It looks like your mobile GPU does not support NVENC, You'll need to use a different encoder.

1. Set profile to high.
2. Make sure you don't have any custom settings like "OpenCL=true", or "Opend=true".
3. If both of the above don't help, trying changing from NVENC to x264 (software, hit apply), and then change it back to NVENC and reconfigure it.

What does that mean set profile to high? And where would it be located in the OBS studio.

P.s Im not streaming Im recording videos.
