Oh okay very cool. So it isn't actually the resolution, it is just the HDR10 part. Very cool. The performance is still good and very usable of course. Just found it odd, as my sources said it would be incredible performance.
Thank you very much!

ETA: My Arc A380 gets those numbers when encoding to AV1 and HWA with this card is a massive improvement over an iGPU.
I just tested it and going from 0 sessions to 1 4K HDR session used 2 GB of Ram and CPU bumped to about 30%. So seems like a mix of of RAM and CPU. Very cool. Good thing I only own one 4K movie.
Thank you very much.
