Do you have the Intel HD graphics drivers installes on your computer?
Click to expand...

Yes but not the one from Intels website since that one looks older, I have 9.18.10.3071 while on Intels website they have 9.17.10.3071 which is odd.

Re: OBS 0.52.03 toast build - quicksync

EDIT: I'll leave the OP down bellow, but my problem was resolved by updating to the latest Intel drivers :) Turns out I had version 8.xx :D

EDIT2: After testing various resolutions, framerates and bitrates, I have to say I am impressed! The results are very good when you are facing a situation where there isnt much processing power left in the CPU to handle video encoding at the same time with the gameplay. I can completely live with the quality levels considering the massive performance gains. Good job! :)

Original Post:
Hello!

I turn to you guys for help. I was happy to see that you are implementing QuickSync and was eager to give this test build a go. However, after two hours of fiddling with the settings, it's just not working for me. Things I'd like to note:

  • I have an i5-2500K - QuickSync works fine (tested multiple times) with Mirillis Action!
  • I do use Virtu and as stated above, it works with other software. I tried adding OBS.exe to the list of Virtu programs, this resultedt in the virtu logo popping up in the stream preview window, but judging by the log files, the actual encoding is still not done by QuickSync. I also tried it without OBS.exe present in the Virtu programs list, didn't work either.
  • I have tried both 64bit and 32bit versions, neither worked.
  • I have a secondary monitor connected to the onboard VGA port, no need to "fake" one (But I did try it with the secondary monitor disconnected, removed, and I also created a "fake" one, but in none of the cases was I able to get QuickSync to work).
  • Here is a sample of the log file:

Re: OBS 0.52.03 toast build - quicksync

Perfect!
I have an I5-3210M
720p@60fps present slow laptop uses 2.9GHZ (70%-100%)
with QuickSync
720p@60fps present slow laptop uses 1.8GHZ (10%-20%)
@EDIT:

With QuickSync OBS encoding bitrate 1000kbps (325kbps max)
Without bitrate was 325kbps and still better quality. I hope that you will fix it. ^^

@Edit2: QuickSync ignore my settings and OBS encoding CBR 1k.... ;/

Re: OBS 0.52.03 toast build - quicksync

Quicksync ignores your x264 presets since it's not x264 doing the encoding. The quality of Quicksync is somewhere between veryfast and superfast.

Thank you.

But min. bitrate for Qucik Sync is 1k? When I changed for 1.5k everything was ok.
Is it bug OBS or "Quick Sync's technology" ?

The 1805 and 1908 BIOS versions for the ASUS z77 chipset Sabertooth motherboard currently have issues with detecing the integrated GPU and thus QSV will not work with those driver versions. (apparently BIOS versions prior to this will work, but I haven't tested it)

I have http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8Z77V_DELUXE/ and I tried the bioses all the way back to 1504.. they all seem to fail.. sure it's the bios?

Re: OBS 0.52.03 toast build - quicksync

Finally got a chance to test it.
1080p, 60fps (but by some strange reason planetside was lagging, even without full load on CPU/GPU. Can game capture cause this?)
In that case, i used game capture on planetside 2 with streaming to my server and then restreaming to twitch and hashd.
It works surprisingly good.
Before that i was able to stream on 1080p only on high setting, and with constant 100% CPU load.
After i switched to QSV, i was able to enjoy full-ultra settings and there still was CPU to spare! Around 10-20% on each core!
(I have i5-3570k @ 4.5ghz)

However there is some strange stuff in logs, see here.
What's interesting is spam of "Error: all encode tasks in use, stalling pipeline" message. Is that normal?
On the other side, notice "number of frames that lagged: 66 (0.04%)". While on CPU-based encoding i had around 2% of lags.
Also i does not know if QSV cares about CBR/Bitrate/Quality. I just used same settings i used when i was on CPU-based encoding.

Ah, and here is that stream recording

Re: OBS 0.52.03 toast build - quicksync

still no fix for the Arma 2 bug? Jim said it might be in the 0.52.05 build. I've just tried it and Arma 2 still shows up black, using game capture

Re: OBS 0.52.03 toast build - quicksync

Can someone explain this please..?

From what the log tells me with "Failed to initialize QSV hardware session" .. you'd think it wasn't working, but the screenshot makes me think it kinda does..or?

MvGyFba.jpg


The first part of the graph, the low bit is with QSV enabled, the second half with higher CPU usage is without QSV enabled in OBS.. the dip in CPU usage in the second half is a loading screen as I changed from one area in the game to another...

Re: OBS 0.52.03 toast build - quicksync

rlex: QSV only cares about bitrate, cbr/vbr, cfr and buffer - do note though that the buffer is capped at around 3300 (can remember the exact value since palana seems to have removed that line from the logs but it was around 3500 somewhere).
Preset doesnt do anything and neither do any x264 custom settings (duh obviously, its qsv instead).

About the stalling, are you 100% sure planetside isnt running on the igpu instead? The HD4000 (and even the 3000) shouldnt have any problems with 1080p60fps. In fact i even got my hd3000 to output 1080p120fps for a testrun (THATS when i got 30%~ lagged frames thoug heh)

Yep i'm sure. I does not have anything connected to iGPU and i doubt HD4000 can handle PS2 on ultra. Also i saw GPU load peaking to 100% sometimes, and my app can only read GPU data from nvidia cards.

Re: OBS 0.52.03 toast build - quicksync

So how much extra bandwidth do you have to add in order to get the same quality as CPU encoding?

Re: OBS 0.52.03 toast build - quicksync

Not enough, most likely. It's less about bitrate and more about how QSV does the actual encoding.

Re: OBS 0.52.03 toast build - quicksync

Surprise surprise, XSplit just implemented QuickSync as well (though only for local recording, lol), along with some other improvements OBS has had over it for a while now.

Catching up they are. Hopefully OBS stays ahead of them, want to see the penetration of OBS continue to rise.
