Question / Help Need a hero to fix this... (Stream/obs lag...)

[SBWgaming]

Hello there.

I have a massive problem here, My stream lag the F out. Im gonna post a video to show what is happening and the log from that test stream too (Video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aKRE_aCcoo&feature=youtu.be)

Im running 2x 980s in sli and a i7 6800k oc to 4.2ghz.
But i had the problem before my cpu change from a i7 4790k also at 4.2 ghz.

the rest of my specs is.
32gb of DDR4 Ram.
And a asus rog strix x99 motherboard.

(Side note)
My up and down are - 300down and 60up and im streaming to the stokholm server (20-22 ping)

If you need any more info just say it :)
and thanks for looking into it.

I'm not a pro when it comes to spotting problems in logs but it seems like you are dropping frames in OBS which shouldnt be happening. Try and run the stream on veryfast instead of fast and see if it makes any kind of difference, also just for the sake of this little test put your bitrate on 2500 and remove a buffer and also set it to 30fps in the video settings. Get back to me what happens.

But you are totally right your setup should definitely not be experiencing lag!

FYI:
Your CPU https://ark.intel.com//products/94189/Intel-Core-i7-6800K-Processor-15M-Cache-up-to-3_60-GHz
It has only 28 PCI Express lanes
so, one of your GPUs is not 16x, just 8x PCI (half the power)

Your GPUZ shows onecard @16x. The other will be @8x

i7 4790k has only 16 PCIexpress lanes. So, 2 GPUS SLI will set each one @8x
---------------------------------

You are running OBS on your 16x GPU, but games render frames on both cards.
I think you need to check Multi adapter compatiility, if not set.




1280x720x60FPS Preset FAST

22:56:47.531: Output 'adv_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 95 (0.5%) -> GPU at its limits
22:56:47.531: Output 'adv_stream': Number of dropped frames due to insufficient bandwidth/connection stalls: 149 (0.8%) --> Network issues

So, move preset to FASTER.

Buffer size : do not set any value.
Tune: don´t use any option

The only thing is my game and obs lags out when i use Multi adapter compatiility

Oki i have some news. After testing without sli it worked, and it has probably something to do with one card running x16 and the other x8. Is there ANY way i can make this work while using sli doing streams? and Multi adapter compatiility dont work have tested it.

SLI setups are a royal pain in the ass on their good days. Probably not much you can do about it.

So i need to get myself one gpu or a cpu with 40lanes so both are running at 16x? there are no software i can use to capture the gameplay and then send it to obs for streaming? or is there any capturecard that can capture 1440p with 60fps?

Honestly, having SLI in general is going to cause you more headaches than it's worth.

If you MUST deal with that sort of setup you probably need to go with a mid to high end blackmagic brand card.
