Went from a 4770 to a 2700x expecting some real gains, but not seeing it. (I have a Nvidia 1060 video card)
I have 16gb of ram running at 3000.

In processor mode only, esitmated time to complete is 17 minutes on a 11 mintute 4k project (MP4 50 Mb/s), uses 100% cpu.
(no effects)

With hardware mode enabled, it drops to about 12-13 mintues, and uses only 40% cpu. It's also not using much ram, but perhaps that's normal.

Was I crazy to expect a jump in performance from the extra cores? Basicially I'm not seeing anything much better than the 3-4 year old intel, expected a much larger improvement.

Maybe you need to turn some items on.

As I see it is right with HA surrender is faster and CPU works with slack.
You choose whichever is best, I prefer HA enabled.
The change of CPU with more colors increases in the same proportion, example when I changed 2 colors to 4 doubled the speed, 4 to 8 colors doubled the speed in general

If there is a way to optimize CPU + HA, I do not know yet.
