Re: OBS 0.52.03 toast build - quicksync

Interestingly enough, I went through all the bells and whistles of getting my PC setup for the QSV support. [Bios settingsc, driver install and application installation of Virtu MVP] I go to test the stream, see the logs and it says QSV failed. I know it is functioning, as Virtu MVP shows on and when the game launches it shows the logo as I set it.

Only reason I even enabled the iGPU and installed Virtu MVP etc was for this test lol o well :D [Tested with both 32 bit and x64] Maximus V Gene MB.

You dont need Virtu, there is a how to linked on the second or third page of this topic.

Re: OBS 0.52.03 toast build - quicksync

Indeed, you dont need Virtu installed at all.
You just need to enable the iGPU in the BIOS and install the Intel graphics drivers.
I run a Gene IV so it should work for you no problem.

The key to getting this to work however is that the GPU "MUST" be active in windows.
I.E. It must be rendering a desktop.
You can either connect the HDMI out on your motherboard to a second screen (I use the iGPU to drive my side screen that I have OBS and my other crap on while streaming) or you can trick the iGPU.

To trick it, you need to goto screen resolution and hit detect.
You should then get a disconnected display appear.
Click it and then select "try to connect anyway: VGA"
Once enabled you then need to extend your screen onto this display.

Re: OBS 0.52.03 toast build - quicksync

Can''t get QSV to work. I guess it has something to do with the need to run OBS with the Nvidia GPU or else I only get a black screen while capturing LoL through game capture. Is there a solution for this. I have included two log files. One with iGPU selected and one with Nvidia GPU.

Re: OBS 0.52.03 toast build - quicksync

I've been looking all day. How do i enable quick sync for a "intel i5-2500k" with a "nvidia GTX 460". cheers!

Re: OBS 0.52.03 toast build - quicksync

What kind of motherboard do you have? Does your motherboard have a built-in monitor connection, and you have a Sandy Bridge or later CPU? If so, then it probably supports quick sync.

P67 boards do not support the iGPU on Sandy/Ivy Bridge CPUs. So, you can't use QuickSync.

Need a Z68 board or later, because Intel stupidly decided to release things early instead of wait for the combined platform.

Re: OBS 0.52.03 toast build - quicksync

Thanks for the help! (saved me hours) Is't worth getting a Z68 board or waste of money? Recommend any of the Z68 boards if so?

Re: OBS 0.52.03 toast build - quicksync

With Haswell coming out soon, I personally don't see a point in replacing your motherboard just to get iGPU support. 'Course, Z68 boards are kinda out of production now and only a few can be found new, though not at the low price levels P67 boards are.

I'd personally wait for Haswell (and reviews) then jump ship, but that's about a $500+ investment vs $100ish. Not everyone's got the money to upgrade to a new platform when their current one still is quite strong.

If you have no plans to get Haswell and want to wait it out until the next generation, then sure, I guess you can pick up a Z68 board.

I stick with ASUS boards (Pro, Evo, Deluxe), but MSI/Gigabyte are fine too if you stay above low end. Your current GD55 is a mid-range board, so no harm in getting a similar level one to save a few bucks afaik (moreso if you don't overclock).


Edit: Haswell is out. Has some pretty good improvements for video encoding.. but otherwise it's extremely lackluster. Almost no point to switch if already on Ivy Bridge like I am. What a damn shame.

Well, here's hoping the seemingly delayed IB-E isn't a letdown. Rather have Haswell-E, but Intel works in pretty dumb ways.

Where is AMD when you need them? *sigh*

On the bright side, Haswell will hopefully improve Quick Sync quality, especially compared to Sandy Bridge.

Re: OBS 0.52.03 toast build - quicksync

That would be very intresting to see of there are major quality gains to be had.
I'd certernly consider jumping ship from my 2600K to a Haswell in that case.

If memory serves, there are no quality gains at all, only deficits. Last time I looked into quicksync encoding, it was on par with gpu encoders in terms of quality. It'd be interesting to see how Haswell could improve on that.

Re: OBS 0.52.03 toast build - quicksync

Well, Haswell is out.

Currently waiting to see what QuickSync improvements there are, if any.

Other than that, the damn thing is quite a big letdown. Very little improvement in many areas; the only places where it really improves is the iGPU (which no one should be using for gaming anyway) and some video encoding, namely x264.

Regardless of the video encoding improvements, I don't see a reason to pay for the switch unless you're someone who really needs the extra performance. Just a complete waste of money if you're already on IB.

Guess there's always IB-E or Haswell-E, right? *sigh*
