Hybrid disables options when they are not supported by the graphic card and driver combination (check 'NVEncC --check-features') or when another option is in conflict with them. For me GeForce GTX 980ti for example, I too can't use those options when encoding to H.265, but I can when encoding to H.264.
Here's the output I get from check-features:
+ calling just 'NVEncC' gives me:
important part is the second one:
=> Similar outputs on your system should explain why Hybrid acts the way it does.
