If you have ideas of how to improve, feel free to post a comment! But please read the other comments before you do. And if I do some minor adjustments I'll post them here below. I've tried so many settings and I don't know how many test videos I've encoded.
With the current settings I have a good baseline for my games, but I can easily raise the encoding quality (to 18 or even 16) for any game that seems to require it.
Note that I never claimed to be an expert, but I tried to understand the settings instead of just copying some random settings that people claim to be the best.
