Yeah, it's a ratio test, and both scores fluctuate depending on things like memory bandwidth and fill rates. In this case lower bandwidth cards tend to do better, since they aren't as likely to be bottlenecked elsewhere (whereas the 2080 Ti has bandwidth to spare for days).
It's imperfect, to say the least. But people have been asking for the data, so here it is.
I thought, maybe, faster cards don't bother compressing since they don't need it and it uses more power. But other than that, I thought it's just a question of the supported algorithms.
Considering these current GPUs seem pretty darn similar. My pick between NVIDIA & AMD would the AMD card simply for the fact that NVIDIA needs competition in the future.

One good thing about the SUPER variant of the 1650 is it adds the Turing version of NVENC which will boost performance for live streaming and Plex transcoding. The base 1650 used the Volta NVENC for some reason.

That's strange.I thought, maybe, faster cards don't bother compressing since they don't need it and it uses more power. But other than that, I thought it's just a question of the supported algorithms.
