Question / Help Ever since my computer updated and added an AMD Graphics card that wasnt being used, I cant use OBS

[Rogve]

Hello, recently my computer installed and updated a driver for an AMD Radeon R9 M275x Graphics card that wasn't being used on a Lenovo Y40-70 laptop. I'm using it as a streaming PC and before i could use x264 and Quicksync with no issues until this thing installed. Some people said it was good, but i have had nothing but problems and i cannot seem to fix it. When i boot up OBS, the preview is constantly flickering and cannot get to 60FPS like it could before. I installed the latest drivers to see if that fixed it and it didn't. i even went to another forum post and downloaded AMD encoder file for OBS studio with no luck. nothing works and its getting frustrating. Most cases, OBS cannot even broadcast. When I hit the Start Streaming button, it either takes forever to stream (flickering included) or just immediately crash.. Please help!

Also noticed this just happens with OBS and nothing else. Elgato Gamecapture works. I dont have Xsplit to see if a problem shows there. And here is a link to the stream recording to show you guys what this nightmare actually looks like :/

Run OBS on your GPU, not on integrated graphics.

@EBrito that's the issue. The GPU is the AMD Radeon and I get nothing but that stuttering nightmare.

With Nvidia cards, through thier control panel, you make OBS run on it.
AMD Cards should have same option via their control panel,

The AMD control panel had absolutely nothing like that. Lol

Try to ask @Xaymar at this thread: https://obsproject.com/forum/thread...ramework-encoder-plugin-for-obs-studio.52305/ (and don't forget to follow the trouble shooting guide)

 

[Xaymar]

If you wish to have OBS Studio run on the integrated GPU instead of the more powerful dedicated GPU (for whatever reason), you can do so in the Radeon Additional Settings: https://community.amd.com/docs/DOC-1581

Keep in mind that this may have a negative impact on your experience:

• AMD Hardware Encoding may no longer work correctly.
• OpenCL support may no longer work correctly due to Intels runtime being broken (affects x264 opencl and AMD Hardware Encoding).
• Game Capture may have to fall back to memory capture instead of shared texture capture if the game is running on the dedicated gpu.
