If a video encode isn't utilizing any of the GPU section what exactly is the point, or if it isn't utilizing it to the full why isn't it?

Seems silly to me.


Buy product "A" as it encodes video, but either not as fast as product "B", but it only has to work 25% as hard to not do it as fast, or it does it as fast as product "C", but no faster as it only uses 25% of the available resources.
