@Xaymar Not sure if you know the answer to this but I ask anyway :D

PUBG no matter the settings I use starts out frame rate lag free and then after around 20 mins or so the FPS will start dropping and then continue to drop resulting in choppy stream.

Now if I use Relive AMD driver I dont get any FPS lag at all it continues 100% of the time smooth gaming.

Why would this be? Both are GPU encoding 15000mbps "doesn't matter that I use here" 1080p 60fps this also doesn't matter.
Thanks

Thanks will give that a try.
Does the AMD Relive Driver capture frames from the GPU differently? Or is it just a case of more closed optimisation from AMD themselves?
Its only PUBG that I have this issue with tbh every other game so far OBS AMF has been rock solid.

AMD ReLive can take advantage of in-process encoding and does not have to render an extra scene (though it may do so if configured and will have some of the issues). Most of the performance differences between OBS and GPU vendor recording tools are due to that.

hey guys - can anyone of you with RX 480 or better AND Crimson 17.7.2 AND 'The Division' test one thing for me

when ever i record/stream 'The Division' with 'PrePass' enabled my GPU-Driver & recording crashes

@Xaymar and me tried to reproduce it with different game - but it only happens with 'The Division'

looks like i has to do with HWacc for video on my second screen:

maybe is based on changes in 17.7.2 on: "Improved Game Responsiveness - Up to 31% (50ms) quicker response time using Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition 17.7.2 with Tom Clancy’s The Division on the 8GB Radeon RX 580 graphics card than with Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition 17.7.1."

1st - why do you want to use that reso? your viewers will most likely have black bars then...
2nd - afaik AMF doesnt support other then 16:9 - so only AMD can fix that
3rd - do you record locally all for yourself? if not 1st...

Hi,
using OBS for some weeks now I´ve some error since changing my display and the resolution is now 1440p.
When using H264/AVC Encoder (AMD Advanced Media Framework) I now get the following error:

When using downscale to 1080p everything works fine but in native resolution the recording doesn´t start. The graphics card used is an AMD R9 390X. It used to work with my 1080p monitor. Graphics drivers are up to date, OBS Version is up to date, too.
Any ideas?

Best regards

Interesting tidbit from the AMD Vega GPU whitepaper:

“Vega’s” video encode accelerator also supports today's most
popular formats. It can encode HEVC/H.265 at 1080p240,
1440p120, and 2160p60. Encoding H.264 video is also
supported at 1080p120, 1440p60, and 2160p60. “Vega’s”
ability to encode the H.264 format at 3840x2160 at up to
60Hz is an upgrade from “Polaris,” which tops out at
2160p30

1. xD - stupid - because 85% of your viewers will have bars - so they wont watch your stream...
2. yeah - kinda
3. if you record locally its ok to not use 16:9 - but for streaming that its not usefull - because, as i said, most of your viewers will have black bars

GCN1 and GCN2 cards do not support resolutions above 1920x1920, for that you would need a GCN3 or newer card. AMF supports anything that the hardware also supports, regardless of aspect ratio. You could have a 1920:1 video if you so desired.
