The encoder seems to be trading blows with hevc_nvenc. In terms of quality at low bitrate cbr settings, it seems to outperform it even. It produces fewer artifacts and the ones it does produce are less jarring to my perception. At higher bitrates I had a hard time finding differences between the two encoders in terms of subjective visual quality. Using the 'slow' preset, av1_nvenc outperformed hevc_nvenc in terms of encoding speed by 75% to 100% while performing above tests. Needless to say, it always massively outperformed h264_nvenc in terms of quality for a given bitrate, while also being slightly faster.
FFmpeg README
FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.
Libraries
