Question / Help Looking for a little advice

Maelas · Sep 15, 2013

How can you tell how well my CPU is doing from this log, im able to see where it tells me what my cpu is, but not seeing its performance anywhere.

Im actually playing Guild Wars 2. While playing and streaming, the performance monitor tells me im consistantly anywhere from 80-100% cpu utlilization.

your render times are below 5 ms its approx 1.x and 2.x as far as i've seen on your logs

and for your gpu you have almost no late frames just a few and thats normal

uhm use the 64bit version of obs (found in your obs folder)

and maybe try the current madness build (beta) since you are using cfr and some have weird issues with it following to this forum on the latest version

*edit* just rewatched your logs and there are some really high render times which is actually surprising your cpu shouldnt have problems with pulling 720@60 since i didnt even have problems on my i5 2500k well it was quite heavy overclocked but still.

you might try using your 720@48

and i just realised that i keep messing up your 1280x800 with 1280x720 and say 720p instead of 800p ... but kinda too lazy to change it so therefore i write even more DOE :D

also you dropped some frames might consider using 3000bitrate instead of 3500 but this might due to twitch streaming league worlds right now with 350k+ viewers

Ok will do. I will update once Twitch stops acting goofy due to the league of legends competition going on.

Maelas · Sep 15, 2013

BTW, arent we supposed to use CFR? My understanding is that twitch requires this.

alpinlol · Sep 15, 2013

yup if i read the beta updates right its going to be default on later versions of obs anyway but there have been some issues with the latest version causing weird problems for some people

in my case i didnt even have to use cfr to get the excellent rating by twitch because i got stable +/- 2 frames whenever i check my vod's with http://r-1.ch/analyze-twitch-vod.php

i guess thats enough for twitch with keyframe interval set to 2

oddly it doesnt change anything in my vod's if i check them because i always have some ups and downs in frames but they are really low theres never a real drop

Alrighty, btw thanks for the helpful insight. I know it can be a pain to respond to people like me always asking for advice like this.

alpinlol · Sep 15, 2013

actually prefer to have a kind of an conversation which quite short reaction times on answers its just easiert to interact while others need like 1 days+ which is sometimes really sad since they want people to help them :/

Maelas · Sep 15, 2013

Well im a very patient person.

I have noticed something. I think i fixed my Game Capture issue...Seems AVG Anti virus saw something OBS does as a threat so i allowed it and now works fine. Also, in full window mode, i get 60 FPS while in Fullscreen i get 50 -60. Its very weird. Every forum is saying to run in fullscreen as the performance is better for the game. But they dont mention a stream so it may work differently.

Keep in mind im only previewing my stream. I will do another test and actually stream to see if there is yet another difference.

Maelas · Sep 15, 2013

Ok, i seem to be a few more FPS in full windowed mode while streaming. However in heavily populated areas, in windowed mode, the game stutters a bit (as expected), FPS drops a bit as well but i still stay between 30 and 55 fps and my bitrate jumps all over the place. In Fullscreen mode, the game play is a bit better even in the heavily populated area, FPS seems to be a little worse, itll drop as low as 18fps but then jump back up again, however my bitrate seems to level out and stay in the green.

This is odd lol.

This is the most recent log. My CPU load is still up there but this is because of OBS, when im not using it, my cpu load stays around 50 - 70 % in the high traffic area of the game which i think is normal..

alpinlol · Sep 15, 2013

well the gw2 engine is also as poorly designed as the wow engine thats why the game literally starts freaking out in high populated areas and drops your ingame frames like crazy therefore all you can do is drop your game settings quite a bit.

you also might as i already said to try using the custom x264 command of opencl=true and maybe even drop your encoding fps to 48 for some odd reason gw2 is pretty demanding on your system never had such a load on my it 2500k :/

another question do you monitor your cpu temps? because you seriously shouldnt have any performance issue with that system when you are "only" streamin 800@60 since its less demanding on your system than 1200@30 (in your case obviously)

for some reason i think your cpu is getting quite hot and starts to throttle down

Maelas · Sep 16, 2013

Yes i do happen to monitor the temps, and they never get higher than 42 C. Thats what makes this odd. However, it could all just be in my head. from my understanding, my streams look good, i may just be being picky.

the thing is, even though my cpu shows a high load like this, the gameplay is still flawless on my end. Which makes me think its only showing a high load because its working an doing its things which requires all of the CPU at that time. Then again, im not sure if it works like that.

As far as the game stuttering in high populated areas, i do undertsand this is normal and happens to everyone.

But as far as the CPU utilization; I pretty much get the same load on my CPU, its just OBs causing the extra load usually. So im thinking upgrading my CPU may be in order...maybe.

However it is still odd to me that windowed mode presents a better fps than fulscreen. Ill just have to do some more tinkering around. Im going to also try that 264 command as well to see what happens there.

Question / Help Looking for a little advice
