Question / Help Encoder overload new computer AMD Ryzen 9 3900X

[Escalprillo]

Just built this new computer, good cpu, ram and video card and I started getting encoder overload while playing classic wow, which is something my older computer did not get. Not sure what am I doing wrong. can anyone help?
I attached the logs from tonight stream, not sure if that will help.

You have some media sources located on the G: drive. In case this is a network or NAS drive: put these locally. OBS will produce lags if resources are located on non-local drives. Even if they are not actively in use by your current scene.

G: its a local drive, I have 5 drives in this computer, 3 being SSDs, but the one where the media is located is a regular HDD. Not sure if that could be the reason.. Will try to change the media to the same drive where OBS is to see if that helps.

I'm not sure what it is, obs is not dropping frames anymore yet the stream doesnt look as smooth as it was before the upgrade. For some reason if I choose nvec new the obs starts dropping frames like crazy. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Just as quick aside, the problem you're encountering is specifically rendering lag -- the encoding lag shown is a side effect of using the new nvenc encoder, as it includes rendering delays into the encoding percentage.

3 things to try
- Turn off PsychoVisual Tuning
- Turn on game mode (if necessary)
- Run OBS in administrator mode (this should force windows to allocate GPU resources to OBS)
