Hi. This weekend I switched from Nvidia GTX 1070 to AMD RX 7900 XTX without much knowledge about what I’m doing and miraculously everything seems to work fine (games, benchmarks, movies, youtube) but these 2 things:
-
obsshows only software encoder in settings and there should be AV1 hardware encoder available (I think):
-
I think it’s for the same reason
vdpauinfosays no encoding is supported, not even HEVC:vdpauinfo output

I’m on X11. I installed the driver like so and mhwd -li output looks OK:

However when I try to check if GPU settings are fine:
❯ sudo mhwd-gpu --check # nothing
❯ sudo mhwd-gpu --status
:: status
warning: could not find '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-mhwd.conf'!
I tried mhwd-gpu --setmod catalyst (although I’m not sure what it does but help says [nvidia/catalyst]) but it didn’t solve anything.
I tried to follow some 2022 tutorial to fix OBS and it led me to install:
yay -S lib32-vulkan-amdgpu-pro vulkan-amdgpu-pro amf-amdgpu-pro obs-streamfx-git obs-vkcapture
It was supposed to bring AMF H.265/HEVC encoder if I run OBS with env variables:
VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/amd_pro_icd64.json:/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/amd_pro_icd32.json OBS_USE_EGL=1 obs
These files exist but it didn’t fix anything and I noticed OBS showing some errors when I run it in terminal:

Finally I tried to install obs-studio-amf and it did help a little, i.e. it seems to be able to use AMD H264 hardware encoder, but it still isn’t AV1 or HEVC.
Please, help?
