I've done everything correctly. I have a desktop with only 1 GPU selectable. I am running everything as admin, and I added both ZSNES and OBS to my NVidia control panel and chose to use global setting for GPUs..

There's only 1 thing I can think of that are effecting this:

1) ZSNES uses the CPU cores to render games, and OBS is trying to load it on the GPU. But even so, I added ZSNES to my NVidia control panel and chose global setting to utilize my GPU, so I don't understand....

Another problem I have is, I only have 1 encoder option available... Is there a way I could get another option other than x 264? Both the other encoders are greyed out.

Zsnes must be running with either opengl or directx 9+. Otherwise it probably wont' capture with game capture. The other captures might work, though only with borderless/windowed mode.

Not sure about the required conditions for NVenc, your particular nvidia processor may not support it, I think. I believe you may need the 6xx series and up.
