Before I updated (clean install) from 18.04 to 20.04, OBS worked fine on my Nvidia Quadro K2100M. After updating, I am met with the below messages. This happens in the launchpad and unofficial snap versions. I have the nvidia-driver-418-server package installed from "Additional Drivers". Any help would be appreciated.
When run from the terminal, I get this message:

Looks like your hardware does not support required nvenc version, change encoder in settings.

You seem to have an old nvidia driver. What might work:
Note: I posted
465since it is the latest I see with tab completion after typingsudo apt install nvidia-driver-. You may have a different version, but it will surely be enough (probably >435) (source).I don't think you need to compile from source.
