Question / Help NVENC best record settings

Hello,

As of the newer 0.12.0 version windows 10 users now have the hability to record using NVENC encoder, and that makes me very excited because I have a powerfull GTX 970 and will be able unload my CPU. (I record modded Minecraft that is a bit CPU intense).

I like to make high quality videos, and on regular OBS I had issues using NVENC, the only presset that gave me decent quality and a bigger file was "lossless", but that had a high 4:4:4 container or something like that and my editing software was not happy about it.

So now I want to try the new feature here, but I don't have the knowledge to tweak the settings as well as I would like to, so if you guys could help. I don't care so much about file size, but the video doesn't have to be lossles. So in this settings window is there anything I should change other than tweaking bitrate for video resolution? Setting Buffer Size to zero has no effect here like I've been told to do on x264 right?

TL;DR: Help me setup NVENC record settings.

Thanks in advance.

I use:

Profile: Main
Key int: 2 (this was default)
Rate Control: CBR
Bitrate: 50000
Both boxes below unchecked.

Seems to be working pretty well. Haven't noticed any issues yet doing 1080p60.
