What feeling is that? Faster, higher quality, just more efficient?

I don't think this is a working command line.
- "-c:a -c:v hevc_nvenc" is missing something.
- "-pass 2" is for multipass encoding, right? Does that make sense with UDP to
  UDP encoding?

I don't know anything about cuvid on nvenc usage, so I can't actually
help you with that. ;)

(I also recommend chacking out presets before manually tweaking
parameters, unless you already know what you want to achieve.)
