OBS is not detecting nvidia driver properly. <SOLVED>

Post by TCperry »

I am trying to record some videos with OBS (the version from the software manager) and I got this error. "Starting the output failed. Please check the log for details. Note: If you are using the NVENC or AMD encoders, make sure your video drivers are up to date." I am using the latest drivers as of this post (495.44) but I have tried the recommended driver as well. Is there any way to fix this? I've tried searching for an answer but I found nothing.

Thanks for the link. Upon searching through the results of that search I found out the GT line of graphics cards do not support NVENC. Thanks for the help. I'll have to wait until the gtx cards come down in price.
