Question / Help Poor translation quality [HELP]

[Sofrik]

Hello everybody! Sorry for my bad English is not my native language .


Tell me that I have set up is not correct ? Constantly blurs the image from webcam :(

My PC:
CPU: i5 4670 3.4ghz
Mem: 8Gb
Video: Nvidia GTX 770 (last driver)
MB: Gigabyte Z87-HD3
Webcam: Logitech C520
Internet: 60mb download/ 100mb upload
OS: Windows 10
OBS: v0.657b

My OBS setup:

Examples:

I've changed the resolution of the camera with 1280x720 to 640x360 and still the problem persists :(


I try everything Presets Nvidia :(

With x264 terribly loaded processor :(

Last OBS logs : https://gist.github.com/anonymous/3d242e993eb4a69abfbb4927eafff6b0


Thank you in advance!

It's blurry because you're using nvenc.

Harold, When i use x264 picture is very clear and there is no any blurs. But ive seen other streamers who uses Nvidia's code and their picture was fine. What do you think? Will there be a strong difference if i change my i5 4670 with i7 on the same socket?

It probably will be a big difference if you go with a 4770k or 4790k instead of your 4670.

nvenc requires almost double the bitrate compared to x264 to maintain picture quality, and you're already in a bitrate range where, if you don't have twitch partnership, a large portion of your potential viewer base is stuck in buffering hell due to how twitch handles viewer routing.

If you dont run into the limit of your i5, why would you want an i7?
It can benefit you, but you would cost you at least 150$ extra.

NvEnc on a new card (970-980Ti) will look a bit better compared to your 770, but its still FAR worse than x264.
If you can use x264 without getting warnings or dropping FPS in games to an unpleasant level - use it over QuickSync, NvEnc or AMD VCE.

I personally use the NvEnc only for local recording where a) my GPU is not at 100% while gaming (capped FPS) and b) i just want to sit around, record for a while and chill without heating up my room by slapping the encoder load on the CPU (well i run the i7 5820k @4,5GHz, thats a monster, it costs like a monster and pulls over 200W from the wall while at full load = extra heat in the room).

If you can grab the 4790k for cheap - do it. I would not go with the 4770k, they run hot, overclocking is not that good (due to thermal problems) and the 4790k is faster at the same price.
You have a Z87 Board, it will overclock if you wish to do it. And you might want a BIOS update if you grab a Devils Canyon CPU (Haswell refresh, the 4790k will most likely need it).

Cryonic, i try streaming Overwatch with x264.
CPU usage is more than 98%, and video starts to brake and friezes.
If not limited to socket 1150 , which would you recommend to i7 ?


Thanks for all the answers!

Well my CPU is one of the top monsters that you can have right now.
Thats the "best CPU" for streaming on a single PC setup if you want to stay under 1000$ and with a single GPU.
But there is more, Broadwell-E is coming and if you decide to go the X99-route, you should wait a bit. Details are online (price blah, google it).

Otherwise: i7 6700k without questions IF you are willing to change RAM since X99 and Z170 require DDR4.
Cheaper upgrade: i7 4790k, this will fit on your board and you can keep your DDR3.

Lets say it like this: 800$ for X99 (Board, i7 5820k, DDR4 16-32GB), 600$ for Z170+6700k+DDR4 and around 300 for the 4790k alone. You can sell your old hardware after that, its up to you. This is what you are looking at right now for upgrade options.
In short future it might change. Broadwell-E will be a bit faster, the price is actually the same. But Zen (new AMD CPU lineup) might mix up the prices and give you more options, but there is no release date or details, gonna take a while.

P.S. so far i know, Overwatch is not that hungry to eat up your i5, you might want to adjust some settings like dropping the preset to a faster one (less CPU usage, but the videofeed will look worse - but still better than what NVenc is producing).

Cryonic, Many thanks for the clarifications , I'm probably selling your i5 4670 and buy i7 4790k
