Question / Help Encoding Overload, Streaming and Recording, High End PC

[Boobot141]

Just starting out getting into recording and streaming and it seems as though I have hit a roadblock.

When attempting to record or stream using any preset slower than "very fast" I receive the encoding overload error.
This is all while using x264 encoding.

I'm currently running an i7-6950X @ 3.5 OC on water, 16GB DDR4, and a NVIDIA 1080.
My destination drive for testing purposes is a Samsung 950 Pro PCIE SSD with a read/ write of 2500MB/s | 1500MB/s.


I'm attempting to record or stream @ 1080p, 60fps.
My capture display is 2560 x 1440 running around 144fps w/ GSYNC enabled.

I haven't been able to find posts or articles online relating to this issue with my particular setup.
More often than not it seems that people are trying to record at these settings using i3s and i5s or laptop hardware five years old.


I can of course turn down the appropriate settings to be able to stream or record, however I feel as though I should really be able to push the envelope when it comes providing high fidelity video quality to my viewers.
If I could receive some help or guidance in the right direction it'd be greatly appreciated.

I'm having some trouble attaching my log files, but it looks like I'm losing nearly 99% of my frames???

1. 60hz desktop refresh
2. 60 or 30 in obs
3. 60 in game if there is switch for it (like bf3, bf4, overwatch)
4. vsync in game on
5. run obs as admin
6. make sure your gpu can do stable 60fps in game without being maxed. OBS needs some of gpu resources as well. If it can't or its maxed without vsync resulting output will stutter. Lower resolution and/or details.
(replace with 59,94 and 29,97 for 59,94 display like hdmi tv)
with 144hz monitor its fastest and most reliable to sacrifice 144 and follow 1,2,3,4

recording
when above is done, switch to nvenc like in the pic and make sure to read this https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/obs-nvenc-lowers-gpu-memory-clock.73228/

streaming
x264 720p60 with 5500-6000 bitrate, probably fast or medium preset. use afterburner 4.4.0 to monitor cpu load - it shoud hover around 80-90% not more in game while streaming
