Hi and thanks for the help in advance.
Basically as the title says, I have hardware encoding selected, VBR 1 Pass (using the YouTube 1080p Full HD preset)
I have a Ryzen 2700x and a GTX 1070 which supports NVENC encoding but whenever I try to render, it doesn't use my GPU.

make sure you have the latest driver for your graphics card. And I think (but do not know which has never stopped me before) that not all effects can take advantage of hardware encoding.

I do have latest drivers, they're the NVIDIA game ready ones, maybe I should try with the studio ones? I've scoured the internet for answers, but all I've seen is a small number of other users with the same problem but no solution, users with more powerful cards like a rtx 2060.
Premire is up to date, I think Windows is too but I don't see how that would affect it. I really don't know why it doesn't work, some parts of my video have nothing but cuts and still, no GPU usage what so ever.

As mg said, no all things use the GPU. There are some effects, Lumetri and Warp Stabilizer that do use it. Also, scaling down, say from UHD to HD, you'll see a nice bump, but otherwise, it uses when it can and needs it. Here's a shot of my taskmanager running hard creating 720p Cineform proxies from UHD.
