i have been encoding the same videos for 3 years, i have the latest nvdia drivers and latest premiere pro and media encoder version (25.1) and since the last update encoding is taking extremly long time, 10x longer. 

my specs:

Windows 11 Pro 64-bit

Intel Core i7 7820X @ 3.60GHz

64 GB ram

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti

ssd's etc...

In addition to what Neil stated, it may be that Premiere Pro 25.1 needs something that the GTX 1080 Ti doesn't have (hardware-support-wise) in order to export at a sufficiently fast speed. And with Nvidia pretty much leaving support for pre-Turing GPUs hung out to dry, it would not be surprising at all that a forthcoming version of Premiere Pro would require hardware Ai support in discrete GPUs just to even render or encode with hardware acceleration; in which instance the 1080 Ti would soon be permanently locked to the software-only rendering and encoding modes.

That seven year old, 8 core CPU doesn't have any hardware bits for long-GOP/H.264/5 encoding and decoding. The 1080Ti does have a goodly amount of vRAM, but the other tech is a bit old also.

 

So for ProRes, it's probably ok, but any long-GOP isn't going to be fast.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...
