PCI-E 3.0x16 @x16 1.1

Buying another pc isnt really a solution my friend...not mentioning that this rig is pretty fresh and strong.

press the stress button, it probably idles at x16 1.1. there is a "?" next to the PCIE area you can use to stress it but I dont think that is what it is.

Code: 
08:47:45: WARNING: Another hook is already present while trying to hook
d3d9.dll, hook target is \Device\HarddiskVolume2\Program Files (x86)\
RivaTuner Statistics Server\RTSSHooks.dll. If you experience crashes, try
disabling the other hooking application

try closing the service for rivatuner see if that helps, if not, try "minimize network impact" in the encoding tab of OBS.

when i run strest test 3.0 x 16 @x16 3.0
and it happens without running msi afterburner so rivatuner is off.

rivatuner is a service that runs in windows. its on whether afterburner is or not. check services.msc from start\run

Did you try minimize network impact?

read the bottom of your logfile. but anyway, in one of your logs, you streamed way above twitch limit of 3500 buffer/bitrate. it is in fact advisable to lower bitrate below the max if viewers are buffering all the time. this is something you can control. also note that you should never stream at 1080@60 without being partnered. you will get no viewers that actually stay and lose ALL of your potential mobile viewers.

later in the log during another session, your connection started to stall which is basically saying somewhere between you, your ISP and twitch, your connection speed is to high


18:11:25: RTMPPublisher::SocketLoop: Stalled for 1880 ms to write 25770 bytes (buffer: 434776 / 463872), unstable connection? 18:11:27: RTMPPublisher::SocketLoop: Stalled for 1948 ms to write 25770 bytes (buffer: 437966 / 463872), unstable connection? 18:11:29: RTMPPublisher::SocketLoop: Stalled for 1892 ms to write 25770 bytes (buffer: 434271 / 463872), unstable connection? 18:11:32: RTMPPublisher::SocketLoop: Stalled for 1910 ms to write 25770 bytes (buffer: 434528 / 463872), unstable connection?


I would highly recommend you lower your bitrate to 3000 or less and keep your downscale to 720p

yeah i have my downscale on 720, and i lowered bitrate, those other numbers i was just testing to see if they have any impact on what happens.
Iv changed drivers, and my fps ingame still drop by about 10-15% , but i dont have stuttering anymore when switching weapons fast.Now why my fps is droping...

dont watch your own stream while you encode.

Hm so i still lose a lot of ingame fps while i stream with OBS.https://obsproject.com/analyzer?url=https://gist.github.com/5baa746ee88b75ee81c3be063258b346
I changed the camera resolution by right clicking on the camera in scene selection and seting custom resolution on it to 720.But log still shows its 1080 no idea why?

because the log is written in chronological order. So if you look further down, you will see the change has been made.

the easiest way to do this is to make your changes, restart OBS and record for 5 or more minutes. then check the log.


Anyway, what exactly are your issues now. We've changed the majority of the settings that would impact your performance, so. fps will drop on mid ranged GPUs. I only say that because you will need to adjust your in-game settings to work with this. i.e. your MSAA in CS:GO is 8x. there is no need for more than 2x for streaming

but why would it drop?Gtx 960 4gb isnt such a bad gpu overall.And why would running obs make my ingame fps drops?Isnt OBS streaming based on CPU?

downscaling is done on the GPU. There are numerous other things that are done in the GPUs memory as well. I didn't say it was a bad card, I said it was midranged meaning when streaming, there is very little reason to use max MSAA in game anyway.

your CPU doesn't drive your fps in games but it will drive the quality of your stream (CPU preset).

can you restart OBS and post a new log after streaming/gaming for 5 or more minutes?
