Pre-Encoding vs Transcoding
Okay so my current set up would be to pre-encode to x265 10bit slow CQ 21 via distributed encoding of 3 PCs - i5 12600K (Emby Server), Ryzen 8 5800X (Gaming PC) and Ryzen 9 3900X (spare pc) on average this can take around 20-25 minutes per TV episode while also doing AC3 2.0 192Kbps and AC3 5.1 448Kbps -- This does of course mean lots of electricity usage.
Storage:
1 x 12TB
1 x 10TB
3 x 8TB
7 x 6TB
I have a total of 20.10 "TiB" free across all drives (I have 4K Remuxes)

Beta Driver D3D9 and D3D11 are options but H265 > H264 fails and falls back to software transcode.
Then tried Standard 31.0.101.3277 - Blazing speed with D3D11 - Chrome has a spinning blue circle that doesn't go away but it's playing. 4K loading circle not present UHD 770 was 190fps so with 4K the Arc is slightly slower (on par) but smashes the UHD 770 at 1080p.
Drivers do definitely cause a lot of issues it seems, although the Arc has blistering speeds at 1080p, I'll be switching
