OBS Hardware Encoding

Framework Laptop 16 Linux
1

Those using Nvidia GPUs can take advantage of the NVENC hardware encoder when using OBS to record. Does Framework 16’s AMD Graphics Module feature one too? When I open OBS > Settings > Output > Streaming > Video Encoder no option other than the default software encoder is displayed.

I found an official plugin for AMD GPUs but it got archived last month and RX 7700S is not in the list of supported hardware. Is there any way to get hardware encoding working?

Distribution: Arch Linux

That thing was archived like 3 years before either the cpu or gpu in the framework came out. Both your dgpu and your igpu have some pretty beefy hw encoders, you just need the plumbing XD.
