Hi there guys can someone suggest good video converters that support Nvidia Nvenc?

Thanks but I am looking for converter.

Nvenc is pretty shit (from my experience) even on whatever the highest quality option it offers. Its only real strong point is its relatively low overhead with capturing stuff in realtime (e.g. OBS) and even then if you have a decent enough CPU you may just be better off using x264 in that case. Quick Sync (if available) should be much better than Nvenc at least on haswell or newer.

Handbrake[1] is probably the easiest to use and offers x264 and Quick Sync (among others (different formats), but not nvenc). Aside from the reason above (capturing, which you already said you weren't doing) I can't think of a compelling reason to use Nvenc. If you did actually want to capture stuff with nvenc then OBS[2] is probably what you want to look into.

Yes, That's what MrI pointed out above. It seems NVENC does not work with GeForce GTX (gaming) graphics cards.
Quadro or Tesla gpu's are required.

"it‘s support in official documents"

CUDA, yes. GeForce, no. Apparently there's more to the requirements than CUDA.

There is also a special developers forum which may be helpful -

But video converters only use cuda, far as I know.

They're probably not very good either. As I said the only compelling reason to use nvenc is if you need the low latency and minimal overhead it provides (which would basically mean screen capture) and OBS[1] lists NVENC as an option if you want to use it. That being said my minimal experience with it is that it was shit and should be avoided.
