OBS Studio 31.0.0 Beta 2
NVIDIA Kepler (600 and 700 series) GPUs are no longer supported for NVENC.
NVIDIA users may need to update their GPU drivers to 551.76 (Windows) / 550.54.14 (Linux) or newer.
The code signing certificate for OBS has been updated. This may impact game capture compatibility with some anti-cheat solutions with this OBS update. If you are a game or anti-cheat developer please see https://obsproject.com/kb/capture-hook-certificate-update for more information.
