I see, I was keen on buying the RX 6900xt but the internet says it doesn't have HW based Encoding. what Graphics card do you have? Also im curios as to how much fps do you get on AV1 (on your speed preset? resolution?)The I5-9400F doesn't have AV1 support so it gets done by software rendering, causing it too look a lot worse. Nor do I think that it even has H265 support either, but the reason why mine probably looks better is because of HW Acceleration so when i go to handbrake something, being on linux AV1 H265 and H264 all have a AMD VCE:

It renders out faster as well. But yours will probably look worse until you get something that can actually decode the video with hardware instead of software.
