Does the "transcoder quality" server setting have anything to do with Quick Sync transcodes?

If I have hardware accelerated Intel Quick Sync transcoding, does this or any other hidden server setting have anything to do with the image quality?

Or, for Quick Sync, is the only parameter the bitrate you pick in the playback format menu?

Those settings only impact software transcoding

Transcoder quality

… Hardware-Accelerated Streaming is not affected by this setting.

You cannot further influence hw-accelerated transcoding.
