If you have an Intel CPU with quicksync, it will likely perform better than the 1060 in terms of visual quality, if its coffee lake or newer (8th gen).
If not, well, it'll be fine up to whatever the stream limit is (4?).
Xeon E5-2640 unfortunately does not, though still an upgrade of what I have now. Stream limit seems entirely configurable, so that will be just a matter of stress testing.
Won't lie I always forget about all the new CPU hardware acceleration after using decade old hardware for so long 😅
Yeah quicksync won't help you there.
I thought nVidia's limit was enforced by their drivers, but that's probably changed since it's been a while since I looked at nvenc as a solution (quicksync, then an ARC card over here).
