Failed to open NVENC codec: in obs studio on manjaro


Obs studio error prompt:
Manjaro KDE plasma.

When i pressed "start recording on obs studio, this prompt pop up"
Code:
Failed to start recording:

Failed to open NVENC codec: Generic error in an external library

Check your video drivers are up to date. Try closing other recording software which might be using NVENC such as NVIDIA Shadowplay or Windows 10 Game DVR.
How I do have nvidia 940M on my leopard GP602QE laptop, But how do i know if i have Nvidia encoder capability or not.
Is there command line to check if my laptop support Nvidia NVENC H.264 ?
When i change obs "output recording encoder setting to x264, then i can record with obs, does that means my laptop does not have the feature ? or there is some setting that i didn't set right ?

Thx

What drivers, if any, did you install for your card?
