Question / Help OBS High Encoding

Hi guys,

I need serious help with OBS because I am getting way too stressed out.

First of all, here are my specs.

Intel i5-4690k
Z97 Motherboard
16GB DDR3 RAM
MSI GTX 960 4GB
256GB Samsung 850 Pro SSD
2x BenQ 1080p monitors
Windows 10 Pro

(I think you will agree that these specs aren't called as low)

So here's the issue. No matter what I do in OBS, it gives me High Encoding error. I have tried EVERYTHING. Downscaling, lowering the framerate, lowering and raising the bitrate, basically changing every setting to the lowest.

I was trying to stream GTA V this evening and it was awful. I turned all my graphics settings down in GTA to the lowest they would go. I even tried changing my monitor resolution to 720p.

Before you ask, I have read the main forum post about this and I had already tried everything it suggested.

The only applications I had open at the time of streaming were OBS, GTA, TS3 and one tab in Chrome.

My friend who has a 4th Gen i3 and a GTX 750 can run fine without this problem but for some reason I can't.

It's getting that bad I am considering going back to being a console peasant. Please help me before I loose hope.

Thanks,

Danny

At this point I wasn't using it in full-screen mode but I do occasionally.
And I was just messing around with the settings on that one after I saw a forum thread about it. I usually have a manual buffer size

Uncheck the "Use custom buffer size"

Set your webcam to 1280x720 at MOST.

And consider hooking all your displays up to your dedicated graphics card.

Also, your pastebin'd log is incomplete.

FIXED: I switched from the x264 Encoder to the Nvidia NVENC Encoder and it works perfectly now. Thanks anyway!
