Hello! Thanks for taking your time to read this!
I am not in need of urgent help I am just curious to find something out. I also am aware it might not seem like I have read the stickied thread about High Encoding before posting this but I have. I used that guideline time and time again when i first started streaming. I can stream most games I play just fine because I have managed to set it up correctly.
I am a bit concerned about Skyrim however. I recently started streaming it and every now and then, especially in places like The Ragged Flagon and The Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary I get immense lag and High Encoding warnings, however it lags a lot more on my OBS preview than it does on the actual stream I have found by watching my past broadcasts.
My question is however if its my settings that are wrong for streaming, or if I just need new hardware, I know I can crunch my resolution output some more but I really really don't want to, like I said I can stream other games just fine, CSGO for example I can even crunch it even less. I will post some settings now just so you guys can see that, along with my specs.
For Skyrim I have come to use these settings:
Encoding: CBR + CBR Padding checked, 3250 in bitrate and buffer size.
Video: Base resolution is 1080p, downscaled to 1096x616, Fastest flter at 40 FPS (Been ranging between 30 and 50.)
I don't know if you need anymore settings than that. Skyrim settings themselves I had set to the absolute lowest you can, the fades, the resolution the different qualities, everything, absolute lowest.
And I think it might be my hardware as I said, but my reason for this thread was to see if I could be able to stream Skyrim well even with this computer, but here come my specs:
CPU: AMD Phenom II
GPU: nVidia Geforce GTX 560 Ti
RAM: 8 GB
Not sure if you need anything else, if you do, do indeed let me know.
Thanks again for taking your time! (I also tried uploading some log files but I just get errors on the webpage.)
