Well this is the error message i get, but ONLY when im streaming with CrossFire enabled, i can play games normally when not streaming

Currently running a 8350 @ 4.6ghz
2x 7870's


As for quality questions, ive recently noticed another stream having a dramatic change in his stream quality, its absolutely perfect, theres almost no rendering delay of the game, all the motion is smooth, even in high action events

while my stream was more then fine for me, once i saw his i was definitely envious but im not sure what he changed to get it like that, because his use to look the same as mine a few months back

Ive tried using different presets, different quality settings, different filtering, also tried going beyond 60 up to 120 fps

CFX/SLI don't work well with streaming; in particular Game Capture is unreliable while on a CFX/SLI setup. What you may want to try as an alternative is making sure Aero is Enabled and then trying to replace any and all Game Captures with Window Captures.

Not sure that'd work but it might.

Additionally, have a look at the log yourself -- You may want to change the custom x264 parameter to lower case only. ;) It's not working like that. :P

Regarding quality -- Either go with Veryfast, Faster or Fast... don't pick Superfast or Ultrafast. I am not 100% sure but I would imagine that CPU of yours being able to stream at Fast, actually. Thing about Superfast and Ultrafast -- yes, they are faster but they also look quite a bit worse.

well i tried as youve said, everything is fine, with the exception that instead of receiving the error message ive posted before, my video signal just cuts out of me, the computer is still on, and everything is running, with the exception that theres no signal to the monitor, and tried unplugging and plugging the hdmi cable back into the computer, but its still registering as not putting out any video, i have to turn off the computer and turn it back on for the video to come back, and this does not happen while im not streaming, nor does it happen when i turn crossfire off

this is disheartening, i purchased a second card so i could run things better, its sad that i cant even use the damn thing, i would REALLY appreciate if there was some way to solve this issue

Is there maybe a way in the drivers to set OBS to use compatibility / single card only?

I know you would reaily appreciate it but it's really not a lie or a cop-out when I say: CFX is not fully supported by OBS... or any of a number of different pieces of software, including but not limited to a wide range of videogames.

It was a stab in the dark when I suggested Window Capture; a Hail-Mary-pass, if you will. It didn't work, there is nothing else left.

Have a look in Catalyst Control Center, in the CFX options. To see if there is some way to disable CFX specifically for OBS.

Yes, it would defeat the purpose. However, there is nothing more to be said other than CFX/SLI not being fully supported by OBS. Nor by many other programs, including but not limited to a wide range of videogames actually. It's not just OBS to which it causes issues.

If you absolutely must use Crossfire/SLI while streaming, your only real option is to look into a capture card. The way OBS (and basically any decent capture program) works will always mean CF/SLI will be problematic.
