AMD encoding in Handbrake suddenly very slow
I am terrified to post on here because I might get banned again for no reason, but here goes:

Two days ago I was encoding videos in Handbrake for win11 just fine with it being able to encode up to 330fps or so. Now it is encoding anywhere between 18-30fps.

I have not changed any settings on my pc, handbrake, or gpu drivers and settings--my windows is up to date (which probably might have messed something up knowing microsoft)

Temps are fine, they're not even getting hot at all...I don't know what to do here. I am at a loss.

It's like my computer decided to secretly change some secret setting that decides whether or not encoding goes at the fast speed I am used to, or 1/15th the speed

You tried a "clean" boot of the PC. As a test.

Double check settings in Handbrake; such as the quality slider and such.

Did you do updates for OS or drivers recently?

Even if you haven't manually changed settings, setting may have been changed. This looks to me like it's using cpu for encoding instead of gpu. You sure you have the correct setting? You re-install your drivers recently? Post picture of encoding settings?

Sorry got lost in the sauce of a related topic...

I am thinking it is something to do with my recent BIOS update?

I imagine it might have disabled "above 4g decoding" for no reason and "re-size BAR support".

This vid is at least halfway done and I'll just wait for it to finish encoding before messing with stuff.

Should I ddu my drivers and reinstall?

I have a version of Linix I installed on a separate partition on one of my nVMEs, that's about the only thing I can think of that i personally changed to my PC

Just check all the settings in Handbrake first, very simple

I did that...I have it all set to maximum speeds, the right preset for my hardware, etc. I am at a complete loss

I've encoded like 200 videos in it since I started using it and had no problems, and always checked the settings before starting an encoding. Now the optimized settings that i was previously using to get ~330fps during encoding is completely nerfed :(

Edit: i just tested a completely different video to encode in Handbrake and all of a sudden it's running at the normal speed....

I dont even understand how...?

Insert "wut?" meme
