Okay, good to know. I'll just keep it set to 0 for now.
- CPU: Intel G3258@4600 (2 core Haswell)
- GPU: AMD Radeon R9 Fury Sapphire Nitro (stock factory, VCE 3.0)
- RAM: 2x4GB DDR3 1600Mhz
- SSD: Windows 7-64 Ultimate SP1, Steam, OBS
- 1920x1080, 70 mhz, locked 70 fps ingame and in crimson
- Driver Version: 16.9.2
- OBS Studio Version: 0.16.2 64-Bit Windows
- Plugin Version: 1.3.1.0
- Streaming: 50 fps 1920*1080 -> 960*540 Twitch non-partner
How to make quality better and reduse dropped frames to 0-1% ? Should i use b-picture pattern and b-picture reference for twitch streaming?

For everyone using this, I have finally managed to completely write the wiki page for configuring the encoder! *confetti* If you are interested (and most of you are, I can tell right now without even seeing you), you'll find it here: https://github.com/Xaymar/OBS-AMD-Advanced-Media-Framework/wiki/Configuration
Upgrade to version 1.3.2.3, try using B-Pictures without B-Picture Reference or lowering the Quality Preset to Balanced or Speed.
Got new good settings. Example https://www.twitch.tv/exughblu/v/92968148

I am just reading through the configuration guide, and i am unsure what's up with my GOP size. You told me that mine was set to 0, although i cannot recall ever messing with that setting. Should i set it to something else? What would have been the default? I don't have the "Set Custom GOP Size" ticked. Should i tick it?

He asked you probably because of log info. If you don't setup it manually - simply say it.

AMD just released Driver version 16.10.1:
It is recommended to upgrade the driver, or if not possible, upgrade the AMF runtime using this guide.

1.3.3.0 adds two new features to the plugin: Automatic Profile Level and Dynamic Reconfiguring.
Automatic Profile Level
This works by calculating the expected samples per second and comparing them with the Rec. ITU-T H.264 (02/2016) and then selecting the proper Profile Level for the given resolution and frame rate. You will no longer have no manually select this and end up with something that isn't ideal!
Dynamic Reconfiguring
One of the main features of AMDs encoder is that you can reconfigure most of the parameters during encoding. This is now properly supported in both the simpler interface and the advanced one. This means that you can now do testing live without having to restart your stream or recording at all. Just change the settings, hit apply and they'll be applied!
In addition to the new features, Presets have been updated again and will no longer modify Advanced and Expert settings and also now use Automatic Profile Level for best compatibility. Read the changelog below for full changes.

I connect second monitor and find out that my bitrate randomly up to 6000-6500 settings same https://obsproject.com/forum/thread...ugin-for-obs-studio.52305/page-20#post-243607 . Im loosing frames when that happens. When i enable B-picture pattern and B-picture reference thats happens even more.

I've been getting the same thing for a while now. Sometimes I lose frames while it's happening, and sometimes I don't. I also see spikes up to 10000 kbps, and it goes down into the hundreds, as well. I stop and start the stream, and it goes away.

Are you both using RX 4xx cards or older generations? As far as I'm aware, only VCE 2.0 has issues with B-Pictures currently, VCE 3.4 isn't capable of them at all. I unfortunately don't have a GPU of each generation to test issues with, so I have to rely on user reports or on Jim to get hardware to test with once he is not affected by the TwitchConities anymore.
@Xaymar i cant make logs, but here is new results: https://www.twitch.tv/exughblu/v/93461595

Why are you using "H264 Encoder [Advanced] (AMD Advanced Media Framework)"? I see nothing in your configuration that requires that.
I'll quote the wiki for you:
And also since you messed with GOP Size and CABAC, here's another quote:
Sorry, but support ends here for you. You'll have to figure out what is wrong on your own or start using the simpler one "H264 Encoder (AMD Advanced Media Framework)".
Edit: In the future, there will only be one of these once the complete core is done.
