Some details, if anyone cares (tested with 1080p)

On an idle system, performance of d3d11 decode,  hwdownload, nvenc is
largely similar to a d3d11 -> nvenc direct connection, however once
the GPU is busy (I was testing with a 3D rendering going on last
night), hwdownload quickly degrades in performance, while the direct
connection didn't suffer at all.
Additionally, a sharp drop in CPU usage can also be observed.

In case anyone is interested, I plan on working on a D3D11 VPP filter
in the future to allow scaling and deinterlacing in this particular
workflow, using D3D11 Video Processor APIs.
