Question / Help Huge frame drops with new graphic card

Hello all,

I recently changed my graphic card (from AMD R9 390 to GTX 1080) and when i try to record a game I have huge frame drops (~6 fps) and frame skipping while the game runs perfectly fine. It does this with all the games either an AAA or a regular one.

I did not use to have these problems with the R9 390.

Other recording softwares work just fine (Shadowplay and Action Mirilis), but I'm quite annoyed since OBS i my favourite one :(

Last information : i have a i5 4690k @4.4Ghz and I use hardware encoding.

EDIT : Here my CORRECT last log :

Current log : https://gist.github.com/67054ad1314b61c722f0e6da59c43f1b

Thank you very much

re-do a last log from a session where you attempted.

%appdata%\obs-studio\logs has them.

From the last log you provided, you're overloading your PC. Make sure you're capping FPS in your game so it's not using your entire CPU/GPU.

Code:
03:44:30.466: Output 'simple_file_output': Number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 2462 (28.5%)
03:44:30.467: Output 'simple_file_output': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 584 (6.8%)

Also, in all those logs you still have the AMD drivers installed. Try DDU: http://obsproject.com/forum/resources/performing-a-clean-gpu-driver-installation.65/

Hello,

It seems weird that I'm overloading my PC since I have the same issue with all the games (even the less demanding ones)...

And this log is after having removed the AMD drivers with DDU... :/

Also I do not have this issue with Mirilis for instance so I think that it's more software than hardware related no ?

Hm, all looks fine there. Running in the correct mode.

Use GPUz to monitor your GPU load both before and after opening OBS. Make sure your games are not maxing it out.
