using an external video card encoder for quest link

hello everyone, in general, the problem is that about a month ago I tried to connect my oculus quest 1 to a PC via quest link, but in the end I only got 3 flickering dots, later I found a topic on some forum that the RX6500XT (I just have this video card) there is no hardware encoder and because of this, quest cannot connect to my PC! I thought about the fact that there are external video capture cards, it has an HDMI input, an HDMI output, I can just connect a video capture card through my PC back panel, what do you think about this, maybe it will work? I also thought that quest link would look for an encoder in my video card, is there any way to switch the use of the video card encoder to an external one that I will buy? (sorry, I'm writing from Google translator, there may be errors)

No, sorry. It's just not going to work. You need to replace your GPU with one that has a hardware video encoder. For minimum pain, get a Nvidia card over AMD.
