HW Decoding (by hacking) - it’s the same story with the one 100% thread and slowing the whole transcoding to almost 1x speed (it barely keeps up with only one 4k HEVC stream)
GPU usage: 7% Encoding and 11% Decoding [as you can see, the card just waits mostly… not being used… like most of the CPU cores for that matter]
Without the HW Decoding hack it uses all 16 cores and can keep up with a couple of 4k HEVC streams, like always.
GPU usage: 16-20% encoding and obviously 0% Decoding
