Question / Help NVENC YUV444 and lossless

I was wondering if there's a way to enable NVENC YUV444 encoding? I was looking through the nvenc docs and it says it's supported on maxwell GPUs. I don't see any specific options for it in OBS Studio though.

I recently switched away from dxtory and do mostly offline recording. OBS Studio and nvenc are generally great, but I would love to be able to encode YUV444 (lossless or lossy) as YUV420 noticeably softens colours and makes for a poor intermediary format.

Hopefully the native implementation of NVENC in 0.14.0 will allow us to capture losslessly at YUV444.
