I just put together a new system and am not getting the FPS encoding that I would expect with Handbrake. If I run x264 Benchmark HD, I get around 75-80 FPS on Pass 1 and about 20-25 on Pass 2. This is on par with some of the results I've seen on sites doing benchmarks of comparable systems. If I take the same video file they use in that benchmark and process it in Handbrake, I get around 40-45 FPS in Pass 1.
I understand I may not be using the same exact settings they use in x264 Benchmark HD in Handbrake I guess I just thought I would get much better performance.
