Question / Help WHICH ENCODER?

[Cam m]

In the obs studio advanced output mode for recording you can choose between a variety of encoders, having an nvidia gpu I want to use nvenc, but there are many nvenc encoders. Which one do I use? I am looking for high quality without alot of loss on gameplay fps.

Here are my choices:
h264_nvenv(libx264)
hevc_nvenc
nvenc(libx264)
nvenc_h264
nvenc_hevc


Are they all the same thing? Which one is the best? Why do I have so many of them that all seem to be the same thing?

I don't have a nVidia card so can't say for sure, I believe it would be the nvenc_h264 encoder.
Below is a link to the resource guide for further customization:

If you have any issues recording, upload a logfile and I'll try to lend a hand, if not I then someone most likely will.

Why are you using custom ffmpeg output?

Last I checked, FFmpeg output didn't support multi-track audio in OBS.
