Hey guys,

I am trying to stream with my PC and seems like i have some lag issues and frame problem ingame aswell.

Here are my spec.

i5-6600K
EVGA 960 4GB SSC
8G 2400 MHZ

I usally stream at 720P and i was wondering if it is better in x264 or NVEC because when i stream at playersunknown battleground i have pixel in my screen like purple/blue and green which wasn't happening before with my PNY 960 2gb and now since i've change my GPU it all seems to be buggy..

I need some help thanks:)

Since you have an I5 cpu I suggest trying Nvenc 720p@30fps bitrate minimum 3500bitrate to 4000 bitrate with 2-pass checked. My friends stream looks beautifull, he also had to set B frames to 0 but you may not have to. Using nvenc takes the load off of your cpu. Your pc should run alot smoother as well. Its all encoded on a chip on the video card separate from the gpu. Hope it helps

Has quicksync technology updated or something? When I used it about a year or so ago, while it was smooth, the quality was not even close to nvenc or x264.

Hi. I started streaming with NVENC H.264 since my cpu cant handle few days ago it was doing fine and now when im trying to put stream on it says "Starting the output failed, Please check the log for details.
Note: If you are using the NVENC or AMD encored, make sure your video drivers are up to date."
So yea i have checked my nvida and its up to date. I have never have this kind of problem

I'm seeing a failed to open nvenc, I'd ddu uninstall the nvidia drivers and reinstall if that still doesn't work I'd reinstall obs.

I'd also set B frames in nvenc encoder settings to zero

This error usually means something went wrong in the driver. Try a clean GPU driver install: http://obsproject.com/forum/resources/performing-a-clean-gpu-driver-installation.65/
