If you cannot see the 'H264 (Nvidia® NVENC)' or 'HEVC (Nvidia® NVENC)' option, please try the solutions below:

FourCC code: To play the recorded video on media players, choose ' H264.' To edit the recorded video with Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere with the AVI container, choose ' X264.' » See more.

Keyframe interval: If you choose '150' as the Keyframe interval, keyframes will be created every 150 frames.

(For example, use graphic card A for recording and graphic card B for gaming.)

GPU device: If you use more than 2 GPUs, try this option.CBR (Constant Bitrate) - Bitrate-based: CBR always uses the same bitrate, as a result, you can predict the video file size (But, the recorded video size might be larger.).VBR (Variable bitrate) - Quality-based: VBR allows a higher bitrate for faster scenes and a lower bitrate for slower scenes, as a result, the recorded video size can be made smaller.Profile: If you choose 'H264 (NVIDIA® NVENC),' the Profile selection menu (Auto, Main, High) will be shown.( View the comparison of video codecs of Bandicam) H264/HEVC is one of the most commonly used formats for the recording, compression, and distribution of high definition videos.
