Quality and efficiency In August 2016, Netflix published a comparison of x264, VP9, and x265 using video clips from 500 movies and TV shows using 6 different quality metrics and found that both VP9 and x265 have 40%–50% better quality at 1080p than x264.

Which is better x264 or x265 HEVC?

x264 is an earlier codec and is used in a lot of videos nowdays and x265 is a newer standard. But what does it mean in the real world. a video compressed using the H265 standard would be smaller in size and would be better in quality for a similar video compressed in H264.

How much more efficient is H265?

HEVC compression is 50% more efficient than AVC, which translates into maintaining the same video quality at half the bitrate or double the video quality at the same bitrate.

Similar for x265. If for some reason you need to use extremely low bitrates for a given resolution, then x265 can make things less bad/artifacty than x264.

X265 is very good at giving reasonable quality for a small file size but it takes roughly 10x the processing power to encode/decode.At the file size you are looking at there will be little difference in quality between the two.The 8bit/10bit doesn’t make much difference either. Oh how far we have come! now this… this is true facts.
