Question / Help NVENC Settings

[iPone]

I have looked around some but have been unable to find how to stream using NVENC. What settings need to be changed to do this? I've read that this lowers the load on your CPU greatly because it uses your graphics card instead. My main issue with streaming is that I've been getting random FPS drops due to the CPU load. I stream World of Tanks which only runs on one CPU core.
Here are my (important) system specs:
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 650
CPU: AMD FX(tm)-8120 Eight-Core Processor 3.1 GHz
Memory: 8 GB RAM

So do I just need to check the box that says "Use Nvidia NVENC" or what? Do I need to run GeForce Experience? Do I need to change the "x264 CPU Preset" or anything? (I have been running using ultrafast or superfast)
It's just annoying to be running the game at 80+FPS and then randomly drop to ~15FPS for a while.

Thanks a lot for the help.

Yes simply check the box in "Advanced" that says "Use Nvidia NVENC". I've seen around the forums to use the "NVENC Preset" "High Quality Low Latency" option.

Also if that option is grayed out it simply means your GPU doe not support that option.

All you need are the latest NVIDIA drivers and a Kepler GPU (600 series or later, but note that *some* versions of the 630 don't have NVENC)

Thank you. I tried streaming for a bit but was still getting some random fps drops. I'll try tweaking some more settings and see if I can get it to work better.

For me the CBR setting is bugged, decheck that and the lags are gone, it seems to ignore the bitrate setting when set to CBR.

Try High Performance preset instead of Low Latency whatever.
