How to modify parameters of NvEncoding ?
Please give an example.
Thanks!

Have you looked into the code of AppEncCUDA? Most likely this is happening because you are specifying max bitrate much smaller than average bitrate.

Also, if you want to specify CQ, use VBR. Do not set rcmode to CBR.

Please read through the documentation and sample applications included in the SDK.
