Question / Help OBS Capture issue.

[Fenrir]

Maxing out your PC while playing the game can absolutely cause issues. Video encoding is very sensitive to any issues or delays, it needs a decent amount of resources to function properly. Right now, though, the issue is primarily that your GPU is overloaded.

NVENC uses your GPU to encoder, x264 uses your CPU. If they are both set up to use CRF/CQP, you won't really be able to tell a difference in quality.

On the last video i captured i got this:
Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 110/7519 (1.5%)
Output 'adv_file_output': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 4 (0.1%)

I will try a 30second video again, but i'm not planning to use x264 bc my CPU is already going crazy when i record+game.
But this time i will not OC my GPU.

Brb!

What did you do to get it more stable?

What did you do to get it more stable?

So far i just activated vsync "adaptive" ingame and it raised my OBS fps from 5-20 to 54-60fps.
I will make a new test when i have time, i will keep this post updated untill its good.

Cheers Soort

UPDATE!

So i tested this time without overclocking the GPU.
There are little spikes bc obs is still around the 55-60fps.
The video is 2mins long, i've seen so far like 8spikes.

Will it be better if i lower my AC: Origins settings or does it have nothing to do with it?

Cheers Soort

UPDATE..

So i tried lowering my settings ingame (assassin's creed origins). So far what i got is, that this game optimization is VERY BAD. I turned it to very low & vsync on but i still get spikes while trying to record. Wish there was a solution :/

I also tried it at Fortnite, just had 3spikes.

Last log (very low settings & vsync on): https://gist.github.com/1fb6df487a5bf147fcc394275c284d60
New log (medium settings & vsync off): https://gist.github.com/425e8cd6618723eb929d6cc1dd417e6b
