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
