I've been at this for hours and hours. Forum to forum. I tried 2 different compile guides for OBS and FFmpeg. The official ones and one posted by some guy with a rules script. I reinstalled my Nvidia driver. I copied the Video SDK to /usr/local/include. What could I possibly be missing? FFmpeg shows it has nvenc. It did from the very beginning. Is this Nvidia's fault again? Their drivers are 'driving' me crazy now.
So that's the story. I have a Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB card and the NVENC option in OBS doesn't appear. Here are my specs.

I've recompiled and reinstalled FFMPEG to support all the NVENC H.264 codecs, and it seems to work via terminal. though I cannot get OBS to compile from source.
