Explain what this do - Render settings

I have my own custom settings, but sometimes I have no clue what this really means/do to my videos.

I wanna know more about Profiles, Number of Reference Frame + Use Deblocking filter, Two Pass (for VBR), number of slices, Presets (Got few options to pick) & RC Mode.

Some of these mixture of settings affect my rendering speed & quality.

Is profiles (base, main & high) pretty much how much my computer gonna "work" for the rendering?

@alifftudm95 Profiles generally relates to how much hardware support is presumed in encoding and required for playback... baseline=none while high=the most. The rest are implementation specific. Reference frames and Deblocking are MainConcept specific tweaks grayed out for Nvenc. Two-pass tries to optimize for a smaller file size. The rest pertain to various gradations in quality. Try them out and use the ones that look best to you... if I can't see the difference or they take too long, I stick with the defaults.

Thank you for the explanation!
