    Why OBS is using a significant amount of CPU when using NVENC?

    From my understanding, the composition of the different sources is done on the GPU and it's also the case for the encoding (NVENC) so what is left on the CPU? I have a CPU bottleneck so I would like to know how I can influence the CPU consumption of OBS knowing I'm using NVENC encoding

    Does streaming and recording at the same time use more CPU when using NVENC?

    using recording quality same as stream or different quality. Is it just asking more work to the encoder (on the GPU) or is it doing more work on the CPU too?

    How far NVENC can go for recording gameplay locally

    We all know our recording capability with x264 encoder is pretty much defined by our CPU. It's core, it's number of core, it's clock speed etc. But what about NVENC? Let's say Turing Gen here Does NVENC works alone without taking a single NVIDIA GPU cores resources? If this is the case, it...

    "Failed to start output. It's possible that encoder doesn't start." Error on youtube RTMP

    Hi guys, I get the above error when using multiple RTMPs to stream a webinar. This appears to only be for youtube RTMPs and appears fix if I switch back to using x264 encoder instead of "NVIDIA NVENC h.264 (New)". Again the error only applies to youtube - I output to several facebook RTMPs, and...

    2 PC setup question (Encoding)

    TL;DR - With a 2 PC Setup, is using RTX Nvenc (new) as the encoder on the dedicated machine still a better option than x264 with a high end CPU such as the 3900x? Hello everyone! Apologies on not being able to provide a log, I am currently at work and decided out of the blue to post this. I...

    Influence of settings for NVENC lossless recording

    I sometimes record my games losslessly using NVENC to re-encode later without losing a lot of quality I've read that some settings (look-ahead, PVT and B-frames) can improve quality if you are using CBR, CQP and VBR, but I'm not really sure if they actually make a difference when doing lossless...

    Hi, first of all: im a Streamer since 3 months and i love it❤ now the Problem: I made my very own Overylay with GIMP and Davinci Resolve Fusion. I made some Panels with Animated Backroung and Finally a big Gameframe with an animation. I was scared how big such files can be. The Frame has a...

    missing frames in "Control"

    hello everyone. I got a mild problem and that's actually a problem I've been having with any major title that puts a somewhat bigger load on my GPU. I am missing frames due to rendering lag when streaming control maybe that's due to my bitrate of 4000kbps but I am not sure. I tried limiting the...

    Dropping frames when switching to another game

    Hi everyone, I started streaming not too long ago and I seem to have found a pattern regarding dropped frames. I have an arguably solid system (AMD Ryzen 5 3600, Nvidia RTX 2060, 16 GB RAM) and decent internet speeds (300 Mbps download/10 Mbps upload) so I doubt these aspects could be the issue...

    Frozen frames,but clear audio, while recording valorant in 1080p60

    The recording works fine for the first few minutes, but all the frames are frozen and not moving after the 4 minute mark, and I can only hear the audio, log file is attached, I really don't know what went wrong, I think my configuration is very much capable on recording this, thanks in advance.

    Lagdy video at 5760x2160, any way to fix?

    I have my current video base and scaled resolution at 5760x2160, and the recording set to a mov container, 10000kbps bitrate, and nvenc_hevc encoding. The video runs fine for the first 2ish seconds before dropping to 2 seconds a frame. Anything to change to fix this? I remember changing...

    NVENC Encoding Issue

    Hi all, I'm experiencing some weird NVENC recording issue that I never had for months of using. When I try to start record, it will be stopped immediately with an error pop up saying encoding failed, and sometimes it happens in the middle of recording (say 2min into the recording). The recorded...
