Hallo OBS community,
This is my first post here since I have always been able to figure things out myself... until now.
I am running a dedicated second system running an 1950x @ stock speeds. In addition to that
im running a 32gigs 3200mhz cl14 kit of quad channel memory and a gtx 1070. This PC is running an instance
of OBS with basically 1 scene and 1 source which captures the signal from my main pc.
From my main system ( 6800k / 1080ti / 32 gigs of Tridentz 3200mhz ) I send my OBS "preview" to the capture card which has been working great ( i know there are other ways but this is how im doing it since this way I can control the whole production side of things via hotkeys on my main system and not on my second which is further away). The capture card btw is a Magewell HDMI 4k Pro which also works flawlessly.
Now to the situation:
I can stream 1080p60@slow and have been doing so successfully since I got the 1950x.
For some reasons every once in a while the encoder gets overloaded which forces me to switch scenes back and fourth to remove it. The interesting thing in this regard is that the overloading of the Encoder is not reproducible. I can be doing the same thing 20 times, for instance re spawn. Sometimes it happens when I re spawn and sometimes it does not. And even more interesting is. Sometimes it happens when there is basically no movement ( like after a player death ).
OBS Settings:
If I remember correctly the Memory used together with the thread ripper CPU is very important that's why I basically got the fastest available 32 gig kit to do this. In addition to that, My CPU is basically just scratching 30-40 percent load with the Slow preset while streaming. It is also cooled on water and never gets hot. In OBS the only custom commands I am using ontop of the Slow preset is "Threads=20, and bframes=4".
A screenshot of my Magewell Capture Card settings:
I do believe this thread could be a valuble asset to threadripper users / high core count enthusiast CPU's so lets try and be constructive here :) If we need a video of the exact time it overloads with the scene visible at the same time I gladly will create one and try to reproduce it. Log + Screenshots are attached. Thanks a LOT! in advance for your help.
