Question / Help 2PC Stream - lagging flickering stuttering

BTW: something different. My friend (also streamer) told me that new RTX GPU cards can use new codes NVENC which can be selected in beta OBS as encoder. He is saying that with this option he can stream and play games on 1PC without any influence on the game (still great fps - running smoothly) it sounds great and much more easier like using 2PCs. Do you think it can be possible or do you have any experience with that?

NDI uses bonjour networking which can be a bit fussy. Try changing the name of the NDI source or even just adding a space to the end of the name, deleting it, and clicking Apply-- I find that sometimes makes NDI sources that aren't initially visible appear on the list.

You can also check in the NDI Studio Monitor app from NewTek to see if it can see the missing source.

The new RTX cards do provide better NVENC quality, and the test build of OBS 23 does provide efficiency improvement for all cards that support NVENC encoding.

Nothing is as good as a separate PC and a good capture card, though, as long as the GPU in the streaming PC is good enough. An RTX card is a better encoder, and is strong enough to avoid some problems you might have with weaker cards, but lots of users are still having driver issues with them, as well as issues with newer games (Anthem, Apex Legends, Metro, etc) and OBS. Don't sell a streaming rig that's working properly for a GPU that's only a few weeks old and a test build of OBS that isn't officially released yet.
