Question / Help 1-2 FPS when streaming DOOM

[enzeru666]

So I've been messing around with both OBS and Xsplit, and I can't seem to find the reason why DOOM yields a laggy stream. Laggy as in non-watcheable, the viewers get like 1-2 fps.

Specs

• i5 6600 @ 3.50GHz
• 16gb RAM DDR4
• MSI Geforce GTX 1080
• 100mbit down/up fibre connection

I get around 90-150 fps ingame when playing at 1440p on Ultra settings (gsync enabled, tried disabling too). I tried to lower this to 1080p to see if it made a difference to the stream, but it didn't.

I'm not a Twitch partner, so after spending a couple of hours googling and trying to find the best settings for streaming it seems that downscaling to 720p was the best option.

This is the latest log in which I tried a few settings as discussed in this reddit thread.
This is my speedtest result

I've tried this so far:

• Lowering the base canvas and ingame resolution to 1080p
• Disabling Gsync
• Lowering the bitrate to 2000kbit as per the default settings

But nothing seems to work, I still get crap framerate when I'm streaming.
What I haven't tried in DOOM yet is to limit the framerate, because I can't see any option to do that ingame. However when I disabled GSync it was locked at 60fps as per my monitors fps counter.

I also tried Battlefield and ARK, which are pretty heavy games, and they lagged too. Rocket League is the only game I can stream fluidly. And since I get good FPS both ingame and in the preview I can't see that the computer is too weak to stream at good quality?

1) That log is only partial, post the full log
2) Disable opencl=true and punch whoever told you to use it
3) Disable compatibility mode from game capture

Thanks for the quick reply!
Tried the above and it was a little bit better, still around 2-3 fps onstream.

So I tried changing the encoder to NVENCH instead and it improved massively, I got almost no lagged frames:
