If you configure OBS to use a second (Nvidia in my case) GPU and then later uninstall the GPU it will break, giving (very obvious) CUDA errors. The issue is that going back to a single GPU seems to hide the GPU selection box so you can't use the GUI to fix this setting manually. Had to dig into the %appdata%\obs-studio\basic\profiles\%PROFILE%\%record|stream%Encoder.json file to manually change the device id from 1 (or higher if you're rich?) back down to 0. Then it worked.
Honestly didn't check if this is a known issue since it wasn't easy enough to find the bug reporting area so I mostly made this for anyone else googling for a solution. I won't be monitoring this thread.
