NVENC not working with Quadro K5000

[Steo83]

Hello,
this is my first time trying to make OBS working for recording videos from a webcam on a new pc.

PC Specs:

CPU Intel Xeon 2.6Ghz​

NVIDIA Quadro K5000​

32GB ram​

SSD 500GB​

​

My CG drivers are updated and, for what i learned from Google, the card should support NVENC even if it's one of the first models to do so. But still receiving error messages from OBS saying the drivers are not update and i can't use the NVENC because of that.

This means i can't update the drivers as OBS suggests to do.

Any idea?

The Quadro K5000 is too old. It's latest driver (version 473 as far as I remember) is older than required by the current version of OBS (actually by the ffmpeg libraries OBS uses for accessing the NVENC encoder), which is some version higher than 500.

Thank you very much for the clarification. How can i set the best OBS configuration based on my hardware? Is there any guide or tool that allows newbies to clarify that?

My idea was to use OBS to record videoclips from my webcam (Logitech BRIO 4k) at 4K. I can accept to reduce at 1080 if i can get a good configuration. Untill now, the OBS preview of my camera looks much Better than any clip i created. All codecs or file format seems to reduce quality too much. I got Better results by recording videos from my camera using a Logitech software...
