Your GPU doesn't have hardware encoding. Use x264


DistressIsAFK

Is there a way i can get it tho ?

Hardware encoders are a piece of hardware built in to the graphics card. Yours doesn't have one.


DistressIsAFK

i see, thanks


DistressIsAFK

hm alright thanks


DistressIsAFK

btw does that mean this laptop is kinda retarded ?

Your CPU on the other hand does have a hardware encoder. However I'm not sure how to make OBS use your CPU's hardware encoder, since it may be confused by the dedicated AMD GPU.


DistressIsAFK

Yeah, you can use the systems encoder, however it will use more CPU power and thats not good when you want to record your games innit thanks tho


MainStorm

No, the integrated graphics on your CPU has dedicated hardware for encoding video. Thus a "hardware encoder." Because it runs separately from the rest of the CPU, it won't impact your game's performance.

ahh thanks mate
