I assume it’s to early for whether quick sync would be comparable to a dedicated gpu?
QuickSync is a dedicated GPU. It’s just built in vs in a PCI slot.
But to answer your question it’s probably easy to say it’s better than a consumer nvidia card since that is limited to 2 transcodes. How it will compare to a high end/expensive Nvidia or a normal AMD card is hard to say as any optimization could change things.
If you have any AMD cards laying around try it and see what difference you get. It’s all experimentation for us users right now! We all benefit from the testing we each do.

The are comparisons around if you google for image quality… from what I’ve read quicksync and amd give similar results. For performance, tough to say at this point…
My point of view is that if your cpu is good enough for everything else then using a mid tier, recent Gen GPU is probably your best and cheapest option.
If you do need to upgrade your cpu and hesitate Intel vs ryzen, I’d choose Intel because you get the integrated GPU.

Thanks for all the input, right now I am using amd 5350 its been pretty decent thus far but I can see the bottle necks for sure. I love it for it’s low watts but I don’t think adding a gpu to my current system would be worth it? I only have about 2 streams going at a time right now the so the needed for ryzen for all those cores I don’t think I would benefit from where intel gives me some leg room when more hw transcoding comes in to play.
