I just got the high end 16" Macbook Pro with 8 Core CPU and 5500M GPU and when I'm trying to export a H264 video, it only uses the CPU and Intel UHD Graphics 630. I assume that it's just using quicksync for the export and maybe the T2 chip but it almost completely ignores the dedicated 5500M GPU.
On my 2017 MBP, the system would load up both the iGPU & dedicated GPU on export for H264. Given so little CPU usage and maxing out of the iGPU while ignoring the dedicated GPU, it looks like there's really no benefit in upgrading to the 8 Core & better GPU for the new macbook pro. Is this normal behavior?
Also, is there a reason why choosing the "Master" H264 .MOV is substantially faster than Computer > H264 Better Quality?
