Trying to record on OBS with hardware encoding H264 gives me the error :
An encoder error occurred while recording.
or when i try it with HEVC:
Failed to open NVENC codec: Generic error in an external library
Try installing the latest NVIDIA driver and closing other recording software that might be using NVENC such as NVIDIA ShadowPlay or Windows Game DVR.
However nothing else is recording at the same time. Spectacle’s screen recording doesnt seem to save the file anywhere, even though it does not give me an error. GPU Screen Recorder is working fine though.
