Hello,
I want to call this an Overwatch problem but I figured I'd run it by the community here.
First, My system:
i7-6800k
32 GB, DDR4-2666mhz
GTX 1080ti
Snippet of my streaming settings (full log attached)
Encoder: x264
Preset: Fast
vBitrate: 3800
aBitrate:160
All other setting set to Twitch specifications
Today while attempting to stream Overwatch, the game AND OBS would slow to a crawl. I monitor CPU and GPU usage normally and didn't notice any over-utilization on either. OBS was reporting about 20% CPU while my overall system was reporting about 30%-35% which is about what I expect at these settings.
OBS would then claim "Encoder overloaded" and start losing stage framerate (not dropping frames however), and Overwatch would hitch and chug.
I've done a number of tests with other games and different settings and scenarios. Seems to only happen with Overwatch.
A few of my log files are attached. Thanks for any help you all might be able to provide.
