Comment (by philipl):

 I can see the artifacts with cuvid in mpv too. It's not a big surprise,
 given the limitations in the nvidia parser. As hleppkes says, you should
 use nvdec. I'm not sure if ffplay supports hwaccels - at least I can't see
 how to activate them.

 I'd recommend using a real media player like mpv if you want to play back
 the file (of course, `ffmpeg` can do hwaccel decoding for transcoding
 purposes, etc).

 `ffmpeg -hwaccel nvdec -hwaccel_output_format cuda <etc>`

 Separately, I don't understand what 420 subsampling in a high444p profile
 file means - the nvidia decoder definitely can't handle actual 444
 subsampling.
