No it's a proprietary custom AV1 encoder using FPGAs. It's trying to bridge the gap between CPU and GPU video encoding. A hybrid video encoder maybe but the reason I posted is because the fast preset aurora1 seems to be on par with preset 8 libsvt.

I was able to finally hunt down a comparison where quality validation was done with quicksync AV1 but you should take it with a grain of salt as it's a 3 year old sample and missing tons of libsvt quality improvements that were added recently.

but yeah low bitrate and GPU video encoding just don't mix.
