Regular "Encoder Error" messages after installing RTX 3080 Ti.

I was previously using a GTX 1080 Ti and never had this issue.

Ever since I installed am RTX 3080 Ti, I keep getting the "Encoder error has occurred" error message. When it happens, the stream and recording both stop, and I can't restart either until I reboot OBS. Again, this has only happened with the new GPU, so I'm not sure what the issue is or what would cause it.

The games I am playing at the time is Magic Online, which is an incredibly low resource game.

Are there settings in OBS I should have changed when I updated the video card?

I'm also attaching my log file. If any one has any ideas or needs any additional info, just let me know. Additionally, just to clarify, I am using the latest Nvidia driver, 457.51.

Thanks in advance!

Also getting the following "NVENC error. Too many concurrent sessions obs" error, usually after OBS crashes.

Those settings have been the same for at least two years, and I've never had any issue when I was running a 1080 ti. Now I have a 3080 ti, so I'm not sure how that could be worse.

Just want to point out that I'm currently streaming simple mode for output, so I don't have the option of choosing CQP and CBR. But when I look in advanced, as you can see from the screenshots, both streaming and recording are already in CBR.

I just finished a stream where we crashed three times, which is a record. Attaching the three crashing logs, and screenshots of my settings. (Was streaming with "simple" selected, so "advanced" might not be relevant to these crashes.)

I too upgraded from a 1080ti to a 3080. Drivers were wiped before install new drivers installed. Obviously no settings changed. This problem showed up and for a month and a half has been plaguing me. Run as administrator has no effect, the "Encoder Error" will show up eventually. I tried other drivers and reinstalling OBS. No good. I have no clue what causes it.

remember the card have only 2 encode slots from driver, if you have "geforce experince" installed and the "game capture" Highlight features of some games active it already use min 1 of the 2 slots (so need to disable) if you willing to encode 2 streams with different encode settings
