 Attempting to use hevc_nvenc codec results in 'No NVENC capable devices
 found'.

 This is mentioned on https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/HWAccelIntro as being
 resolvable by:


 {{{
 Note: If you get the No NVENC capable devices found error make sure you're
 encoding to a supported pixel format. See encoder info as shown above.
 }}}

 However the problem occurs with all pixel formats and all variants
 (h264_nvenc too, e.g.). The driver version hits the minimum requirement
 for nvenc mentioned in various documents on the Internet.

 How to reproduce:
 {{{
 % ffmpeg -i in/Foreman_ProRes.mov -c:v hevc_nvenc -profile main
 -pixel_format yuv420p -preset default out/output.mp4 -v 56

 [...]
