What are good settings for 60 FPS/720p local recording, priority on the frame rate?
On an i7/280x

Feel free to read through the last few pages of the forums. TBH, there isn't much to play with anymore with AMF (just a AMF quality dropdown) and OpenCL (use the quality buttons). Other than that, set your fps, IDR (2x fps) and GOP (.5 or 1x fps).

Yeah i don't get it. I'm still getting those weird driver resets (black-screen) for some reason while using OBS VCE...
Even tried some different settings for once like lower reso, balanced pre-set and lower FPS but it won't help.

And you still dont think it could be the card? I just had that one driver reset and that was it. Other thoughts are if your card is overclocked or overclocking itself. I would enable overclocking and manually "set" your settings to the factory speeds. I've heard of raptr and other apps "overclocking" themselves...

It's not even a year old so who knows. And yeah i know hardware can break at all time if you're unlucky :P

Would suprise me if it did. And even if, who knows if it's even high enough that it could fuck up.
Going to try the manuel part..maybe it helps, though i don't expect it since the temps are normally fine.

@OliverMD, check AMD 14.9.1 (beta) driver update. Not sure if you use crossfire, but I saw the word "crashing" and thought of you!

Be sure to uninstall first as it states that right in the instructions.

Hes been working. I tend to watch github and the changes he makes on there. If you wanna know, click on "### commits" button and see whats last been changed :D At the same time. I was able to stream at 720@54fps last night at quality preset. it looked about as good as a friend of mine's stream 720@60 with fast preset

Yeah i don't worry about Jack not working on the build. Just wondering that he hasn't posted anything :P
But yeah thanks for the link, last time i checked on it was ages ago.

EDIT: The underclocking finally worked, sadly it still crashed while using replay for once :(

I would question your PSU (power supply). Its either that or heat, but if your temps are fine, then it might be an under-powered PSU

I don't know why, but after updating my amd drivers to 14.9 and then to 14.9.1 Beta I havnt been able to get Counter-Strike Global Offensive to work with Game Capture, even in the None VCE version of OBS I cant get it to work, It just shows a black screen.
I have no issues at all with other games.

You can't tell me the GPU isn't getting enough power from the PSU in a game like Jedi Academy (ID Tech 3)
Also, wouldn't heat be a part of a high electricity need or am i wrong? Maybe I'm just thinking wrong but yeah who knows.

PSU: It's a cheap no-name PSU (750w) sadly, but i never had an issue so far either. No resets either as said before.

750 is plenty but what I'm worried about is the no name lol. video cards have 2 modes, 2d mode (desktop) and 3d (games). it ups the frequency volts, exc when its in game.

I'm using an Asus R9 280X and Release 64bit build (2014-09-10 #2). When I start recording I get the error Encoder initialization failed!.

It works if I tick Use AMD AMF instead of OVE, but with that setting it feels like I get as much lag ingame as I would be encoding with the CPU...

Yeah i know @no-name. Still never had an issue so you can't just tell me it's not an VCE issue :P

No sh**, I'm not that far behind the basics, i know they've got 2 modes don't worry.
How does that matter though, do you think the GPU is using the 2D clocks on a IDT3 game instead of the 3D ones? :P

If you dont have trouble with the release drivers, dont go to a beta.
