And HW AV1 decoding is not using NVENC that this incompetent guy thinks.
It's using NVDEC.
The NVENC part (HW encoding) of Ampere cards is identical to Turing cards.
The only thing useful of this generally useless clip is that YouTube's AV1 8K60fps clips utilize about 47% to 54% of AV1 HW decoder of Ampere card which I think is impressive and a metric for AV1 HW decoder of Tigerlake Xe GPU and AMD RX 6000 series to beat.

Benchmark seems legit even if they don't know the lingo. Damn, the 3080 is one hot, power-hungry card. Hopefully it'll be optimized in drivers eventually.
