Decoding via hardware or software should be the same quality.

When it comes to encoding, hardware had been inferior. There has been steady progress on the hardware encoding front with GTX10xx being better than GTX9xx, etc., and again with Nvidia's RTX series, and the GTX1660/1660ti (gtx1650 has older hardware encoder) which have improvements. So much so that there is said to be little, if any difference between software and hardware encoding quality, with better speed when using the GTX20x0 or GTX1660/1660ti. Unfortunately BD Rebuilder isn't using hardware encoding.
