OBS refuses to use AMD h.264 encoder

[cowkiee]

I have a laptop with ryzen 7535s with rx 6550m, and I've already updated all my drivers, but obs wont let me use the h264 encoder. using the x264 sucks, so i would prefer if I could use the hardware encoder instead. here's the log file, I notice this popping up always:
[texture-amf-h264] amf_avc_create_texencode: Wrong adapter
anybody know the fix to this? I have the log file attached

Not sure if this is the fix but make sure OBS is running on the High Performance GPU:
Open Settings and search for "Graphics Settings". Select "Classic App" and browse to C:\Program Files\obs-studio\bin\64bit\obs64.exe (or wherever you have installed OBS). Click "Options" (example screenshot).

This may prevent you from using Display Capture.

Laptop? Black screen when capturing? Read here first.

Depending on your Windows version and what sources you wish to use, you may need to set OBS to run on a specific GPU. Not sure which Windows version you have? Press Windows+R and run "winver". For Windows 10 1909 or newer: Open Settings and search for "Graphics Settings". Select "Classic App"...
