Question / Help Framerate in OBS is hardly ever constant.
- Thread starter DJS
- Start date
@Mario345 Please don't spread misinformation, 20.0.1 is perfectly fine. There is only an issue with the new network code when using the AMD encoder.
@DJS If possible, post a log from a session that highlights the problem, your log seems to show an awful lot going on (capture card and game capture both active, multiple x264 attempts at slow presets, auto configs, etc). Open OBS, start recording until the problem occurs, stop recording, then "Upload current log".

Alright, I still stream at 30fps because I have viewers who cant watch 60fps right now with the ambition to do 60fps in the future. While streaming at 30fps there are visible stutters during the stream but only every so often, but if i change to 60fps it's constantly missing frames.
The log is 720p60fps, veryfast, 3000kbps although I usually stream medium-slow cause the cpu can handle it.
One thing though, I have a lot of scenes within scenes, could this be the problem? It's the only way for me to group my cam border and the cam for example. I also have all my game captures in one scene called game.
From testing I noticed that if i had the Firefox scene enabled but Firefox actually closed the "time to render" would go much higher. During the whole time the time to render never peaked above the 33.333 for 30fps or 16.666 for 60fps (Am i right there?) at least from what I could see from the stats box.

Please provide the exact location in the github repo where this issue is introduced.
OBS uses FFmpeg for nvenc, and we have not changed or updated FFmpeg in that time.
You've been warned multiple times now to stop spreading misinformation based on your own, specific, isolated issues. Consider this a final warning.
even though im not spreading misinfo harold doesnt help much also the nvidia coder doesnt work correctly with the new networking code so i dont care if you ban me as you can tell everyone is having issues with 20.0.1, and the part of the github post said were looking into issues with amd and other encoders that are having issues with the new networking code or whatever so yeah maybe tell harold to be more helpful

Looking at the log, it appears something is causing your GPU to become overloaded. Have you used a tool like GPUz to watch GPU load?
Also, you can use GPUz to verify that the card is running in the correct mode. Take a screenshot of the main tab and post it here (there's a button in GPUz that will screenshot itself).

Ok, sorry for the delay here.
To start, let's try a few tests and see if I'm on the right track.
Create a new scene collection (not scene, scene COLLECTION. Menu at the top of OBS).
Add ONLY the game capture source, and make a sample recording of the game itself with no other sources.
Get that log and upload.
