NVENC: Complicated tables are Complicated

Similar sub-columns for H.264 and H.265?

Remove the H.264 attributes that are the same for all NVENC generations?

But then I'm not sure where to put those attributes, or how to concisely say they apply to all listed GPUs except for the obvious exception of those without NVENC encoders. 4096x4096 is always the max resolution, 8-bit / channel is always the max color depth, and b-frames are always supported

Merge differently for non-NVENC and non-H.265 groups?

I like this one because the 'H.265 not supported' merged cell gives you a bit of a column reference when you're scrolled down and looking at the bottom of the list without the actual header rows visible.

Use 'ya' instead of 'yes' for >1 NVENC/chip? H.264 common feature wording?

With later generations being faster, maybe it's silly to highlight the earlier generation 2x and 3xNVENC chips in bolder green? And update wording to make it clearer that none of the NVENC generations support GREATER THAN 4096x4096 or 8-bit color depth
