Ultimate Encoder Quality Analysis 2020 (NVENC vs AMF vs QuickSync vs X264) - You might be surprised

After far too many requests to updated my previous X264 vs NVENC and NVENC vs AMF/VCE videos with newer AMD drivers, I've finally put together what I consider to be the ultimate package of encoder quality comparisons. This is the state of streaming encoders for 2020 and where each stands on a quality level, with some notes about issues AMD users face moving forward.

NVENC vs AMF/VCE vs QuickSync vs X264 - ULTIMATE Encoder Quality Analysis 2020

Welcome to the ULTIMATE video encoder quality analysis for 2020. In today's video I compare all of the major streaming encoders - X264 vs NVENC vs AMF/VCE vs...

Super great job, but you list in the title QuickSync but i do not see a single QuickSync entry in these graphs, maybe I'm just confused but some clarity would be helpful.

It is mentioned in the Shooters Scene and below sections.

Wow, this is a huge analysis. Thanks for doing all that work!

To make sure I'm interpretting the charts correctly, every encoder in a given set had the same output bitrate? So it is simple as higher the better, within one set? I'm just surprised to see NVENC H264 beating x264. I've never seen a hardware encoder achieve that.

I'd definitely rather encode using my RTX 2070 Super than my CPU.
