So far this has given me the best results. I found something on Reddit as well, and the suggestion that I had found could only look good if you had severe cataracts...
Software encoding (Your CPU) will always provide better quality than your GPU, especially if your GPU is older. Sadly it's much slower but beware what you're using to encode (video tab, drop down with the 264, 265, 10bit, etc. stuff. NVENC would be an nvidia GPU)
What bitrate are you using? x265 is the best encoder at the moment for file size efficiency, and it supports HDR, but if your bitrate is in the basement, it won't matter what encoder/wrapper you use. When h264 was the standard, I wouldn't go lower than 8000kbps for HD video.
