In case it got mistaken...

The following is what gives the 100 fp/s (with a GTX 960):
$ ffmpeg -f x11grab -framerate 200 -s hd1080 -i :0.0 -c:v hevc_nvenc -y test.mkv

The mentioned 100 fp/s refers to the HEVS/H.265 hardware encoder (nvenc). 
X11grab is here only the input device.

Without the encoder does it give me 160 fp/s:
$ ffmpeg -f x11grab -s hd1080 -framerate 500 -i :0.0 -f null -

Different sizes then give different results:

- For hd720 is it 200 fp/s (with nvenc) and 420 fp/s (without nvenc).
- For hd480 is it 460 fp/s (with nvenc) and 890 fp/s (without nvenc).

Can you compare gstreamer to those numbers?

Is anyone also capable of running this in a true 4K display with a Pascal card? 
There the speed matters the most.
