You hardly need "maximum quality"; even the (reasonable) faster settings beat the crappy CUDA encoder easily quality-wise, as has been tested dozens of time before with exactly this encoder.
Of course, it doesn't help that he even
turned off subpixel motion vectors though... his settings are completely ridiculous.

Yes, and he posted it in a very official-looking fashion despite the entire thing being done in a completely idiotic and haphazard manner.
I mean seriously:
1. Pick a GPU that's more costly and faster than the CPU.
2. Go out of the way to pick the worst possible settings for x264 (literally!)
3. Use two different decoders to feed the different encoders.
4. Show how the GPU encoder looks so much better than x264.
I'm not going to bother with this anymore as it's clear that this guy is here solely to try to advertise crappy encoders by performing intentionally bad tests.
