Attaching two logs, the first (11-26) is recording with Nvenc on Geforce 344.60 (I see there's an update to 344.75 available). The bitrate, while set at 25000, was actually fluctuating between 1500-18000 and 12-30 FPS, and wildly at that.
The second log (11-27) is with QuickSync and you can see it isn't riddled with errors, and it did have a solid 25000 bitrate and 29-30 FPS.
Noticed in the changelog for OBS 638b that the last mention of updating Nvenc to the latest API was at 630. Just hoping there's an update in the works to fix Nvenc (and I will be sure not to blindly update Geforce drivers again...)?
When just recording locally it's fine, I just use QuickSync now. But when I want to record locally at 25000 but stream at 3500 with a second OBS instance, that's where things get tricky. I can't let both instances use QuickSync without running the risk of BSOD (had it happen a few weeks ago in the middle of a stream) so I have been recoding locally with Nvenc and streaming with QuickSync. At least until I updated my drivers. I may try QuickSync for local, and x264 for the stream, and hope that despite both being on the CPU they won't conflict since one is hardware encoded and one is software encoded.
