Question / Help Laggy Stream despite good PC/connection

[SEEKIN]

Hey guys,

just wanted to stream couple of days ago. Suddenly I can't get it to stream the full 60 FPS. It's switching between 20 and 58. Maybe you can find a mistake in my settings, but the worked 2 months ago. Haven't changed anything.

System:

i7-6900k
32GB RAM
GTX 1080

Got a 450/20 connection so it should be fine.

You are getting rendering lags (Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 436 (6.3%)

What is your CPU usage in OBS, and what is your CPU usage in the game you are playing?

I can also see this error for your webcam.

Could you try and make a scene with only game capture to see if your webcam or monitor capture is causing problems.

Hey, thanks for your input.

I tried a scene with only the game capture. The results were the same.

As for the CPU usage it's ~25% OBS, 30% Overwatch. So that shouldn't be the problem.

I tried XSplit, just for fun: Got the same problem there. I'm a bit confused right now.

Can not really detect anything that should be a problem. What u can do is try and change the qualitysettings and se if it even is a performance issue. If the problem persist even at lower bitrate and resolution maby you should look in to other programs on the computer.

Try changing the canvas from 1440p to 720p so there is no extra downscaling. Change fps to 30 lower bitrate to 3000 and use Very fast preset.

What else you can do is to uninstall/unplug hardware as webcam etc to se if you are having a bug in the system somwhere. Myself are having alot of performance issues with OBS that should not be there, so it might be either a hidden setting, memory leak or broken drivers...
