Bug Report Switchable Graphics

[Mr_StarDelta]

Switchable Graphics DO NOT WORK. I have tried every solution I know possible but coding. It will not change from my Intel HD 4000 to my AMD Radeon 7670M. This is very annoying and I cannot change it and it results in low FPS.

AMD switchable graphics don't work. Only nvidia. The reason for this is not OBS' fault as far as I've ever been able to tell, seems to be the fault of the AMD drivers.

The current workaround is to use window capture with 'compatibility mode' checked, and run the game in a borderless/windowed mode.

Has anyone contacted AMD for the issue with their drivers. OBS is the best streaming software out there and the problem with AMD feels like something that their company should fix but I don't know if they even know about it.

Well a workaround for me was using Xsplit. I disliked the idea, but was wondering if Xsplit would be able to capture a game with its game capture option despite the switchable graphics nonsense. And surprisingly, it did. I was wondering if you could implement an option similar to what they have (if you know what they do), as I would really love to get back to OBS, as I despise any sort of windowed mode when I play games.

You could try obs-mp with multi-adapter compatibility setting in game capture.
Xsplit probably uses something similar.
