16 B-Frames and 6 "Ref frames" should be set too (maybe only 5 "Ref frames" for 4K resolution or higher, to keep GPU-decoding compatibility).
Do you have any data showing 16 b-frames as being helpful? In past HW encoders, too many could actually make things worse if the I/P/B frame type decision logic wasn't great.
