Question / Help FPS drop, laggy stream

drummerguy59 · Jan 22, 2014

Ok so I have messed around with my settings for the past week or so and still i'm having problems with my FPS in game and overall stream lag/dropped frames.

Would appreciate any type of help at all. If it matters, the game i'm streaming right now is Skyrim PC/Steam, and I have settings all on low and still encounter FPS drops/lagging on stream. But when i'm not streaming (and playing skyrim) I have no problems at all.

Specs:

16GB ram
AMD 4100 Quad core processor
Radeon 6700 graphics card
35 download speed
5.50 upload speed

-You dropped a minimal amount amount of frames at 1500 kbps first disable "Minimize network impact" and if that doesn't help illuminate the issue also reduce the bitrate to like 1400kbps or 1300kbps.

-Since you're playing and capturing the game in windowed mode you must enable "windows aero" back to help with performance you must also set your obs base resolution back to "1440x900" since stretching the image to a different aspect ratio is never a good idea.. Finally you might also want to drop to a 1.5 downscale to give your CPU a little less hard time while encoding.

Just changed some settings around, but i'm still having problems with FPS drops in game, and now i'm having dropped frames for some reason.

Dropped frames are unrelated, just means fairly common network or connectivity issues. It says in your log you're using both window and game capture. Is that correct? Are they capturing different things? Outside of that, your logs look decent.

Little lacking in the CPU department though. Your CPU only has two physical cores.

Yes they are capturing different things.
Game capture for Skyrim, the window capture for an app for my stream.

So from your post, i'm probably needing an upgrade? I'm not very knowledgeable with computers, but would you be talking about a new processor, motherboard, graphics card? I don't know what physical cores are really lol, sorry.

I'm actually saving up right now to get a new processor though.

On the second log we can see that you've actually increased your bitrate from the suggested 1300 to 2000kbps this is the main reason why your OBS started dropping frames again. You might also want to downscale a little bit more than 1.5 if you're still experiencing in game lag.

If your CPU has only "2 cores" it means that it has only lets say 2 hands to handle the tasks that OBS and Skyrim requires which is simply not enough these days. So I would say you need a CPU upgrade if you want to game and stream comfortably on the same computer.

Also, from my own testing Skyrim seems to not like it when Aero is disabled. I put a quick back to back comparison on one of my mod testing sessions, beginning of the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sy_u8h12drw . The whole session was recorded with Aero off, before realizing what was happening, so it's choppy. I kind of wish I had an FPS counter going for a better comparison, might do that soon-ish. I do have a later mod testing session recorded where I have an FPS counter off and on, and with Aero enabled during that session the FPS mostly holds at 60 (with some drops to 40-50 in populated or visually dense areas, likely due to ENB that I don't normally use, but was part of my testing)

Question / Help FPS drop, laggy stream
