Ideal NVENC Encoding Settings?

Hi all, I've inherited an RTX 2060 that I've hoped to use for Immich. Most of my videos are 1080P 50fps. I figured I'd bump the CRF a bit and set preset to slow Despite this, my videos are shocking quality😬 What are other NVENC users using for their video transcode settings? My video settings pasted below:

{
  "ffmpeg": {
    "crf": 23,
    "threads": 0,
    "preset": "slow",
    "targetVideoCodec": "hevc",
    "acceptedVideoCodecs": [
      "hevc"
    ],
    "targetAudioCodec": "aac",
    "acceptedAudioCodecs": [
      "aac",
      "mp3",
      "libopus"
    ],
    "acceptedContainers": [
      "mov",
      "ogg",
      "webm"
    ],
    "targetResolution": "1080",
    "maxBitrate": "8000",
    "bframes": -1,
    "refs": 0,
    "gopSize": 0,
    "npl": 0,
    "temporalAQ": true,
    "cqMode": "auto",
    "twoPass": true,
    "preferredHwDevice": "auto",
    "transcode": "bitrate",
    "tonemap": "hable",
    "accel": "nvenc",
    "accelDecode": true
  },

{
  "ffmpeg": {
    "crf": 23,
    "threads": 0,
    "preset": "slow",
    "targetVideoCodec": "hevc",
    "acceptedVideoCodecs": [
      "hevc"
    ],
    "targetAudioCodec": "aac",
    "acceptedAudioCodecs": [
      "aac",
      "mp3",
      "libopus"
    ],
    "acceptedContainers": [
      "mov",
      "ogg",
      "webm"
    ],
    "targetResolution": "1080",
    "maxBitrate": "8000",
    "bframes": -1,
    "refs": 0,
    "gopSize": 0,
    "npl": 0,
    "temporalAQ": true,
    "cqMode": "auto",
    "twoPass": true,
    "preferredHwDevice": "auto",
    "transcode": "bitrate",
    "tonemap": "hable",
    "accel": "nvenc",
    "accelDecode": true
  },
