Hey guys,

I just read about this feature in the latest blog post, and I was wondering what exactly I need to do to get it set up?

I've been doing some reading around and it seems like I need to install some drivers and then set up a virtual display and then just check off the "Use Quick Sync" option under the Advanced Settings.

My question is which drivers do I need and where can I get them?

I have a i5-4670k with a MSI z87-g41 mobo.

Is every mobo guranteed to have the ability to turn on the iGPU, because I believed I turned on a option that would allow me to use the iGPU but OBS still has the option grayed out in the Advanced Settings.

Re: How Do You Enable Intel® Quick Sync Video?

I tried that as well but some things aren't matching up with that tutorial.

First off, after I choose detect under the display drop down it should show Intel HD Graphics, but instead it shows my video card.

This is where I think my mobo is the issue, or I didn't choose the right option in the BIOS.

EDIT: Also, this is what my device manager looks like

Should the yellow arrow be there over the Intel Graphics?

That means something wasn't installed correctly, so it's probably a driver issue at this point. The good news is that if it shows up in Device Manager it likely means the BIOS setup is correct. Anyway try the drivers from your motherboard manufacturer's website, they appear to be newer.

Also, if for some reason you didn't...you should probably install your motherboard's chipset drivers as well.

I did install the chipset drivers when I first got this mobo.

This is a picture of what my mobo settings look like:

I have enabled IGD Multi-Monitor, which also brought up the two new settings above it.

I tried changing the first option to the integrated option but that made it so that the PC would only use the integrated graphics card to boot off of, meaning I got no picture through my GPU, so I changed that back to PEG (PCI-E Graphics).

I am now currently downloading the mobo drivers you linked and will try to see if that enables quick sync.

Okay, so the mobo drivers still did not work.

I still have a yellow arrow in device manager, right clicking and choosing properties shows this:

Some googling brings up this link, the first answer under All Replies states,
This error can occur if two devices that are installed on your computer have been assigned the same I/O ports, the same interrupt, or the same Direct Memory Access channel (either by the BIOS, the operating system, or both). This error message can also appear if the BIOS did not allocate enough resources to the device.
Click to expand...

So I'm thinking again that it's a BIOS issue and that I haven't set my BIOS up correctly, but that may also simply mean that my BIOS is not able to do a iGPU and a dGPU at the same time, because I'm not able to find another option to change that will allow it to do otherwise.

See if changing the Integrated Graphics Share Memory does something; otherwise try to plug in a(nother) monitor into your igpu output, some mainboards seem to disable the igpu if there are no valid outputs (at boot time)

Thanks for the suggestions, I just tried to do both to no avail.

I tried to raise the Share Memory to 256 M and tried and no luck.

Then I tried to hook up a DVI to the integrated video card, and when Windows booted only my main monitor was activated, and the one that I hooked into the DVI port of the integrated video card was not activated.

Also does the fact that I normally have two monitors connected matter? They're connected to my dGPU, my main monitor uses HDMI and the secondary one uses DVI, for what it's worth.

As for now I'm stumped and am going to blame it on my mobo, but I hope someone can prove me wrong!

Re: How Do You Enable Intel® Quick Sync Video?

So I decided to make a thread about this issue on the overclock.net forumsand I was recommended to try and use Lucid Virtu MVP software. Has anyone heard of this? Is this a viable solution?

In my research to try and get QSV working, I could've sworn I ran across a post that read something along the lines of, "Don't bother with that Lucid MVP garbage", that's why I'm hesitant to try it out, also the fact that it isn't free software.

Virtu MVP will likely not work well (if at all) with OBS.

Re: How Do You Enable Intel® Quick Sync Video?

So I just tested disabling the option in my BIOS and I launched into Windows and the Intel HD Graphics 4600 wasn't in the device manager, then I enabled it again in the BIOS and it showed up again in the Device Manager, so I guess that it's not a BIOS/mobo issue as I had first shoved it off to be.

The problem must lie somewhere with the drivers...hm.

I'm going to try to uninstall/delete the drivers, disable the option in BIOS, and then start everything from scratch (i.e. turn on the option and then install the drivers again).

I'm not sure if it was relevant, but I thought I'd update this to see if it would change anything.

I'm not using the installed version of OBS, I'm using the binaries, meaning I just launch it by double clicking OBS.exe.

In the binaries you get two different folders, I'm using the 64-bit one.

Does any of that change anything regarding my situation?

It should have no effect. I've always used the 64-bit build when using the QSV encoder. I wish I had a real answer for you =/

Will Quick Sync will handle all the stream encoding and free up the regular CPU?

Hi, All!

I've got the same question as my upstairs neighboor.

I've got a Intel i5 2500k wich seems to have an Intel HD3000 graphic chipset. My Motherboard is a P67 Pro from Asrock.

I don't have a video Output on my motherboard, and it seem's that there is no option either in my Bios... Is it possible that it don't have the option to activate Igpu?

On the other hand, i've been trying encoding once with my CPU, and then with Nvidia "Nsenc" (can't remenber the name exactly), it seems that quality is better with my CPU than with my GPU (GTX770). And the amount of CPU used seems to be nearly the same watever i use oO.

So the question is will i have better encoding if i could use QuickSync?

Another question is should i use the 64 version of OBS to have better result (as i'm actually using the 32bit version, for good reason, i haven't check since but earlier i wasn't able to use my Avermedia Game Capture with the 64bit version).

And one last question, sorry for the tons of questions, what CFR is used for? Should it be checked or not?

Thx a lot for your answers, and sorry for my English.

Please next time just start your own thread instead of necroing an old one.

On the Mainboard you have you will very certainly not be able to use QuickSync.

CPU encoding currently in most cases will generate the best quality. But CPU usage should be significantly lower if you used NVENC.

There is no real reason to use the 64bit version and as you experienced, CaptureCards and Webcams need to offer 64bit drivers to work.

Constant Frame Rate is pretty useful for recordings and later editing, for streaming you can turn it off, but I normally just leave it always on.

Thanks Jackor,

sorry for necroing on old post, i thought it was better to dig an old post than to double the same question. For a good reason i found this post via Google wich means lots of people searching for the same thing will find it first.

Anyway thanks again for your answers!
