Question / Help 120hz/144hz OBS jitter

After monitoring this for awhile it looks as though OBS uses roughly twice the normal CPU cycles when I use DXtory with it then just using game capture for some reason. (From 7-10% to 12-20%)

That's because dxtory has to go through RAM, and thus, requires CPU. Probably some directshow processing in that CPU usage as well. Game capture on the other hand doesn't get transferred through RAM/CPU by design. It's entirely on the GPU.

Hmmm... Why would the CPU usage show up in OBS instead of Dxtory? I pointed it out because I've never seen a big difference in CPU usage between DXtory and game capture. :l

I'm not entirely sure, but this may have some bearing on the whole 144hz thing too...

I was using DXtory for the better part of half a year. After gamecapture came out, i saw no reason to use DXtory anymore. Gamecapture to me accomplishes the same thing and does it better. My advice is to drop DXtory.

Click to expand...

That's because that's not how directshow functions, the dxtory app does not do any of the processing itself, the dxtory app is merely for monitoring and setting up the settings as far as I know. The processing is usually in the directshow client, which in this case would be OBS.

I thought OBS just treats DXtory as a webcam and it doesn't actually interface with it at all.


DXtory has a bit of functionality and usability built in that game capture doesn't yet. Like a FPS counter, showing when it's hooked or not, showing capture FPS, automatically focusing whatever is in the foreground. DXtory can be left relatively unattended so I can switch games and I don't need to fiddle with it.

Game capture has a handful of bugs left in it too... I definitely look to replace dxtory with game capture once GC matures more.

No I know, I'm well aware that there's some bugs and design flaws. I'm not trying to convince you to use it, I'm just saying that it's far more efficient (when it's stable)

Back to the main topic, this is still going on. It feels as though my screen is running at 60hz, even though it's operating in 144hz mode. It's smooth as silk when it's not hooked with either gamecapture or DXtory. Gamecapture yields a better experience, but you can still most definitely tell it's there. It's really annoying. I almost want to say I had a better experience while streaming using my 60hz monitor because it's disorienting the way GC and DXtory chop up a 120hz/144hz output.

Do refresh rates matter when something is being hooked? Is it possible DXtory or GC are limiting the video output to 60hz refreshes based on how they're hooked and how often they're updating?

Log from last night shows no real problems.


For clarification, the Aero issue and 'stutters' were a different issue then what I'm experiencing right now. That seems to have been fixed by disabling Aero. That was due to a difference in monitor A's refresh to monitor B's. What I'm experiencing right now seems to be in part due to the game being hooked by either GC or DXtory.

I only managed to stream smoothly by disabling my 2nd screen.. well also got 2nd comp for checking stream and looked pretty smooth. Or twitch servers had less stress than before..

I probably could stream a bit better quality but im not sure bout what settings to change

Luke have you tried disabling core parking?

Left side, parkcontrol. Also do you have the Windows 7 Bulldozer patch installed?

Your resolutions are also messed up Luke. Your base resolution is set for 1920x1054 even though your monitor resolution is 1920x1080. They should be the same.


That aside, does anyone else stream with a 120hz or 144hz monitor setup and can comment on this?

I stream with a 120Hz monitor and a 60Hz monitor as a secondary and I'm really fussy about fps and the feel of games, xsplit was just horrendous for micro stutters even though my fps was over 300.

To be honest I haven't really had any issues keeping the feel of 120hz but I took your advice earlier in this thread and left OBS on my 120hz screen rather then having it on my secondary screen. Seems absolutely fine for me, OBS has got to the point where I literally can't tell the difference between streaming and not, which is amazing.

Hmmm... I know the feeling. I know theres something off, but I can't put my finger exactly on it. I went back to DXtory and it seems to be more 'fluid' now. I get worse FPS, but better fluidity. I don't have a better way to describe it. I know I'm not being incredibly helpful.

yeah I (and many others) refer to that "feeling" as micro stutter. Even though your fps can be 300+ it feels off. I've had some luck with xsplit in the past playing around with affinities and priorities but haven't even had the issue with OBS. Try lowering your resolution and see if it goes away, thats what I used to do on xsplit.
