There is no such thing as "GPU encoding" nowadays.
It's an old term referring to the old days where GPGPU processing used for video encoding.

Nowadays all GPUs from the three major vendors (Intel, nVidia, AMD) contain a fixed-function hardware unit, an ASIC, just for the purpose of video decoding/encoding/pre-post processing.

The quality of H.265 hardware encoding of Turing cards aka Turing specific ASIC for video encoding is more than good enough and its speed is out of this world compared to software encoders.
