Question / Help OBS is automatically terminated When I encode with "QuickSync"

[Niko_Kor]

My Com Spec.

CPU: i9-9900K
Mainboard: ASUS Prime Z390-A (Bios Ver. 0802; most recent one)
RAM: 16G
VGA: Geforce RTX 2070

OS: Windows 10 Pro (Most recent version)
OBS (ver. 22.0.2)
UHD 630 (ver. 25.20.100.6471)

All hardware are working well and well updated with most recent driver.
I reinstalled Windows 10 Pro sevral times.
And I made enable iGPU at the BIOS (with 1024 memory). I checked UHD630 was activating on Windows 10.

The problem is...

OBS is automatically terminated When I encode with "QuickSync".
And after that, OBS process on Task Manager(in Win 10) takes over 30% portion of CPU resources.
So I have to force it shut down manually.

I had all hardware driver updated with recent one. and I even updated mainboard BIOS.
What is the problem? Help me please...

First, the most recent Intel drivers are currently bugged, you can't use QuickSync without crashing any application trying to use it.
You need to rollback to a driver prior to Nov 2018

Second, you shouldn't be using QuickSync, especially if you have a 2070. QSV is the worst quality of all the hardware encoders, NVENC is the highest.

Thirdly, GPU 1 is your 2070, GPU 1 is the adapter your monitor main monitor is plugged into, it is the adapter OBS is running on. In your picture there is nothing wrong about the engine or the GPU #, it is not using any GPU because the process is crashed

You should also not be using Re-scale Output unless you intend to Record at a resolution higher than you stream at. If you are not recording, turn off Re-scale output and use the Downscale under Video

I have a similar problem, have tried several different intel drivers, the newest was just released on the 17th. I have tried using quicksync encoder on Handbrake for example and it works, only in OBS it doesn't...

Ok I want to ask you since I know why this person is trying to use QSV as the encoder. What is your recommendation to the problem where game takes 100% of the GPU no matter what you do to limit the % usage in game or by task manager? game takes 100% of the gpu and there is nothing left for obs to run on so I decided to turn on the sleeping integrated gpu on cpu to do the encoding so that way the usage doesn't bother the OBS. BTW I have i7 7700k and gtx 1080
