Question / Help Need help achieving a 60fps stream (DOTA 2)

[DrunkenJedi]

Hi,

I have an i5 4670k (not overclocked), a 7970 and 8gb of RAM.

I play DOTA 2 in 1920x1080 with all settings at max.

I can stream anything at max and get great in-game framerates but only streaming at 30fps. I'd like to be able to stream DOTA 2 60fps

My problem is that when I set it to 60 it feels... Juddery. Yeah, juddery when I move. I had task manager up and when I dragged the camera around the minimap my cpu usage went up to 90-ish. Turning my cpu fan up from min to max speed changed nothing, it still felt juddery as fuck. There's also a spectator thingy where you can smoothly move the camera and where before it was only bad during faster camera movements with this it is *consistently* juddery and unwatchable.

Is it my settings or can my cpu not handle streaming at that framerate, even a source game?

Here are the vods of my attemps: http://www.twitch.tv/mrdrunkenjedi/profile/pastBroadcasts

Thanks

I tried 60 fps and also 30 fps.

At 4 minutes in I start using a smooth control type thingy where it glides. Except that instead of gliding it feels juddery. That can't happen.

Have you tried using the default preset of very fast? Which is a default preset for some reason? :) Also, you probably have to downscale to 720p to do 60fps, maybe better 30 fps, but that you have to test.

It does not really surprise me that the faster preset with full hd resolution is causing some juddery feelings on an i5 cpu.

I've done some tinkering and it's now a lot better - here's the log

With that it's pretty much no jitter. Thanks!
