Problems with OBS and QuickSync occur during streaming or recording tasks.
You're experiencing issues with QuickSync and OBS freezing after just two seconds of playback. The setup involves a mix of hardware configurations—your i7 4470K, multiple GPUs, and specific display settings. It might help to check if the GPU drivers are up to date, ensure QuickSync is enabled in OBS, and verify that your monitor resolutions match the GPU capabilities. Also, try adjusting the buffer size or bitrate slightly to see if that resolves the problem.
Bitrate is significantly too high for streaming 1080p. The recommended range is 3000-3500. It seems the problem could relate to Quicksync being intended for use without an iGPU in other configurations. Essentially, it generates a virtual monitor that functions as an encoder. Personally, I found using it with dual monitors quite bothersome.
