Hey, i am new to streaming, but i started trying it out with obs, but i get "Warning: Hige encoding" some times. I think my system should handle it fine tho. I also see that it lags some times too.

UPDATE
Or maybe i should use my GPU to stream insted? since i have 2 i can use 1 of them to encode with if it is even possible

My system:
CPU: Intel i7 6700k 4.7GHz
GPU: Evga Geforce GTX 780 SC x2
Internet speed:

OBS Log please.

GPU encoders aren't good for streaming. The quality per bitrate ratio is junk on them.

The slower the preset sounds, the more cpu work that is involved in making the stream work.

That said, you appear to have dual video cards. OBS Classic has problems with SLI/Crossfire configurations, which may be part of your problem.

so that mean i have to turn preset sound to faster to get better performance and my SLI setup can make me lag sometimes? tho it is not fps lag, it is more like monitor lag or so. I can see it but the fps is still the same.

The default preset of "veryfast" has been found, in testing, to be close to the ideal balance of quality and cpu efficiency.

SLI can cause any number of problems with OBS and it's recommended to disable SLI or use multi-adapter compatibility with OBS Multiplatform

But i tought since i got such a new CPU i could do that encoding just fine, but apperently not. Thanks anyway for helping me out with some of my questions :D

Some games, like csgo, will eat as much cpu as you'll let them unless you specifically tell them not to. That can contribute to performance issues.
