The only thing that is not set to default is that your source and export is interlaced. Maybe you could try export a non interlaced source file just to be sure it's not the interlacing.
EUREKA!!!! Encoding a progressive sequence did work!
Now I wonder why would be that? I could encode those interlaced projects with the GTX 970 before, just finished such a project one month ago
