So counterintuitive that nvenc confers worse quality than QSV/x264 variants, but it is both in theory and in my testing as well.

But for multiple streams or speed requirements, nvenc is the only way to fly.

Why's that counterintuitive? It makes intuitive sense to me that an approach optimized for throughput would make trade-offs that are less optimized for quality.
