Hello everyone!
I need some advice for streaming Counter-Strike: Global Offensive at 1280x720 (scaled down from a 1920x1080)
I have trouble maintaining a playable frame rate while streaming using the x264 encoder and have since switched to NVENC since the graphics card has nearly no load while playing CS:GO because of the CPU centric Source engine. So while both the OBS and CS:GO process fight over resources and CPU power, it has led to dropped frames and input lag, and in severe circumstances, even freezing.
I want to know how to mitigate this problem, because the quality of NVENC at the moment is horrendous, but also very smooth, stable, and playable. I'd like to go back to x264 (so I will have good quality footage for uploading onto YouTube since I record and stream simultaneously) without my computer exploding.
Here are my specs:
i5-6600K @4.5 GHz
EVGA GTX 1060 6GB SSC
EVGA SuperNOVA 650W NEX
I use a TPLink PCI-E 802.11N card for streaming since I live with family, and Ethernet isn't an option.
Consistent 20 Mbps+ Download and 5 Mbps Upload
