Question / Help Warning: High Encoding. Help?

[Selfthoughtnn]

Hi. I am currently getting this encoding warning. Oddly, I am not dropping frames at all. Nor does my stream appear to be suffering at all when I go to look. However, I still don't like this Warning.

I used to stream all the time (same game) roughly 6-7 months ago and never had issues.

Here are my PC specs:
Intel i7- 4770k @ 3.5 GHz
Nvidia 760 (dual card)
8 GB RAM

Here are my OBS settings:
Video:
Resolution 1600 X 900 (fit to monitor)
FPS: 40

Encoding:
Nvidia NVENC (I have tried both x264 and NVIDIA. Still same message)
Use CBR is checked.
Padding is checked.
Buffer Size: 2000. I've dropped it nearly 600 points.
Audio Bit: 128 (Tried dropping this as well)

First, you're streaming with NVEnc, which is bad and wrong. NVEnc is only good for saving to disk at high bitrates, not streaming. Use x264 for streaming instead.

Second, you're using a USB-based Wifi adapter. This is also bad and wrong. Use a wired network connection. If needed, string a temporary network cable to your computer (the spec lets it be up to 100 meters in length) that you pick up when you're done streaming. Wifi will give you problems.

1) Enable Aero. It significantly improves OBS' performance.
2) 2100kbps is barely enough for 720p@30fps on x264 Veryfast. Much less 1600x900@40 on NVENC. That's going to be terrible.
3) Don't stream over wifi.


So yeah. Read the guide at top. Then Aero on, downscale further to 720p@30, and run a cable.
Most likely you're getting the high CPU due to an NVENC bottleneck though, but the rest of that is bad and needs fixed.

Thanks. I use to stream with a cable, and will continue to do so. The Issue is that my internet has great speeds, yet goes in and out often. Even with a cable. Was hard to pinpoint that as the issue.
