When you test - it dithers the intermediate stage (functions like noise to "hide" the banding), so it doesn't look as bad on a gradient as no dither - but the filesize balloons up because of the dithering Handbrake/vidcoder definitely uses an 8bit intermediate stage this is well documented. If there is an 8bit step, you will get gaps in the data such as 0,4,8, instead of 0,1,2,3,4,6,7,8, which of course results in more banding, less accuracy, worse compression It also completed the "SampleProject 4K" UHD test in 0:59 and FHD test in 0:30, compared to my VEGA 64's scores of 1:33 and 0:48 respectively.You can test it with a 10bit gradient.

#XMEDIA RECODE VS HANDBRAKE GTX 980 UPGRADE#
IMO $1300 is a lot for a GPU considering my 9900K, VEGA 64 LQ, motherboard, DDR4 & Liquid Cooler upgrade only cost $1350 and my 11700K, VEGA 56, motherboard & DDR4 upgrade only cost $850. I was really hoping to find one in the $650 range like when first introduced, but that's not going to happen until the mining craze slows. HOWEVER, for my day-to-day work, in reality, I'm only getting 15% better performance tested across about 5 different recent projects, so I'm not sure if I'll keep it considering the price. So, I'm getting about 35% better performance according to that benchmark. It also completed the "SampleProject 4K" UHD test in 0:59 and FHD test in 0:30, compared to my VEGA 64's scores of 1:33 and 0:48 respectively. (The 6800 XT did not drop below 20 fps, so it was easy to see that it was in the 22 FPS range as on his 11900K system.) On one hand, the "SampleProject 4K" playback rate is above 20 fps between the 2 markers compared to my VEGA 64 LQ's average playback of 13.25 fps.

I installed my (overpriced IMO) $13 XT today in my non-overclocked 11700K system, benchmarked it, and have mixed feelings.
