Re: OBS 0.52.05 toast build - quicksync

Make sure you have the most recent drivers, which (for AMD at least) include the latest version of OpenCL support.

GPUZ will tell you if your hardware supports it though.

Re: OBS 0.52.05 toast build - quicksync

Hey there,

opencl is not working for me, although my discrete gpu (NVidia GTX 560 Ti) supports it (according to GPU-Z)

Here is the log:

What driver version are you using? I just had to update my nvidia drivers to get opencl working on my 660ti

Click to expand...

Latest (320.18).

I removed all custom x264 settings I had. Leaving only opencl=true

It worked, but crashes after a few minutes on nvopencl.dll (from nVidia).

I guess opencl is indeed rather unstable for now.

Re: OBS 0.52.05 toast build - quicksync

I don't know if its something to do with opencl or what, but the quality of my stream seems to of dropped off quite a bit using the same settings :(

I think that DarkShikari made a fault in new version x264 and we must wait for fix.

The huge frame-drop is internet connection related :o

Can I assume that the custom x264 setting "opencl=true" is working if it produces no errors in the log? In what way exactly does OpenCL contribute to x264 encoding? (Only the lookahead function is being offloaded to the GPU?) How much of a rough performance improvement can we expect from this (if any)?

Edit: The huge frame drop might not be network related afterall :/ after some streaming the encoding FPS just drops to zero, frame-drop increases, while in-game the performance stays the same, also the CPU and GPU utilization, so as some have already suggested, something might be borken ^^

It's not that hard BTW, this thread is full of help. My only problem was that my drivers for the iGPU were old, an update solved my issue - no need to add OBS in any way to the Virtu Applications list.

Re: OBS 0.52.05 toast build - quicksync

@Geoing - Yes, I have a HD6870, and the latest WHQL drivers for it (was tempted to go for the latest beta drivers, but I'm playing it safe for now). I'll be messing around with OpenCL some more probably, however I'm still not 100% sure wether it is working or not ^^ (I see a ~10% increase in GPU utilization, that could be it ...)
@gmontanola - Using version 1.2.114.21767 :D My mobo does not support newer versions, so I'm stuck with this - it is better than nothing tho :)

Re: OBS 0.52.05 toast build - quicksync

I don't get this OpenCL thing, I added the "opencl=true" in the custom x264 encoder settings and hit the checkbox next to it to enable it but when I do and hit start stream nothing shows up on twitch.. it remains in "offline" mode.. if I just uncheck that use custom checkbox and hit stream, it comes online in seconds.. what up with that?


in the log I get

16:10:02: x264: clEnqueueNDRangeKernel error '-4'
16:10:02: x264: OpenCL: CL_MEM_OBJECT_ALLOCATION_FAILURE error executing CL_COMMAND_NDRANGE_KERNEL on GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Device 0).
16:10:02:

soo.. guess it ain't actually working even tho it appears in the preview window as if it does..
