Hi there, I've recently switched over to an NDI-based streaming setup and need opinions and possibly advice on how to give my stream the best visual quality bang for its visual quality buck. The specs of the streaming PC are as such:
MOBO: Gigabyte H110M
RAM: 16GB DDR4
CPU: Intel i5-6600k, overclocked to 3.9Ghz
GPU: Nvidia GTX 960
The problem I'm having is that despite now having a dedicated computer for streaming, I can't seem to actually make use of the extra headroom using NDI gives me. My settings are as such:
And the attached log file is from a stream done on the NDI streaming PC with these settings. As you might see in the log file (not sure), it feeds me 'encoding overloaded' and I drop frames even when doing the most minor of camera movements. However, I get the same results even when dropping down the bitrate to say 6Mbps. My PC temperatures are fine and there are no other programs running at all on the streaming PC.
It should not be this way, should it? These settings aren't that intense, especially for a dedicated streaming PC, are they? Can anyone give me advice on what to change or what could be causing this?
edit: Also, something that may be relevant, I DO have a capture card I could use instead if necessary. So if that would give me better quality with less CPU overhead, let me know, currently I have no idea!
