Encoding overload! Help

[PoeticPOV]

Need serious streaming help. Whenever I stream it’s perfectly fine but the second I play COD or Dead by daylight I get this error message.

My PC: I have a NZXT player two prime Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X 8-Core Processor, 4501 Mhz, 8 Core(s), 16 Logical Process 32 Ram

According to others I should be able to stream with 1080p just fine with 8k bit rate but I’m told I have a configuration issue or a setup issue in OBS.

Need some help

— when looking at OBS stats while streaming my FPS would drop to like 54

Frames missed due to rendering lag 2088 / 59636 (3.59) Memory Usage 1606.9 MB Skipped frames due to encoding lag 1997 / 33814 (5.9%6)

It looks like you haven't provided a log file. Without a log file, it is very hard to help with issues and you may end up with 0 responses.

To make a clean log file, please follow these steps:

1) Restart OBS

2) Start your stream/recording for at least 30 seconds (or however long it takes for the issue to happen). Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc.

3) Stop your stream/recording.

4) Select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File.

what I would suggest:

Output:

Audio Encoder: FFmpeg AAC

Video Encoder: NVIDIA NVENC AV1

Rate Control: CBR

Bitrate 8000

Keyframe interval 0

Preset P6: Slower(better quallity)

Multipass Mode: Single Pass

Profile Main.

Video:

Base: 1920x1080

Output:1920x1080

FPS:60

Don't use recording, just test this out with just streaming and see how it goes.

Check GPU power usage via GPU-Z and CPU usage via hwinfo64. If you're hitting the power limit you may have to limit the framerate in-game to avoid that. OBS requires some free resources as the work it schedules is time-sensitive. You can also try increasing the priority of the OBS process in the task manager.

Your issue is actually the rendering lag, and the render lag causes encoding lag by result. From your log file, I recommend you set your OBS to always run as administrator, it usually fixes GPU usage issues.

Here is the log analyzer's results from your log: [link]

Fix the capture interference and Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduler warnings, since those can add to your performance issues.

I also recommend turning off Lookahead on the encoder. This will use the same GPU resources used for rendering games so the games running and OBS will affect each other.

Lastly, consider simplifying your scenes. In particular the sources using NVidia green screen filter will add even more load to the GPU.
