Question / Help NVENC H.264 Error, No error on X264 Though

[NobleAbsinthe]

I used to use the NVENC encoder a few patches ago, now it seems to give me the error saying "Starting the output failed. Please check the log for details."

X264 works but I'd like to compare differences if possible.

I included the log and my settings.

I would like to resolve this issue. Youtube didn't help, and browsing the forums I've come to different answers like my video card not being supported, even though a few months ago it was fine. I'm just trying to record some PS4 footage, and that "enable HDCP" is also disabled, so I think I'm doing everything "right."

Looks like your graphiccard is not correct installed? Maybe uninstall the current graphic driver with DDU and install it again

First I would reinstall your GPU drivers like scionbln suggested. If the problem remains then I would see if you have other programs running, as the majority of your RAM looks like its already spoken for, and make sure to close them down. And also, make sure to run the 64 bit version of OBS, so it has better access to the memory, in theory. And I'm just basing this off the out of memory message.
