Question / Help 8350 + 660 ti. 80 fps.

himynamesaustin · Oct 31, 2013

I'm trying to stream Counter-Strike Global Offensive. I play competitively so I always have to have atleast 120 FPS for my 120 hz monitor.

My specs are:
AMD FX-8350 8-Core Processor @ 4.2 GHz
nVidia GTX 660 Ti 2GB DDR5
8 GB Ram 1600 hz

I get 80 fps with OBS, and this is a cpu intensive game.
My settings:

http://puu.sh/54j8M/ee1c719b91.png
http://puu.sh/54j9C/e1c61306f6.png

Internet speed:

I set CS:GO to use 4 cores and OBS to use the other 4 cores. I'll used all FPS fixes for this game.
a $500 CPU+GPU combo should not be getting this low of frames while streaming.

Any help is much appreciated :D

Can you post your log? viewtopic.php?f=6&t=97

Trying to maintain 120fps is pretty tough on a single-PC streaming setup, which is why a lot of people use 2-PC setups when they are looking for that kind of performance.

Appreciate the fast response

Enable Aero. OBS can grab directly from the offscreen buffers, making capture faster.
Use your monitor's resolution, then a downscale multiplier. It's more efficient, and will produce a better result as well.
Drop AAC to 96, or 128kbps at most. 160 is excessive, unnecessary, and mostly just a waste of bandwidth.
Scene buffering to 400ms unless there's a reason you need it at 700.
Disable the custom buffer.
Set your encoding preset to Veryfast.
Drop your bitrate significantly. 3500kbps for 720@30 is outright ridiculous. 2000kbps is more than enough for that res and rate, even on a high-motion game.

Now that you're squared away back to a standard baseline set, you can move on from there and determine where your bottleneck is occurring. Throwing random config changes at it and hoping it helps isn't going to get you too far.

1) Run a 6MB test at http://www.testmy.net/upload to get a baseline of your constant throughput available. Post the results here. Speedtest.net is worthless for livestreamers, forget it.
2) Monitor your system while livestreaming and in-game to see where the bottleneck is forming. Monitor:
-CPU load profile
-CPU temperature (incl. TJMax delta)
-CPU frequency and multiplier (make sure it's not having a down-stepping problem)
-GPU load profile
-GPU temperature
-RAM utilization
-HDD utilization
-Motherboard temperature
-Network utilization and throughput (preferably from an upstream system if possible)
-Ping to ingest server
If your CPU utilization is spiking, also check the task manager and sort by CPU utilization to get an idea about what is choking. OBS will likely be at the top (as expected with real-time video encoding). Also note that setting processor affinity is a per-execution affair, the setting doesn't 'stick' between runs.
3) Realize that sometimes there are limits on what a single system will be able to do. Livestreaming is a very, very demanding undertaking for any system. You may need to consider moving to a two-system setup, if you absolutely MUST have top-shelf performance, and can actually notice the difference between 80 and 120fps.

Question / Help 8350 + 660 ti. 80 fps.
