Previously, users had to turn HDR off, since 10- or 12-bit HDR content would look washed out if it was recorded at 8-bit. Gamers can now livestream with vibrant HDR colors in titles like Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy.” The update also enables recording and streaming in HDR, which offers a greater range of bright and dark colors on a display, adding a stunning vibrance and dramatic improvement in visual quality. Encoder quality average on 200+ sequences of 1080p videos. The implementation, built specifically for hardware-based HEVC encoders, enables users to record content and stream to supported platforms like YouTube with better quality. HEVC support in OBS 28.0 improves video compression by 15%. Both effects - as well as noise removal - are available within OBS as filters, giving users more flexibility to apply them per source. This can come handy when using a desktop mic or if in a room with a bit of echo. Room echo removal eliminates unwanted echoes during streaming sessions.

OBS 28.0 has launched with a host of updates and improvements - including two NVIDIA Broadcast features exclusive to GeForce RTX streamers.ĪI-powered virtual background enables streamers to remove or replace their backgrounds without the need for a physical green screen.

NVIDIA also worked with Google to enable live streaming of HEVC and HDR content to YouTube using the NVIDIA Encoder (NVENC) - dedicated hardware on GeForce RTX GPUs that handles video encoding without taking resources away from the game. The OBS release, available starting later today, offers livestreamers new features, including native integration of the AI-powered NVIDIA Broadcast virtual background and room echo removal effects, along with support for high-efficiency video coding (HEVC or H.265) and high-dynamic range (HDR). Plus, popular streamer WATCHHOLLIE shares how she uses OBS and a GeForce RTX 3080 GPU in a single-PC setup to elevate her livestreams.
