Ever since the crimson driver update this option works for me using the XFX R7 360 , i can actually stream FPS games now, but im considering upgrading my CPU or GPU, ether a 8core or gtx 960 or R9 380, im still deciding
If your PSU is 500W+ then I would take R9 380 over GTX 960 and 4GB model of course.
any help?

I've been trying to get this to work with my old 7750.
My 390 works fine, but I get an "Encoder Initialization Failed!" error when I try my 7750.
While AMD has the 7700 series listed as VCE compatible here.
On the product pages for the 7750 and 7770, VCE is listed as not available.
Anyone manage to get a 7730/7750/7700 to work? Or is the Product pages correct and the VCE Introduction page wrong?
I mean, my 390 works, I'm just trying to re-purpose this 7750.

Yeah that list might not be 100%. Actually the site could be wrong. it lists the 7970 not VCE capable but it is.
EDIT: it also lists the 390 and 390X as not having freesync so the site needs some work. I think they might have redone it recently so no surprise they added the search and compare features.

First thanks jackun for VCE support work nice ! but just a little problem with CBR/VBR
I stream video 720p@60fps ; 5K bitrate, and each 4s with CBR/VBR enable I see a blurred effect appear, this isn't a problem for streaming quality and it disappears with high bitate for local record, but I would like to know if this is normal ?
thanks !
specs : I5 2500K@4,2ghz; 16go DDR3, R9 290, Win10 x64

It is normal. you can set the max QP to 41 and it helps the IDR frame keep quality. Set min QP to 23 if you have bitrate spikes.
I've been tinkering with settings for months, but I just want to get high quality recordings in 60 fps.
My PC specs are enough to handle it for sure:
R9 290x Tri-X
i7 3770 3.40 Ghz
8 gigs 1333 Mhz
I want to record 1080p 60fps, what settings should I use? I can't use high quality preset?

Speed or balanced preset depending on the game.

Can someone please explain to me why I can stream on "monitor capture" and not game capture?
Every time I try and preview/stream a game capture, it just freezes and eventually I have to spam click X on obs to close it.
I managed to get a crash report, but I can only get it if I stream when the game isn't opened, then open it up, and then I click stop preview. Then obs crashes, takes a second to get me my report.
If I preview/stream with my game opened, it never loads my crash report and just hangs.
This crash appears to have occured in the 'c:\windows\system32\kernelbase.dll' module.

Better is the log file from using game capture and please show what game. lastly, try it with regular OBS and see if the same crash occurs.

I'm not sure if this was asked before, but with VCE 3.0 supporting H265, is that going to be a feature in VCE OBS? I'm thinking up some ways I can leverage H265 to improve my outgoing connection before maybe hitting a VPS and transcoding or something.
Also, does VCE support leveraging multiple GPUs? I'm working towards getting an R9 280 for dedicated encoding, but I'm curious if I can go even deeper.

no. HVEC is a license thing. no VCE does not support leveraging multi gpu for encode.
the only multi gpu support is with OBS MP where it allows having mutliple GPUs (SLI/Crossfire) enabled while streaming

Thanks, @dping!
Is the single-GPU encoding thing a driver limitation? I'm slowly pressuring AMD to put more time and effort into VCE for things like this. HEVC requiring licensing is problematic, but if I could use two mini 380s to assist encoding, I imagine I'd have phenomenal quality or something.
I realize this is a significantly simplistic view of things, but it's a conversation I want to start.
Also @jackun, any chance of getting Realtime as a priority option? I have to manually set it when firing up Assassin's Creed Syndicate because the game throttles my CPU to the max upon launch and will otherwise timeout my Twitch upload, disconnecting the stream. (Maybe this has to be in the main branch first?)
