Question / Help Stream lags when streaming Rainbow six siege.

[Moerin]

When I play R6, its not lagging. But people on my stream says it lags. Also when I look the video back, its lagging so hard.

i7 7700k 4.2 GHz
GTX 1080 8GB
16GB ram

Log File shows no recording/stream attempt and no encoding settings.

Here you go i hope

Yeah, now it shows the stream.
18:27:55.123: Output 'simple_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 36 (0.3%)
18:27:55.124: Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 1103/11487 (9.6%)

Theoretically this means 0.3% Frames lost due to GPU overload, although it might not really be a problem of GPU load, as I can reproduce lag/stall frames by simply switching between some OBS scenes, so this is no big deal.
The 9.6% of skipped frames are a result of the CPU bottleneck.

I would definitely recommend to change your stream to 720p, as 1080p with 60fps is way too high for only 3500kbit/s. It will look awful pixelated in games with many details and a lot of movement.
You could also increase the bitrate to 6500kbit/s but you might loose some viewers at that bitrate.

Thanks! I will change to 720p. Can I still stream 720p on 60 FPS? And what do you mean with 'The 9.6% of skipped frames are a result of the CPU bottleneck.'? Is my cpu bottlenecking? a i7 7700k?

 

[BK-Morpheus]

Jep, the 7700k only got 4 cores with 8 threads. Very good IPC and Clock Speed, but video encoding likes many cores. 720p 60fps should be fine.

 

[Moerin]

Thanks. So if I understand this right. The i7 7700k isnt good for streaming? So basically the 7700k is bottlenecking?

 

[BK-Morpheus]

In your log file with 1080p 60fps the 770k was slightly bottlenecking, yes.
