"Intel’s Arc A770 and A750 were decent at launch, but over the past few months, they’ve started to look like some of the best graphics cards you can buy if you’re on a budget. Disappointing generational improvements from AMD and Nvidia, combined with high prices, have made it hard to find a decent GPU around $200 to $300 — and Intel’s GPUs have silently filled that gap.

They don’t deliver flagship performance, and in some cases, they’re just straight-up worse than the competition at the same price. But Intel has clearly been improving the Arc A770 and A750, and although small driver improvements don’t always make a splash, they’re starting to add up."

I don't think realtime AV1 encoding is really going to be necessary for quite awhile tbh. A Ryzen i3 should be able to hit around 10fps on software AV1 encoders and get like 5x the quality. Otherwise x264 on medium is blazing fast and way better than what hardware h.265 will get you.
