Does the 10 series encodes support B frames when HEVC encoding? Some reading I saw seems to imply it doesn't.
I have 2 1050s - a second hand 2 Gb one I recently put into an oldish pc (8 years old) and another 4Gb one in a new gaming laptop - both perform the same. With either DVDFab, or CloneBD, the time for a typical UHD ranges from 20 to 40 mins, depending on the length. For discs of around 60 to 70 Gb, where I tend to lose the ATMOS, compressing to bd-25 produces discs which I struggle to tell the difference from the original. As you get up to 90 to 100 Gb then you do occasionally see artefacts, and I tend to go for bd-50 with the ATMOS.
