Best. Add a Comment. dleewee • 4 yr. ago. CPU or software encoding is more accurate than GPU encoding. The result is that CPU encoded files are typically either higher quality for the same size, or a smaller file size for the same quality. GPU encoding on the other hand is more power efficient than CPU encoding.The AMD HEVC encoder is far better than the AMD H.264 encoder, and the new AMD AV1 encoding support on RX 7000/VCN4. seems to be the savior of AMD encoding quality. Nonetheless they are currently no match for Intel QSV and NVIDIA NVENC. VCN4.0 additionally improved the encoding speed drastically.Machine type must be q35 with OVMF BIOS (UEFI boot), CPU Type set to "Host". Boot the VM with default Proxmox emulated graphics, then enable Remote Desktop. Shut down the VM, remove the Proxmox graphics (set it to "none"), then add the virtual function iGPU. Boot the VM, RDP to it, then install Intel official drivers.Specifically jellyfin for transcoding.
