Question / Help [LOL] FPS Drops

[k0as]

Hi Obs-Team,

first of all thank you for this handy application! I love it <3

BTT: Normally when i play LOL i have about 70 ~ 85 Fps.
When start streaming with OBS my FPS drops to 25 ~ 30.
This is pretty hard to play though :D

A: your GPU is crap. old, and underpowered.
more iportantly, you're trying to stream on wifi.... generally not a good idea.
plug it in, lower the fps to 30...

Actually that CPU is not that bad -- it's a Sandy Bridge i7 (albeit mobile), which should be plenty powerful enough for that resolution/frame rate. The issue he is having is that he is using Monitor capture with Aero enabled. He needs to either disable Aero, or better yet, not use Monitor capture at all. It's better to stick with Game capture for in-game and Window capture when out of game. There are a couple plugins that let you automatically switch between the two.

I also tried capturing the LOL-Client with Gamecapture but Twich TV then shows a freeze frame :/
Thats why i switched to monitor-capture.

@commissar0617: Dude this Laptop is pretty awesome :D
powerfull macchine and its protable :) but whatever
And my Wifi is pretty powerfull!

BTT: I also tryed capturing with Quick Sync but there might be some Hardware problem that dell has with the GT540M inside :/

Whats ur proposal to get things going ?

PEACE

 

[alpinlol]

the real problem is something completly different

01:55:42: Aero is Enabled
01:55:42: Using directshow input
01:55:42: Using graphics capture
01:55:42: Using Monitor Capture

if you want to use monitor capture disable aero and make sure the scene is pretty much empty except for the monitor capture source

i was talking GPU, but yeah. you could probably just put the game cap lower in order than the window cap, and leave both on.
