Question / Help 25.0.1 issues?

[Casketman]

So before the update,I never had to touch any of my settings. I could stream with no issues at all in relation to encoder lag and dropped frames.
Since the update to 25.0.1,I can't use OBS and have been forced to go back to SLOBS in order to stream. My CPU usage is gone through the roof,I have encoding issues even if I change the speed and the stream output even locks up at times.
Did this update change something that I need to change? Keep in mind,I do not wish to lower my stream output settings so if that is what I must do,then I will be forced to just uninstall OBS and to back to SLOBS to stream because I have no issues there and the settings are the same.

Last pre-update file I have I think this was when OBS asked to update. I have no other logs before this pre-update log

Log from 3-31 I have other logs from the 29th and 28th

If you're saying you ran 1080p60 on an Intel 530 I want to know what magic you were using.

You have significant GPU and encoder overload:

13:17:37.996: Output 'adv_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 448 (22.2%)

GPU overload. OBS is running on your integrated GPU (intel) and cannot render frames in time. Unless you are doing desktop capture on a laptop I doubt you need to be doing this. Plug both your displays into the 480 and switch OBS to using it.

GPU Overload Issues

OBS Studio - Free and open source software for live streaming and screen recording - obsproject/obs-studio

obsproject.com

13:17:38.026: Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 669/1906 (35.1%)

You are encoding on your CPU even though you have two GPU encoders available: QSV on your Intel GPU, or AMF on your AMD GPU.

OBS is on my stream rig. I capture with a Elgato card from my main. The stream PC only has 1 GPU and sadly,it only has 1 HDMI port and the rest are DP so one of the two monitors has to be plugged into the board.
So if because I have that monitor plugged into the board,that is why I am having issues??

So long story short,the RX 480 has just 1 HDMI,3 Display Ports and 1 DVI (or the version I have anyway). I was using a DVI plug for a monitor but upgraded and now it's on HDMI. So I had to plug that monitor into the board.
If that is the issue or if there is more,I shall soon find out because I put the second RX 480 that came with this rig back in and plugged the HDMI into that. I'll be streaming shortly and will know right away.
If this works,thanks for pointing out the board graphics weakness Narcogan.

You are running OBS on your weaker integrated GPU. That's what this log line means:

13:16:28.370: Loading up D3D11 on adapter Intel(R) HD Graphics 530 (0)

OBS works best in a rig with a single, strong GPU. Adding a 2nd discrete GPU in most cases just reduces performance by creating bottlenecks. Most motherboards will have reduced bandwidth for both your GPUs if you plug two in.

If you have to have an additional monitor connected to the iGPU, that's fine, but don't put OBS on that display and don't run OBS on that GPU. Use Windows' settings to make sure OBS is running on your high performance GPU.
