H.265: With nVidia hardware encoder: Select the Main 10 (or Main 10 4:4:4) to get 10 bit delivery.
(4:4:4 being the technical better quality)
Dunno about the AMD options.
That's a bummer. My PC: AMD Ryzen 7 2700x, AMD Radeon VII, 32GB RAM, 1TB 3.5GB/s Samsung 970 Pro + 2TB SATA3 SSD.
So now I have to buy an nVidia card just to have 10-bit? No need for H.265 or H.264 if there is a better solution that preserves the quality and 10-bit. Youtube would destroy the quality anyway but better keep it as high as possible before sending it there.

Do you want to export HDR? For SDR, 8 bit is good enough for delivery. If you want to keep a high-quality master, I would use a format like Cineform or DNxHR anyway (or ProRes on a Mac).
Yes gave it a try and 8-bit will do in the meanwhile. Need to learn a lot on how to color grade and master for 1000-nits HDR then might post something in the future. Tried the Cineform and DNxHR, the make the fine from around 1.43GB to around 67GB! Maybe I've doing something wrong.
