I have 2x e2680's

I can not even get 1080/60 @ 6000kbps to play back smooth yet there's no encoding lag, network lag, etc.
The stream just plays back choppy.
Also set threads to 8/16/32 tested them all, and all came back with same results.
Even disabled NUMA

Even on very fast, it still does it.
Am I missing something here to get it to work? Cause these are still fantastic CPU's but something is not adding up here.
Thanks.
 
Can you post a log file? That would really help, you shouldn't really be having this problem, you can set NUMA to Closest Cores for your interface you should be OK...anyway Log file will tell more details... :)
 
I'm not seeing anything on first glance that suggests anything, you did have a little network problems going on, but nothing significant or long lasting. Can you post a link to your playback or upload a file for me to watch? Thanks!
 
So we worked to get realm royale going first, which isn't very demanding at all, but... If you look at the fortnite ones you will see the issue with nothing changed, then each video is me adjusting thread count, or rate it processing it, etc.

You will see what happens.

p.s. This happened a lot in past before but we are just now tired of fiddling with it for a specific game every time, as it shouldn't be like this.

That is more than likely the problem. Is the SLI something that can be disabled? Otherwise in Game Capture, Select the SLI/Crossfire box and see if this helps.
 
SLI is not the problem as the Xeon PC is just for capturing through NDI to Encode to twitch.
So don't think thats an issue there, as it just wouldn't make sense, as also remember it's a dual GPU card so while I can disable SLI maybe it may not work out.

Will try though later on, but @Boildown, any chance you got any custom parameters going on? Since specs are near the same? Or some screenshots I can make sure that are the same?

No capture card is being used, Just NDI since I shouldn't need it.

Just want to get this working!

Not with OBS Studio, I just set Medium and the rest is on the defaults. I have NUMA and Hyperthreading both disabled though in the BIOS. I did use some custom settings in OBS Classic and I sometimes still use OBS Classic (because of the Datapath plugin), but for OBS Studio I don't.
 
It may be your LAN isn't capable to transport the NDI data stream flawlessly. Or the sending PC.
To rule out NDI, try this: add a good and smooth running pre-recorded high quality video file from the local harddisk as video source in your streaming PC and record/broadcast this instead of the NDI source. If this is running good and without being choppy, you have to look into the NDI setup/the sending PC/the LAN connection.

already tried that, It's perfect.
 
@ForceFedFlesh What do you mean with "it's perfect"? Is the recording+broadcasting of the local video flawless or does it suffer the same problems as your ndi broadcasts?

Sorry, I misunderstood I will try this out later on and come back, First gonna try the disable SLI as mentioned just to be sure, as the SLI only is for a capture which the Stream pc only is taking NDI and can't do "SLI BOX" as the main pc has a GTX 1080, While stream pc has 690.

Then the next step would be trying to local record as you said.

By this, do you mean, Record something for a few minutes on main pc, then stop it, transfer it to stream PC then use that capture of the local recording toi stream and see what happens?
 
Yes, you can do this or you can use any video file that has about the same graphics complexity as the stuff you want to broadcast. It's just a substitute source for recording that isn't going to stress your network. You can also capture some fullscreen-played youtube video and capture this.
 
Just tried disabling SLi and the above methods, been awhile since been able to try.

Still same issues...
Will try to upload logs in a little bit
