Not choosing the correct GPU

My PC has two GPUs, one is integrated with the mainboard and the other a RTX 5070 TI. When exporting videos from the recordings, steam always uses the integrated GPU instead of the faster 5070 Ti. If I disable the integrated GPU, then video exports all fail with error "Try again (2)." even if I turn off "Enable GPU hardware encoding" in the settings. It looks like a bug.
Please fix. Thanks.

Steam Beta Branch: Stable Client

Steam Client Build Date: Fri, Jun 27 7:07 PM UTC -08:00
Steam Web Build Date: Tue, Jul 1 2:19 PM UTC -08:00
Steam API Version: SteamClient022

Platform: Windows 11
GPU0: Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti
GPU1: AMD Radeon (Integrated)
What game you were playing: None. Games already exited. Just exporting.
Any other game recording software you are also using: No
The sequence of what happened and what you observed: Find a clip, click "Share" -> "Export Video File". Observing the GPU1 is in use instead of GPU0. If I disable GPU1, the export fails.

See https://v1.steam.hlxgame.cc/groups/SteamClientBeta/discussions/5/600769423993752534/

Seems to be an going problem with the RTX 50 series where the new encoder is not being utilised correctly. I have a 5090 and 3080Ti installed, and I can only use the 3080Ti for encoding, if I try to force 5090 or turn off the 3080Ti, then I get the same error as the thread.

I've not seen any acknowledgement so far that this issue is being worked on, but hopefully it's on someone's radar.

I just sold my 3080 Ti
