Question / Help High CPU usage issue

[Sycogenesis]

I made this topic in another forum by accident so here it is. I read the post about it and none of it worked so my issue is i've been using these settings for months and now all of a sudden i 'm getting a high cpu usage issue and i can't seem to figure it out was wondering if someone could help me pin point it i'd be eternally grateful, helping me pinpoint my bitrate sweetspot would also be incredibly awesome http://pastebin.com/Pk0Rzrg1 < log file

http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/4742091560 my speeds jump from that to 80/60 60/40

I'm sorry but I cant see pastebins from here. would you use the method to upload the logfile from the help menu of OBS? greatly appreciated.

ok, first enable Aero both in OBS and use a windows enabled aero theme. set scene buffering to 700. dont use"Syncing audio to video time".

Start with that and post another log with you streaming for at least 5 minutes with full in-game movement.

I looked through everything i don't see a turn Aero on in OBs only the option to disable it and i am using a aero theme now but i don't see anything labled synced video to audio or w/e

 

[Sycogenesis]

I couldn't find the two options you asked for but i changed the buffering to 700 ran it for 5 mins i got crap ton of dropped frames https://gist.github.com/1c481d1fb5223edba20d https://gist.github.com/ddb8fca3e586d420cf8f turned the res down couldn't tell if it came up and then back at old settings with the 700 https://gist.github.com/35d422ebc6a2a7718f09

yeah, make sure disable aero is unchecked.

It says something like sync audio time or timestamps not to far from the scene buffering location.

Also, all of those logs still show Aero is disabled.

 

[Sycogenesis]

Yeah i turned that off and im still getting high cpuusage

do you have a logfile to reflect that? I'm only asking because if OBS says aero is disabled, game capture and sometimes window capture will use up much more CPU than necessary.


Make sure the logfile is from recording or streaming for at least 5 minutes of action.

Ok, im confused do you want aero disabled checked or not checked I was using 1080 at the time so ill do another 720 one but i want to make sure i have everything right , i unchecked forced audio to mono etc which is under buffering buffering is set to 700 i have a windows aero theme on but i am not sure if you want aero disabled checked or not

yeah, make sure disable aero is unchecked.

Aero needs to be enabled in the logs. uncheck disable aero and make sure you are using a aero enabed windows theme

 

[Sycogenesis]

ok, i got everything set then, i'l have a log up in 10 mins

Under the advanced tab, dont enable "Force desktop audio to use..." uncheck that

better. I see you changed that in the log. also, uncheck use mic timestamps.

rule of thumb, if you dont know what it does, dont touch it until you ask or do research. best research is done here.

no dropped frames, well under 1% duplicate frames. how was it running? also, uncheck use low latency. I ddn't catch that either

 

[Sycogenesis]

i didnt notice it but like i said it oftens pops up after hour or so and i cant find the low latency optipon

The next log ill post is when im done streaming fopr the night
