Question / Help OBS choppy, high encoding, and quality drop

[Dexxr]

Hello OBS Staff, I am having trouble streaming. I am having a high CPU encoding issue as well as a choppy looking stream on twitch. It affects my gaming for instance, when I loot an item on h1z1 it takes 10 seconds to pick up the item when i have the stream on but when i have the stream off i can pick up the item instantly. Is there a setting i need to change to fix these issues? Thanks for the help I listed the components of my PC, internet speed, as well and some games I play. LOG is also attached to this thread

Get rid of this x264 command:

19:05:14: Using custom x264 settings: "crf=15"

You're getting 14% duplicated frames on SuperFast and ~ 3% duplicated frames on UltraFast, which means your computer isn't keeping up. Seeing how you have a recent i5, I'm guessing you have the Anniversary Update bug. If you have Windows 10 Anniversary Update installed, uninstall it. And make sure your Nvidia drivers are updated after you do that.

Thanks for the reply. I will try that when I get home tonight. Should I switch from 720x30 to 720x60 aswell?

I wouldn't. Get a baseline of satisfactory operation established before you change things up. 60fps is harder on your computer than 30fps, obviously, so do the easier one first and then try to tweak it higher only after you get that working.
