Apple M1 Max Geekbench Score

I finally managed to get nvenc working on handbrake and the stupendous frame rate jump actually had me sit in stunned silence, from 3-15FPS to 120FPS on drone 1080p60 footage was jaw dropping. I know the m1 claims to be fast but I'm transcoding on a GPU that's from like 2015!

Just know that HW encoders on nVidia cards are usually inferior in quality compared to software encoders, altho the speed gain is very nice. I originally bought 2070 with its HW HEVC encoder, and apart from few test runs never used it again, because no matter the quality settings, its just worse (and I was never in a hurry).

No idea about HW encoders quality/speed on M1

It's great for things like streaming, and the 3rd series is quite good quality. For best compression and quality, ofcourse software encouder is best

Newer Macs have hardware accelerated transcode with Handbrake as well.
