Question / Help New update & NVENC

[Iamtazy]

Hey,
I've just updated OBS to 0.631b and when trying to use NVENC, the "encoder initialization failed" error occures.
I know OBS had the same problems in the past with the Nvidia drivers not going along with OBS' version and what not.
My question is if it's again something with the new update or is it on my end?!

The problems I've seen on the forums so far have been a result of people using the new presets. The new presets available in OBS for NVEnc are only for those people who have a Maxwell-based GPU. Only the GTX750 and 750 Ti are Maxwell at this time, the rest are Kepler (even the Titans and 780 Ti) and reportedly won't work with the new presets.

The other problem I've seen is that OBS might now require a newer Nvidia driver for NVEnc encoding. I don't think I'm on the absolute latest on my encoder box yet and it works for me. Just update to the latest or next to latest and this shouldn't be a problem.
