Hello there! This is my first post, but I've dug into as much documentation on this issue as I possibly could find before posting here, including other threads as well as YouTube videos on the subject, but none of it seems to really point me in exactly the direction I need.
Here's my log file:
Essentially, when I jump into games (usually AAA ones) that are even slightly taxing on my GPU, my dropped frames go THROUGH THE ROOF. I'm talking dropping 35-50% of my frames, in a way that is just not sustainable or manageable for a full stream. I'm running the Gigabyte RTX 2080 Super, so running games like Warzone, Sekiro, or even Fortnite should be easily feasible, if not just with adjusting settings inside the games. However, my system does not even give me a chance to do that. It's almost as if when my GPU gets taxed past a certain threshold, there's no going back for the bitrate of my stream, until I restart my computer altogether, which is crazy.
It is worth noting that the first time this happened was when I tried streaming Resident Evil Village, and when a cut scene in that game happened, my PC froze up and completely restarted over and over again upon multiple times streaming it. Since that point, the problem had spread to other AAA games. In Warzone when I entered a match I got BSOD repeatedly, and then the same thing happened in Fortnite. That's when I took the PC apart and re-seated my GPU and my RAM, just to see if that would help. I also did some scans on the PC to verify my disks and make sure it wasn't a volume issue. The combination of those things I did erased the BSOD part of the problem, but my bitrate issues remain as you can see and are completely terrible.
My hunch is that there is something terribly wrong with my GPU and I need to send it back to them for RMA, but I wanted to post this here before I do that to see if someone with more knowledge and experience might find something inside my logs? This stream was run at 1080p, with no recording happening. However ideally I record all my streams directly in OBS at the same time as streaming.
Looking forward to hopefully finding some answers on this! If any further tests, logs, or information are needed I'm ready to submit them any time. Thank you!
