because it's streaming Reality: I don't care...you're watching for the watching, and in 20 years you'll watch for the watch again. And it takes up less space...so instead of buying 10 10tb drives on everything you'll save you can buy 4 or 5 and spend the rest of the money on BD copies you don't have to open (unless you want to transcode those to whatever they'll use in 2042).
