Hello support team,
I have a general question, maybe someone can help me. Can someone tell me what is the most important factor for quality when converting with Quicksync? This means whether it depends on the intel driver or, for example, the libraries that are used or even which iGPU technology is used?
My question is whether the quality will be better in the future with an update from Handbrake, or whether the limit has been set by using a intel i9 9900k with iGPU UHD 630, for example.
Is the quality better with an intel CPU with Gen 11 iGPU UHD 750 or is the encode just faster?

What is the reason for improving the quality with Ice Lake HEVC hardware encoding? Is it because of the technology used or the software such as Handbrake, which gets better and better over the years?Version 7 (Ice Lake)
The Ice Lake (microprocessor) adds VP9 4:4:4 decoding, VP9 encoding (up to 10-bit and 4:4:4), HEVC 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 decoding and encoding,[14] HDR10 Tone Mapping[15] and Open Source Media Shaders.[16] HEVC hardware encoding quality has also been improved.[17]
Have any of you already converted with a UHD 630 and a UHD 750 and could, for example, determine a better quality with the same encode settings?
I am asking because I would like to continue using Quicksync because the performance is good, but I would also like to improve the quality in the future. The latest Gen12 Xe CPUs will soon come onto the market and the performance of the iGPU is up to 50% faster than Gen 11. My question is whether maybe the quality of the videos can get better as well.
I hope someone has already had experience and can share the results with us.
Best Regards
