- You cannot use a second 'encoding' GPU, no. There are a lot of technical reasons, but they all boil down to "it would make the system overhead MUCH worse, and get you no benefit". (If nothing else, it would constantly be logjamming your PCIe bus to hell and back.)

How does OBS work?
OBS uses the GPU of the monitor it's being rendered on, so you'd need to plug whatever monitor you usually use for OBS into the 970. Another alternative besides using a capture card on a separate PC, in my opinion, would be to set up your PC with Proxmox, where you have two Windows VMs.
Aug 22, 2018 · Yes, if you get separate GPU for encoding, you still get dropped frames if the GPU OBS is running on is on 100%. And you cannot set priorities on the GPU (see the edit of my previous post). Now you might think you can try to run OBS on one GPU for composing and your game on a second GPU.
May 23, 2023 · If you have an Intel CPU and running the game on an external GPU, you can use Quicksync on the iGPU as encoder, which is effectively offloading encoding to a different GPU. Using Quicksync on the iGPU isn't wasting that much resources as using a hardware encoder on an external GPU.
Oct 26, 2021 · NVENC is a separate part of the GPU core and does NOT use *any* game-rendering assets. The only time you'll see 'encoding overloaded' with NVENC active is if you're using the Max Quality preset (use Quality instead), Lookahead or Psychovisual Tuning (turn them OFF).
Yes. Should you do it? No and here's why: First of all (in laymans terms): With the new NVENC encoder option in OBS Studio, the captured frame is kept on the GPU, if you have to move the frame from one GPU to the other GPU for encoding, you loose time and performance. Second:
Encoding with nvenc will work like a charm. The only way to use 2 video cards for streaming without hidden problems is 2 pc setup with capture card. The 2080 has a very good encoder, 960 has a mediocre encoder. In your case, it is better to limit the frame rate in games to 60 fps.
Jul 11, 2023 · Recommended OBS Encoder Setting: x264. The x264 encoder is a good fit for the combination of a Ryzen 5 and a Radeon RX 500 series GPU. For 1080p streaming, consider a bitrate in the range of 3500 to 4500 kbps with a 'faster' CPU usage preset. AMD Ryzen 7 with Radeon RX 5000 series.
