Question / Help Can't stream @ 60 fps

[BTJ]

Hello, got this problem that i can't stream @ 60 fps, because i get no quality change at all streaming 25 fps is the same like 60.
25 FPS - http://ru.twitch.tv/beetj/b/334217850
60 FPS - http://ru.twitch.tv/beetj/b/334217707

As you can see - no difference, same on the local recording.

My system is :
CPU - AMD FX 6200 6 core @ 4.2 GHz
GPU - zotac GTX 560
RAM - Kingston 2x 4 GB
OS - Win 7 64bit

My OBS settings are -
Quality 10.
Preset - veryfast
Bitrate/buffer - 6000
Output resolution - 1920x1080
FPS - 60 (well at least i'm trying that)
Capture mod - used both non hepled. (and yes aero was disabled + i don't get fps drops from my bandwidth)

Ingame settings -
Resolution - 1920x1080
FPS - 125

Pls help me solve this proble, would aprecciate that.

Best Regards.

There are indeed people who can get 60FPS, but there is a grave misconception right now about it -- the FPS setting in the video section defines your "maximum" FPS. Your actual FPS varies depending on your computer. It greatly depends on the computer specs.

I am going to put in a capture FPS meter in the next version so people can know specifically what they are getting.

Your FPS -did- seem slightly better at least in the second video though, so I don't know.

So, i guess i cant do anything about it? Cuse in xsplit i used to get smooth 60 fps picture but had less fps ingame.

Could you try turning on v-sync in your game? I don't know if that will make a difference or not, but it could help. Hm, not sure what to suggest unless I was physically at the PC.

I assume with xsplit you're using game capture or something? I think it basically captures frames directly out of the game, which is the most optimal way to capture from games. There's no way you could be getting 60fps from xsplit via software otherwise. I'll be adding the same feature at some point in the future as well, as it's a pretty important feature.. But in the mean time, until I add that, if you're unable to get favorable results from my app, I won't be offended or anything if you use another app. I know my app doesn't have every feature in the world yet.. Just know that I'll get it in eventually.

Your app is great for many things. For example i didnt have the opportunity to stream in 1080p with xsplit cuse my bandwidth test results were ~4 mbs, with yours i can stream 7 mbs with no problems, also have great perfermance ingame. I am not at home atm but when i get there gonna try the vsync thing.

Problem solved, just didn't disable AERO

 

[Lain]

Oh really? I'm glad you got it working, though I thought you said aero was disabled

 

[BTJ]

It was, now it's on and everything is fine. As i said - "didn't disable aero"

That's the first time I've heard about Aero improving capture performance.. :shock:

Not sure if it's even advisable to be streaming at such a high res and bitrate simply because you can. A lot of viewers may nit have a decent enough internet connection and/or upload rate so their viewing experience may suffer (complaining about the stream lagging and whatnot). unless you're a partner, you can get away with it since the viewer will have the option to set the stream res to a preset like 360p for example. I know this doesn't relate to your inability to stream at 60fps, but it's just some friendly advice I wanted to give you. If you already know all this and you know your viewerbase has fast internet, by all means ignore what I've said.
