Hi all,
I'm actively trying to hunt down a likely GPU bottleneck or misconfiguration with my setup when I stream and would love some eyes on my recent log files for possible ways to address this.
Problem: I can see in my local recordings that the video quality fluctuates between crystal-clear and pixelated throughout my stream. Reading through posts here and via the Goog suggests I may need to make some adjustments or reductions in sources etc, or possibly upgrade some hardware, which I'm currently in a position to do if necessary.
Attached are log files from my most recent stream, which is the scene collection with the most amount of sources, as well as another log file from a week ago, a scene collection with the minimal amount of sources. The problem still occurs in the more minimal scene collection, but not nearly as frequently.
Some additional info that may be helpful, which is not listed in the log files: I use 2 external monitors (both res set at 1920x1280) connected through a Dell TB16 dock connected through a Thunderbolt3 port on my (Dell Precision 7530) laptop, as well as 2 webcams connected through an Anker USB 3.0 powered 10-port hub which is connected via the TB16 dock. I have onboard Intel graphics disabled at the BIOS level, so everything is running through the discrete GPU. The log file from the "max scenes and sources" uses both webcams, 2 window captures and a Spout 2 capture, with each capture set to deactivate when not in use. The "minimal scenes and sources" log file only has 1 window capture and a Spout 2 capture, no webcams, and each set to deactivate when not in use.
Considerations - I have been running different scenes, each with a window capture or a Spout 2 capture, concurrently, deactivating them when not in a particular scene; if I need to just pick one and remove the other sources that may be helpful. But if my log files suggest there may be an issue elsewhere in my configuration I would love to know. Thanks so much!
