Intel QuickSync works only in Resolve 16.1 and older -

Hello,

I was trying to figure out slow export speed on Windows PC using Intel QS on HD620. I did several tests and it seems newer versions of Resolve don't support Intel QS on Integrated GPU properly.

H.264 1080p export in Resolve 16.1 using Intel QuickSync on Integrated GPU
- avg. 80-90 fps
H.264 1080p export in Resolve 16.1 using Native (software decoding)
- avg. 10-11 fps

H.264 1080p export in Resolve 16.2 or 17 using Intel QuickSync on Integrated GPU
- avg. 10-11 fps
H.264 1080p export in Resolve 16.1 using Native (software decoding)
- avg. 10-11 fps

GPU drivers were the same, that means the newest version available on Intel.com.

There is no GPU acceleration in newer versions of Resolve and performance drop is significant. Could dev team look into this? Was Intel QS support dropped in newer Resolve releases on Windows?

Thank you for your feedback.
