Hey guys.

I was wondering if anyone that owns a 5960x, or even a 5820k could do some test recordings for me playing CS:GO.

Basically I want to check the quality difference (both of the video and the in-game FPS) on CS:GO on Faster, Fast and Medium.

I can do Veryfast with my current 4790k but I want to know how it would look on slower presets and most importantly how the in-game FPS will behave using them. Right now I can maintain 200+ fps on most maps, having some maps drop, but never below 120.


Thanks guys!
 
I have access to a 5960X computer with a GTX 980, and let me tell you, its not worth the $1k(!).

I do not have CSGO installed on it, but, why do you need over 200FPS anyways?

It's hard to tell actually... CS:GO has this weird thing where more FPS seems better... So playing @ 120 feels a little less responsive than playing @ 200+.

Any chance you could do that test for me, sir? :) No need for long gameplay videos, just a few 2 minute runs with some quick scenes, like flicking the mouse on a local server filled with bots.

Thanks for the reply!

What is your recording resolution and fps? And are you talking about streaming or purely recording? There are tricks to get around killing FPS in such games, but your 4790K (especially if you overclocked it like a good boy) should be able to surpass "veryfast".

I'm recording @1440p (2x Downscale to 720p) and 60fps, since it's the only way to stream CS:GO. 30 fps looks way too bad.

If you're purely recording, I suggest 720p 60fps, ~8000 bitrate (or thereabouts) and "fast" or "faster" for your setup.

If your game is dropping a lot of frames, try telling OBS to ignore core #1 (and its hyperthread) via task manager when recording, as single-thread-heavy games like CS:GO and Mass Effect 2 etc will take a huge hit if you let OBS use the thread they favour the most.
 
I have a 5960x and 4 gtx 980.

Honestly, not much difference between the presets. Difference between fast and medium is minimal, difference between medium and slow isn't that much better at 720p 60fps. Haven't tried streaming it at higher res since I'm not partnered and have no quality options.

Jesus, 4x GTX 980 and a 5960x, isn't that overkill for gaming!? or do you render video/compute?

The largest jump is from "veryfast" to "faster". Faster --> medium is notice-able, but faster --> fast is not so much. In the same trend, "fast" --> "slow" is notice-able, but "fast --> medium" is not as much.

The best thing you can do is still toss as much compression as possible on a stream though.

Yea, honestly, stick with medium, past that it's not worth it.

After medium I recommend reading into the X264 custom commands, and playing around with those.

I do that, and even on medium I can squeeze out just a tad bit better quality, but I'm streaming using a dedicated 2600k at 4.0Ghz.

Second: your signature is giving me seizures...lol.
