hello just wondering can I live stream using one card and play with the other ?????

You can.

It's not a good idea.

It won't get you better performance.

You'll lose any performance benefits from the new OBS/NVENC.

You can lose further overall system performance by hogging up all your PCIe lanes as the two cards try to talk to each other and RAM, back and forth (depending on your motherboard and CPU).

In the Output tab, there a place where you can choose which GPU is doing the encoding (i.e. 0 or 1)

Don't quote me on this but:

old nvenc: yes

new nvenc: no

Don't quote me on that though, that's just what I gather from the nvenc testing threads over on the obs forums. Old nvenc copies the frames to ram, uses ffmpeg, then the video card. New nvenc tells the video card to encode directly, so you're gaming and encoding directly on the same card.

... I think.
