Hey everyone,
So I have been doing a ton of Googling about this for about a week now and I can't seem to get a consistent answer. Here's my story...
So I have been using OBS for several months now, I was using a 560ti for a while streaming CSGO with no problems at all. I then switched up to a GTX 950, which again I had no problems streaming CSGO, Black Ops 3 and Infinite Warfare, however when I recently upgraded again to a GTX 1070 Founder's Edition I have been constantly getting the "Graphics Driver has frozen or crashed" error. This is a major concern because I stream a lot of zombies Easter Eggs and it is VERY annoying when I am in the middle of a boss or something and my game locks up or even minimizes to show me the error, which half of the time by time I get back into the game I am dead and on top of that my stream has now stopped. Does anyone have any info on if this is an issue with the Pascal cards or what? To answer the questions I have seen:
No my card is not overclocked. The only "overclocking" like things I have done is on MSI Afterburner I have allowed for higher temps and power allotment so I don't get frame drops if I thermal throttle or something. Which is something I have done with every single GPU I have ever owned and it has never caused OBS to act funny. But there is no actual OC'ing being done.
I have tried running my games in windowed borderless mode and it HELPS but does not solve the issue. I just seem to see the errors less frequently.
I have tried running both NVEC and x264 and both causes crashes.
I have tried streaming with XSplit as well, which ran perfectly fine for hours and hours however they have this stupid error where you have to reintialize your mic every 15 minutes or else it gets static as all hell. But I do prefer OBS so I really hope there is a fix to this.
I do not have openGL enabled.
If this is just a problem with Pascal cards than I can run my games on low settings until a driver or patch or whatever needs to happen happens. But I have not had this issue up until a couple of weeks ago. So any advice would be really awesome. People keep telling me I am over stressing my GPU but my MSI Afterburner charts disagree.
Thanks for any help!
