Question / Help Game Capture Black Screening

kerrigaan · Jul 12, 2014

Hiya,
Having this issue for a few days now - can't seem to capture my game no matter what I have done. I apparently have two video adapters NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 and Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600. I have tried to game capture from both and nothing works. I want to run my computer only with NVIDIA but when I disable my Intel one, things get borked up (my displays stop working).

As far as I know, all drivers are updated too.

Any clue?

I know you don't have a laptop, but you need to do what this thread is saying: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/laptop-black-screen-when-capturing-read-here-first.5965/

You don't need to disable your Intel GPU, just run OBS on the nVidia.

Hiya,
This is where I encounter something truly annoying now. I don't actually see those two options provided in that thread (I already read that thread before opening this one):

TLDR for nvidia laptops

Click to expand...

Go to the nvidia control panel in windows control panel, and go to 3D settings on the left. Then, on the right pane, add the OBS.exe path to the drop-down list, and select it to use the nvidia ("performance") adapter.

Or alternatively, here's a bit easier step-by-step:
Nvidia's control panel -> 3D settings on the left -> Global tab on the right -> Click the drop-down box below that, select the nvidia -> Click Apply and OK -> Restart OBS and game.

See:

And:

So yeah I am not sure what to do. :S
