Question / Help Laggy/ FPS drop

[turbodi3s3l]

I am new to streaming and downloaded obs studio. I am having an issue when I stream, game is laggy and does not run smooth. I have watched a bunch of different videos and read a lot online and i still cannot figure out why it is like that. internet is 10-11 upload and bandwidth is 10000+ according to the twitch server key lookup. Computer has i7-6500U.
Graphics card- Intel Hd 520 and NIVDIA 930M. I know it isnt the best but I would think that it would still produce a good video. Thanks

Your CPU can´t encode 1920x1080x60FPS

Rescale to 720p 30 FPS

Video settings

Canvas 1920x1080
Rescale 1280x720
30 FPS
Rescale filter Bicubic

Output settings:
Do not check rescale.

I changed settings and I will give this another go. Thanks for your help, I will post another log on this thread when after I test.

Strem using CBR not VBR


If lag, mayb you can try using NVENC and encode with your GPU if your graphics card supports it.

How can i use NVENC and encode it with my GPU? Thanks

 

[EBrito]

Output settings, encoder dropdwn menu.

If not present, then your card does not support NVENC.

Here is my run with CBR as streaming

 

[turbodi3s3l]

I can select NVENC H264 but when i click on start streaming it does not do anything. It will start the stream. Thanks for all your help.

 

[EBrito]

Try updating graphics card drivers.

 

[turbodi3s3l]

Updated drivers and restarted my laptop and under NVENC the start streaming button still does not work.

 

[turbodi3s3l]

I do have the drop option under encoder for quicksync

 

[EBrito]

So, unfortunately, your card does not support NVENC

Try x264 CBR 2000 - 2500
1280x720 30 fps

If lag, preset : change from veryfast to superfast.

 

[EBrito]

If quicksync appears as an option: you are running OBS in your Intel HD Graphics, not in your Nvidia card.
In this case, I think you have to use game capture with multiadapter compatibility. This is not optimal for game capture
