I have the latest nvidia drivers, just did a fresh windows install, windows 10 fully up to date
Recording through geforce experience is completely fine, just obs.

It definitely does, I've been using this pc to record with nvenc for years
I can record through geforce experience and I'm pretty they only use nvenc,
I also tried to record with sharex with nvenc h.264 and it works there too.
This is an obs issue

Here is something that might help first go to output in your obs then if rescale output is checked uncheck it in my experience with helping others this has fixed their problem, then after you apply that exit out of obs then try it also make sure your obs is still running in administrator hope this help.

Poking through the log...Aha! Here's the problem:
Code: 
[jim-nvenc] init_encoder_h264: nv.nvEncInitializeEncoder(enc->session, &enc->params) failed: 8 (NV_ENC_ERR_INVALID_PARAM): ::NV_ENC_TWO_PASS_FULL_RESOLUTION is only supported multipass encoding on this architecture.
and here's the setting to fix it:

Change it to Two Passes (Full Resolution)

I had the same problem on Linux not too long ago, which is how I know:

OBS 28.0.3 is the latest that works right on my laptop. Newer ones will not use my NVENC encoders.

I had to uninstall the latest OBS STUDIO release, and download the older OBS 28.0.3 Focal release debian package and install it. The newer ones sudenly will not use my NVENC encoders in my NVIDIA GK104GLM [Quadro K4100M]. Yes I know it's and older NVIDIA card, but it's a laptop, so I cannot...

OBS really needs better error messages!
