Question / Help Bad Performance, possibly picking up onboard video

[Vlahka]

So I've reinstalled this since I changed my motherboard and the program is absolutely horrid. Takes ages when I try to select a source. Streams worse than a slideshow. Loses ability to find the game I'm trying to stream in the game capture or window capture settings. The first thing I tried to look at is if its using my onboard card instead of my nvidia one. I dont really see any option for this save for something in the advanced settings called Video adaptor which is blank. Probably not it. So I'm wondering if these issues I'm having are indeed the software picking up the onboard video card and if so how exactly do I switch it? Thanks for the help.

Ok so I messed with it some more, looks like its not detecting the onboard but the videocard. Heres the log.

I hope thats how you show them. One other thng thats happening now is the drop down menu for the games running arent showing. I normally play games in window mode and I never had a problem before. Now theres nothing to select like a game isnt running.

Looks like its working now. The only thing different now is I have adobe flash installed. Honestly have no idea if that did anything. Guess I'll experiment some and see if it works multiple times.

Well it still does it. But when it finds it the thing wont stream. I start streaming but the video keeps saying its ended. Like its trying and failing. So for whatever reason this program refuses to work properly for me anymore. Back to looking for anyone whos had these issues. Thanks in advance.

Check gpu-z if your gpu is running @16x 3.0 (or whatever your gpu uses max). I once didn't plug it deep enough, the clip and stuff was all good, but the card was like 0.5mm not deep enough causing my gpu to run at x2 only. Just a guess though but since it's happening after a hardware switch, It's most likely something like that causing it.

My symptoms were fps drops all over the place on obs only (not in game). Gtx 1080 in my case.

*I was blaming obs also until I tried xsplit(forgive me) and having the exact same issue there :)


*And indeed, advanced settings shows a blanked out Videoadapter, It's normal.

Everything looks ok. Even pushed it in firmly to make sure.

I did try one thing earlier that seemed to work, although my previous installing flash thing worked until the next day too so I guess I'll find out tomorrow if its still normal. I decided to double check my virus scanner, something I've used for the past decade and know it inside and out. Noticed OBS was in the allowed area which is normal. I disabled protection for a few minutes to see if it would work and the program surprisingly did. Didn't pause or hang, streamed videos just fine. Stopped it, put protection back on, program would hang for a bit anytime I tried to change something, and streaming was just a looping failed attempt to load the supposedly Live stream. If it IS this simple then I'm not exactly sure whats blocking what. The damn thing is in the safe list. I'll tamper with it over the next couple days but I'm really hoping this is the issue. Even if I cant figure i out I can suffer the excruciatingly painful ordeal of clicking suspend protection when I run it.

Looks like I've sorted it. Somehow it was the virus scanners firewall settings. Disable protection and it works, despite the stupid thing being in the white list. Makes no sense but thats how it is.
