Hello Guys
Yesterday I tried to stream for the first time. Normally I play CS:GO with a capped FPS on 300. (Yesterday I swapped out my Gtx 770 with an gtx 1070)
When I started streaming I obtained almost the same fps - but my stream was a bit blurry when moving. Specially around my crosshair.

My Bitrates are 3500
and I downscale the stream to 720p.
My connection speed is 150down 40 upload.

My question is; Can my i7 4770 + Gtx 1070 handle each other - or is it the reason why its blurry? I mean if its bottlenecking each other.

Or is it my OBS settings?

Sorry for my bad english.

Brother it is very viable! you can stream at 720p 60fps playing Battlefield 4 no problems!! I'm running 3770k and wish i had the money to afford a new mobo and your processor but i do not work and very poor. You have a perfect processor for streaming! If you are streaming with OBS and Windows 10 you will run into some performance issues though, the performance decrease is almost x2 while running under windows 10 then win7 or win8.1 .

OBS needs some spare GPU power to render properly, regardless of how much CPU overall is being used. The fact that Microsoft reworked their DirectX on launch day of Windows 10 is showing more frame drops under GPU load. You need to lower the GPU usage by capping the FPS or enabling Vsync with the refresh rate set to 60Hz.

So what you are saying is, that windows 10 is garbage for streaming?
Thanks alot for the reply mate.

Im not sure I understand your answer correct. Do you mean that I need to outscale the Hz in my stream OBS settings? Since im playing on 144hz on my screen.

Or you mean I need to lower my FPS cap ingame (csgo) to have it not blurry?

I quoted the user who mentioned the FPS issues despite low CPU usage. The first part of the post was for you to post a complete logfile as to why the stream is blurry.

Is this confirmed? Or is it personal experience?

There are no issues with OBS and Windows 10. He's talking nonsense and applying his own personal issues to the entire Windows 10 ecosystem.

I run Windows 10, and don't have any issues with OBS. I record in 4k, and stream 1080p.

Even while pushing the GPU to the max? Such as in GPU-bounded benchmarks like Unigine and 3DMark? I mean even many users with single GTX 1080s are experiencing the dips on GPU load but with Vsync enabled/framerate limited reducing the load it goes without a hitch.

This user mentioned me in this thread and he has a GTX 1080: https://obsproject.com/forum/thread...ge-inconsistent-fps-in-obs.63115/#post-273333

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I upgraded to a GTX 1060 before the end of 2016. It's making OBS do better even while loading the GPU but I don't know how users with better GPUs than mine are experiencing worse rendering lags when GPU is under load than me. I'm using 376.53 on the Nvidia drivers just to note.

EDIT 2: Still have some rendering lags on some games (For Honor Open Beta for example, which kind of dipped to 58fps in display capture alone in 1080p60, Game Capture on For Honor kept 60 but the frame pacing might have been jumpy hence it didn't look 60fps-ish) but as mentioned it's not as severe as users with better GPUs than mine. Will post logs on it soon.

EDIT 3: For some reason, I forgot to record For Honor on Game Capture, but I'm assuming this log can show the frame pacing on Display Capture. This is on ultra settings, borderless in 1080p, no motion blur, SMAA, Vsync disabled. Only single-digit lagged frames which is very miniscule. Will submit one involving Game Capture later on to see if it's the frametimes.
