Not to mention that you're running it in 6 threads which just consumes GPU memory and probably slows it down even further.
Correct. Sometimes filters need to be stacked to be useful. Doing so makes them unusable. Been there, done that. But time changes that, and eventually stacking is negligible. Been there, done that too.

I deal with videos that others consider impossible. But sometimes "impossible" is merely a temporary state.

Since I'd rarely use the card's GPU, yes. The CPU isn't running 100% 24/7/365, as I'm not encoding constantly. But a video card would be on 24/7/365, thus heat and noise, neither of which are needed or wanted.
