Description of problem or question:
I currently encode using my CPU in x265 and I was wondering if I can use my 3090 to encode in x265 using the same settings, I have tried using NVENC but it increases the file size. Is there any way to encode in x265 and achieve same compression that I get with my CPU?
HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):
Nightly 20210731215317-abbc04908-master (2021073101)
Operating system and version:
Windows 10
Can I encode in x265 using my NVIDIA GPU??

Re: Can I encode in x265 using my NVIDIA GPU??
No, x265 is a software encoder only.
Re: Can I encode in x265 using my NVIDIA GPU??
No. NVEnc and x265 are implementations of the H.265 (also known as HEVC standard).
x265 is a software implementation. NVENC is a hardware implementation. Hardware encoders are typically faster but more limited. x265 does not support GPU encoding.
