Hi OBS experts,
I hope you can help!

Got a two pc streaming setup:
Gaming PC: i7 6700K, 970(SLI), 16GB Ram
Streaming PC: i5 3570K, 16GB Ram, Elgato HD60 Pro Capture Card
OBS Settings on streaming pc: x264, 6000bit rate (log below)

Certain games, mainly Black Ops 4, stutter a bit when playing, surely this setup is good enough to blast this out at 720/60?
I was wondering if my lack of no GPU in the streaming machine is making a difference, even though it should be mainly cpu bound?

Log uploaded using OBS: https://hastebin.com/jicatahubu
Example of the stream: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/328010868 (Ignore the double sound, I was trying to watch it back on 2nd monitor)

I hope one of you clever peeps can suss this or at least confirm my thoughts!

Thanks in advance,

Zim

You're looking at the game's output on the gaming machine, and the streaming machine registers no log. The likely cause of lag is GPU overload on the gaming machine, where OBS is not getting enough GPU to capture and send the NDI feed to your stream machine. So the stream machine is sending what it is getting, but the footage it is getting already has the stutter in it, possibly? Because the stream machine does not appear to be lagging at all.

At what fps is the game running? If it is running at 120 fps or more, the capture card might not be able to pick up every frame. Just to rule that in or out, limit the game to 60 fps and see what happens with the stutter in the stream.
