Dear forum volunteers,

Thanks for the great work. The Internet wouldn't be so wonderful without such folk taking time to help each other.

I don't understand how come I get so much frame lag. I understand that my system is much beefier than it needs to be to run at the settings that I have set.

I'm hoping that someone can take a quick glance and see the issue right away.

Well, it used to work fine at 60fps 1080p on speed, but I've now set it to 60fps 720p on quality and seems fair enough that I figure I'll settle with that.

Still, it used to work so smoothly.

Troubleshooting done included making sure that game mode was off and having the V C++ redis as listed in the troubleshooting guide for obs-amd-encoder.

14:16:48.056: Output 'adv_file_output': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 29291 (82.7%)

GPU overload.

https://obsproject.com/wiki/GPU-overload-issues

You're overloading your encoder... which in this case is also your GPU since you're using AMF:

13:40:07.997: Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 4029/4131 (97.5%)

Make sure that game mode is off.

Make sure that your GPU is in the right slot, properly seated, and is getting the full PCI bandwidth it should be getting.

:32:22.690: Loaded scenes:
13:32:22.690: - scene 'Scene':
13:32:22.690: - source: 'OW' (game_capture)
13:32:22.690: - source: 'Rocket League' (game_capture)
13:32:22.690: - source: 'PUBG' (game_capture)
13:32:22.690: - source: 'APEX' (game_capture)
13:32:22.690: - source: 'TitanFall2' (game_capture)
13:32:22.690: - source: 'TD2' (game_capture)
13:32:22.690: - source: 'MHW' (game_capture)
13:32:22.690: - source: 'CSGO' (game_capture)

You should generally have only one game capture per scene. Multiple captures in the same scene can interfere. You can either use one per scene and reconfigure on a per-game basis, or use separate scenes or scene collections for different games.

An update for progress record. Issue still being worked on.
Thank you for the reply Narcogen.

Things left to try as recommended by Narcogen:
1. I'll have to try one source at a time per scene and see if it works out.
2. Pull out the card and re-seat it.

Game mode is definitely off, and bandwidth looks good.

I cleaned the contacts on the GPU and reseated it, and I set one game per scene.

I'm getting very few dropped frames now.

I wonder if I can go back to 1080p 60fps again though.

Great progress was made. Thank you, Narcogen.
