Question / Help OBS settings stream

[blecap]

Thanks for the input. I thought I actually have a decent system to stream :( I'll prolly try 720@60 first. sighhh.

Would you take a look at this at 4:43 timing, I wish to achieve that result however question remain any ways?

Your system is pretty decent, but understand that 1080p 60fps for streaming is VERY taxing. Doing that while playing a game on the same system is likely to overload something.

What can I do to achieve 1080 streaming results Fen?

If you've already tried everything I've suggested, I'm not sure what else to suggest.

ah there was too much info to digest at the same time figuring out ><
could internet also be the major factor as im on wifi not exactly direct connection. as I notice from the Stats nerd my network speed was fluctuating up and down, inconsistency.

As long as you're not dropping frames (OBS will report any dropped frames at the bottom of the main window) you should be good.

Ok, noob question, how do I see the dropped frames when I live streaming?

Alright I got it lol. Thanks for the patience Fen and help. Ill test it some time later. Cheers!

Im streaming atm. on my tablet it looks relly good not stuttering like hell.while on desktop screens are bigger of cause and its just not quite near good quality, i did mess with settings already

I feel like an annoying bug here. What do you think if I record at higher resolution(1440/2160) via Nvidia DSR in control panel? and native will be 720/1080? Althou I think it's gonna destroy my GPU usage

Edit: Yeah it killed my GPU. Doh...

From your logs, the relevant parts here:

15:43:22.339: Output 'adv_stream': Number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 8378 (3.8%)
15:43:22.339: Output 'adv_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 9 (0.0%)
15:43:22.339: Output 'adv_stream': Number of dropped frames due to insufficient bandwidth/connection stalls: 18035 (8.2%)

1080p 60fps is going to be pretty heavy on your system to encode, and it looks like you're just barely overloading things. You might want to drop resolution to 720p, or FPS to 30. Alternate options could be freeing up system resources a bit by capping FPS in the game, or by lowering graphics settings in the game.


For the most part, your video looks pretty decent (if a bit light on bitrate, you generally want 9,000 for 1080p 60fps), outside the parts where your system lagged a bit trying to keep up.

Hi @Fenrir, may I ask how I was barely overloading things? Also. of cause I really prefer 60fps only. And the hardest part was I do not understood the bold reply from you. 1 more thing while I was streaming I did not see any frame drop when I alt tab out.

Your system is struggling to keep up with gaming and streaming simultaneously, albeit not so much. You can reduce encoding overload using Fenrir's advice.

 

[Fenrir]

What @progressivehorror said is correct. You're overloading your system, getting a small amount of skipped frames, but it's not much. So lowering settings with the advice I gave in my other replies is the way to go.

I did follow your advice lowering to 720p, lower texture in-game as well, tweak nvidia settings and still the result look the same though, I really do not know what else I can do.

I will try to do a live with 720p60 and upload the log later. For now, I did follow your advice but I am not seeing quality improvement even when I go nuts with 12000 bitrate(lol). What actually concerns me were during high speed car chase it freaking stutters/freezes while I was looking at my tablet or anything that is actually fast paced. Does log shows internet speed whether are they consistent or fluctuating?

A friend of my told me to upgrade my card, maybe add another 8GB ram and a capture card. Are they really necessary?
I apologize for all these questions.

How fast is your internet?

why cant he stream at 1080p 60fps with 4k or 6k bitrate if hes not having lag whats the problem. I also stream with the same system at 1080p 60fps with 6k bitrate and i have no stuttering at all. Why does he need 9k bitrate or higher. Twitched just changed it recently to 6k for non sub users. It use to be 3500 max for the longest time ?
