A graph depicting AV1 coding efficiency, based on the 1080p park_joy clip from Derf's Test Media. aom-av1-lavish (based on aomenc) takes the lead here, while Aviator's SVT-AV1 tune (tune 2) comes in second. Tune 1 is a close third, while Tune 0 & rav1e come in a close third & a more distant fourth. While rav1e & the two stock SVT-AV1 tunes are nearly identical near the higher end of the quality range, tune 2 & lavish clearly pull ahead. Seeing SVT-AV1 come closer to lavish is very impressive considering the different design goals of the two encoders, with SVT-AV1 being primarily focused on speed & parallelization.
