Of course, it's the one from your i5 CPU, look for the Intel® HD Graphics 530 on your PC and on Intel's site.

I cant stream at 1080p@60fps with presset on quality with AMD rx580 8gb is it normal? or im doing something wrong? it overloads and looks choppy, if this is normal now my question is whats gives more quality? 720p@quality presset? or 1080p with balanced presset? also i noticed that for example 3k bitrate with AMF looks worse than 3k with CPU encoding, but it gets better with 5-6k bitrate, my other question is what is a good bitrate between image quality and low internet speed of viewers? im currently using 6k which is the max for twitch, should i keep it?

I have bouht an new laptop for streaming church services with OBS. These are the specs:
Dell Inspiron 13 5000 Series - 5370
8th Generation Intel Core i7 Processor Label
AMD Radeon 530 Graphics with 2G GDDR5 graphics memory

This GPU is listed here: https://www.amd.com/en/products/graphics/radeon-530
It supports Video Code Engine (VCE)

My question is: Is this plugin mandatory to use because of mu AMD GPU? Or will I be able to just select this GPU in the encoder without using this plugin?

I choose a laptop with a dedicated GPU so OBS can run smoothly. I stream the projected screen @ 1280x720 30fps. Nothing fancy, bitrate of 1mbit is enough.

Edit: I just read that this plugin is included in OBS Studio: I will install OBS Studio and find out if the AMD GPU can be used 'out of the box' for encoding.

Hello I am trying to stream on amd 2200g. I can select AMD hardware encoder but when i start streaming encoder will fail to stream and the only option left is software encoder. Is my apu supported for streaming using amf?

I'm having a bit of an issue when trying to record or stream while using the plug-in. I just upgraded my motherboard from am h110m to a z270 series.

CPU: i5-6600k @ 4.5 GHz
GPU: RX480
Mobo: ASrock Fatal1ty Z270 Gaming-ITX/ac

Whenever I press record or stream it immediately crashes, saves a crash report, and OBS then refuses to close even when attempting to close via task manager. I didn't have this issue before with the older motherboard, but I've reinstalled windows since then so I imagine that there has been something that I've changed or forgot somewhere. Any ideas?

Nevermind! I did a clean install of the AMD drivers and now it works flawlessly again. Sorry for the bother, haha.

Ok figured out a problem when using the plugin. Whenever I try to record/stream any video in 720p (scaled down from 1080p through video and output tab) I get an error. Stream and recording works just fine when selecting 1080p as output resolution. Can anyone help me with that? I cant stream at 1080p, its impossible with my Bitrate.

I'm on a Radeon R7 240, and it looks like it's just baaaaaarely behind the supported cards, I really can't afford shilling out a hundo big ones for a new card, so it'd be really cool if you were to add support for this little thing.

@TheGamerGuy500 , the VCE is not included in your model of the video card.
(look for R7 200 Series Specs table)
https://www.amd.com/en-us/products/graphics/desktop/r7

More over,
https://github.com/obsproject/obs-amd-encoder/wiki/hardware-support#other-information said:
The plugin requires that your AMD GPU or APU has support for the Video Coding Engine (at least Version 1.0) in addition to always requiring the latest (not the recommended) driver...

plugin just uses all that available in your PC. Obviously, there is nothing it can add itself.

i have a problem where OBS doesnt let me record on any other encoder/settings except when its on lossless resulting in extremely large file size.

i created a thread in general section but i was told to post here .


i am getting - an unspecified error while recording error

my gfx drivers are latest
i uninstalled /reinstalled obs
changed my recording path
still stuck with this error

i have tried all the possible combination of video recording settings + encoders but it still doesnt let me record except when i keep the recording quality to lossless resulting in file size of 100s gb

here is a pastbin link of my log : https://pastebin.com/UVTjLh1U

please help

then why does it work when its on lossless quality ?
i can record on lossless quality just fine but it doesnt let me record using any other encoder. throws this unspecified error .

Xaymar updated AMD Advanced Media Framework Encoder Plugin for OBS Studio with a new update entry:

2.5.1 - Support for Driver 19.x on AMD Vega

The 19.x Driver started enforcing additional restrictions, which seem to only apply to AMD Vega GPUs and APUs. Due to this, the plugin would fail to properly initialize the encoder and users would have to manually set some options.
With this patch, this is no longer necessary. The encoder options are now applied correctly and should no longer cause any issues. Additionally a bug was fixed for Automatic Profile Level which caused it to occasionally select an unsupported Profile Level...

The above release fixes the issues with Ryzen # xxxxG APUs that have an integrated Vega GPU. Please try that version @Anilabha .

FLV does not support H265, use another container like Matroska/MKV.
