Hello,

Using Streamlabs OBS, NVENC new encorder is showing is working flawlessly.

But using the vanilla OBS Studio 24.0.3 (latest version on time of post), despite my best effort, it just wont show up.

Streaming PC
Ryzen 7 2700x
x470 Gigabyte
Zotac 1080Ti

Any help please? Streamlabs OBS is way too heavy to use even on a dedicated streaming PC, and Streaming without the new codec would be a huge loss of quality.

Nevermind.....
In case anyone is there, You need to switch the Output mode from Simple to Advanced for it to show up.

For some reason, the developers decided to play hide&seek with this feature.

In simple mode, it's just called nvenc, but OBS actually first tries the new variant, then falls back to plain nvenc. Simple mode is simple configuration mode, not simple operating mode.
So don't hesitate to use simple mode. In the logfile, after you did some recording or stream, you can verify what nvenc variant was actually used.

But how would it know which one to go for?
Initial tests using plain 'NVENC' in simple mode were considerably jankier than going to Advanced and NVENC new.

If you see an entry like this in the log, it's nvenc (new) for the following recording or streaming session:
15:20:15.183: [jim-nvenc: 'recording_h264'] settings:
Relevant is the string "jim-nvenc".

If you see an entry like this, it's the old nvenc:
15:22:43.488: [NVENC encoder: 'recording_h264'] settings:
Relevant is the string "NVENC encoder".
