Question / Help Starting The Output failed with NVENC

[DestroyernV]

Hey! I am trying to stream with NVENC because of what i read it is much better than x264 in my situation, but whenever i try to stream it says "starting the output failed"

1. The Windows 10 CU added a new Game Mode option which causes issues more often than it helps. It is recommended to disable it when using OBS. See here for how to disable: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-enable-disable-game-mode-windows-10-creators-update

2. Perform a clean driver installation for your GPU by following the instructions at http://obsproject.com/forum/resources/performing-a-clean-gpu-driver-installation.65/

Set GPU back to 0, and try not to change advanced settings that you don't understand.

ive done everything listed here but it still doesnt allow me to start the stream

EDIT: turns out i had put "level" to 1 instead of auto, that fixed the problem for me

No level should be at auto, not at 1
