Question / Help How do I change the graphics card used by OBS? (Like in Classic)

[Brazen]

In OBS Classic, there was an option to change the display adapter for OBS from your NVIDIA/AMD GPU to your integrated card.

Can I do that in OBS Studio? Is there any possible way?

You should do it through your drivers (eg power saving / performance).

No you can't, why would you want to? Only reason I can think of is in the case of laptops with switchable graphics, but those usually have the option to select it in the drivers.

The reason is because of this thread
https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/intel-quick-sync-is-beautiful-and-the-future-of-streaming.7597/

It stated that changing the preferred display driver to the iGPU gave better performance with x264

I think you're a bit confused. You don't need to set OBS to run on the intel GPU to be able to use quicksync, and quicksync is not x264. It's an entirely separate encoder that you select in Settings -> Output.
