Surprised with QSV performance in handbrake, is it going to be even faster when my RTX3060 gets here?

Hey all, having an absolute ball with my new Unraid server.

 

10th gen i5-10400, Plex server with ALL the arrs working sweeeet together and gotta love that hard-link moving. Experimenting atm with Lidarr and Handbrake.

 

I have another month to wait for the RTX3060 I've ordered so I'm looking forward to some bare-metal gaming but can anyone shed a light on whether the 3060 will be any faster or better in some regard for Handbrake QSV transcoding?  If it's not much faster I'll just use the iGPU for everything except for gaming.

 

Using the Handbrake preset "Hardware/H.265 QSV 1080" I am getting a solid 200-225fps encoding speed converting 1080p h264 content to h265. I was definitely NOT expecting that level of performance, but this is my first PC build in 6 years.... Haven't quite figured out how to see fps performance in Lidarr yet, maybe a Pro version feature, or more likely I need to rtfm.

 

Cheers
