Nvidia preset：

Have you tried different presets? i.e. -c:v nvenc -preset llhq. Presets are
hq = high quality (I think libnvenc uses this)
hp = high performance
bd = Bluray Disk
ll = low latency
llhq = low latency high quality
llhp = low latency high performance
default = between llhq and llhp, I suppose it's same as ll

FFmpeg X264的preset和tune

鉴于x264的参数众多，各种参数的配合复杂，为了使用者方便，x264建议如无特别需要可使用preset和tune设置。这套开发者推荐的参数较为合理，可在此基础上在调整一些具体参数以符合自己需要，手动设定的参数会覆盖preset和tune里的参数。 

 --preset的参数主要调节编码速度和质量的平衡，有ultrafast、superfast、veryfast、faster、fast、medium、slow、slower、veryslow、placebo这10个选项，从快到慢。 

Nvidia编码对应preset选项有：hq, hp, bd, ll, llhq, llhp, default

 --tune的参数主要配合视频类型和视觉优化的参数，或特别的情况。如果视频的内容符合其中一个可用的调整值又或者有其中需要，则可以使用此选项，否则建议不使用（如tune grain是为高比特率的编码而设计的）。

tune的值有： film：  电影、真人类型； 

animation：  动画； 

grain：      需要保留大量的grain时用； 

stillimage：  静态图像编码时使用； 

psnr：      为提高psnr做了优化的参数； 

ssim：      为提高ssim做了优化的参数； 

fastdecode： 可以快速解码的参数； 

zerolatency：零延迟，用在需要非常低的延迟的情况下，比如电视电话会议的编码。
