Question / Help Need help with High CPU encoding

[Charles Perry]

I need help on what setting I need to lower in order to stop getting high cpu encoding errors. I've lowered what I know that I can lower. I keep getting the issue though. I need some assistance.

Are you trying to stream or capture to disk? Because your settings are a little of column A and a little of column B. You need to be all in one column. Also, try to use game capture.

I do use game capture, and I am trying to stream.

Ok, get rid of your custom x264 command.

16:07:00: Total frames encoded: 4350, total frames duplicated: 2876 (66.11%)

This is really high, much higher than I'd expect for your game, CPU, resolution and preset. Try getting rid of your scene and webcam and just stream the game itself with nothing else, using game capture, to establish a benchmark for what performance you can expect to get in a best-case scenario. Post the OBS log file from that attempt. Make sure its at least 5 minutes long of high action content.
