Cheers man! I did see that thread last night but must not have read it properly. How do I set my GPU on OBS? failing that how do I enable compatibility mode?

The Nvidia control panel should let you set OBS to use your either your Nvidia card (to capture games on it) or to your integrated GPU (to capture the screen).

It is in the first paragraph of the link, in red text.
