Hi guys. So I have recently upgraded my system so I can stream at decent quality (4770k and GTX 780). I recently found out that OBS can use an iGPU to render graphics which means more performance from the CPU while playing and streaming games.
I am having issues getting OBS to actually use Quick Sync. While using a 4770k and a GTX 780 the CPU will be around 60% usage. I have read reports that offload a good chunk of CPU usage to the iGPU for rendering. I have enabled iGPU in the BIOS, installed the Intel graphics drivers, GX780 and iGPU both have drivers installed, I have extended the display in windows to enabled the iGPU. When I select the primary video device in OBS as the iGPU I am unable to capture the game being played on the GTX 780 and OBS displays a black screen. When I have quick sync enabled and select the GTX 780 as the primary graphics card I can capture the game being played but there is no difference in CPU usage and would appear the Quick Sync is not being utilized. I would appreciate any help.
