Streaming with integrated graphics (OBS)

Ctzrcks · October 2, 2018

So a few days ago I was wanting to setup a 2nd monitor to play games and watch anime same time so I just hooked in my TV and works great. BUT I noticed on OBS there was another hardware setting for encoding SOFTWARE-HARDWARE NVEC- "(NEW") HARDWARE QSV which I'm assuming is the integrated graphics (UHD630).

So I was thinking If I can play games using my integrated graphics without having to use cpu/gpu settings that be pretty nice for less input lag and smaller chance of 144hz compromise but that backfired to where overwatch went to 300 fps to 90 (probably running the ENTIRE game off the integrated graphics while streaming)

So I was curious if there is a way to separate usage to make integrated graphics stream and my main GPU to play, I don't have any knowledge in this sort of thing was just curious.

(i7 8700k 4.9ghz UHD630/1070ti)

NVEC is NVidias encoder and uses your GPU. For Intel there's QuickSync which would use iGPU. You need to enable it and assign some RAM for vram. Then it will act as extra virtual screen.

I'm unsure what you are trying to do with it.

Sorry I wasn't clear. I made this post in a jiffy out of curiosity, I'm wondering if I can make the integrated graphics do the streaming part so I keep all the frames produced by my gpu/cpu for my game.
