OBS needs to be running on the nvidia GPU if you want to use the nvenc encoder.

Looks like your GPU does not support NVENC then. It's really hit or miss with most mobile GPUs if the NVENC encoder works or not. As a last test, make sure you're on the latest drivers from nvidia.

That did it, streams up and running. Thank you so much man, keep up the stellar work!
