Benchmarking NVENC video transcoding on the Pi

Now that Nvidia GPUs run on the Raspberry Pi, I've been putting all the ones I own through their paces.

Many people have an older Nvidia card (like a 3060) laying around from an upgrade. So could a Pi be suitable for GPU-accelerated video transcoding, either standalone for conversion, or running something like Jellyfin for video library management and streaming?

That's what I set out to do, and the first step, besides getting the drivers and CUDA going (see blog post linked above), was to find a way to get a repeatable benchmark going.
