Question / Help x264 Preset Suggestions?

So the official settings estimator doesn't actually say anything about what x264 preset to use after putting in my specs.

My processor is an i5 2400, and I have 8gb of 1333mhz RAM. My GPU is a GTX 560ti.

I plan to be streaming at 3500kbps and possibly 60fps depending on the game.

I've done test recordings with veryfast, but the results were not very good as it caused a bit of in-game stutter. Does streaming use resources differently with the same settings?

You can use 64 bits OBS. Copy shortcut, edit it and search OBS 64 bits.
But, you can udate it to last version.


No "Streaming start" section

That's odd, I even have the VOD on twitch so the stream was successful. Anyways, I'll get the 64 bit version and a new log file, then will post it here.

This is the log after using the 64-bit version. I even made sure there's a stream startup section in it.

I think this is not really a problem. (90 sec streaming)
So, that config is fine!

Maybe you can try a longer streaming and observe any issue,

I knew this already. I even stated in a reply that all my issues were in-game issues. It doesn't just hit my framerate, it makes games stutter and lag horribly.

OBS uses GPU to render frames. (You GPU does not support NVENC that could be used to encode video instead CPU; NVENC is made by a separate "core" in the GPU)
You are close to the limit,
I mean, you are getting the most for your game and there is just the room OBS needs.
In some situations, if your game peaks, you can get the lag you are talking about.

You can reduce in video settings to 30 FPS. This will help with your issue.
Or limiting ingame FPS (Vsync for instance)


Note: another option
Set canvas and rescale size to 1280x720p.
Rescale filter to bilineal (in fact, it won´t be used)
Try with 60 FPS.
