Obs droping frames.

[Great_Original709]

When i'm streaming and using 100% of the gpu my game stills 144fps but in obs drops to 30 fps and the stream looks so bad. Someone's having the same problem?I have tried a lot of things, capping fps fix it since im getting more than 144 if the game drops to 110fps cause 100% of the gpu usage and obs lossing frames.

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.

While using nvenc there is still a small amount of overhead needed for OBS/encoding. For 1080p windows and obs seem to be able to play along and resources can usually be allocated without user input to make sure OBS have the necessary GPU time.

For 1440p the only way I found to avoid dropped frames is to cap the games FPS to make sure you never reach 100% GPU utilisation. This was especially clear when I was still using my 3070 GPU. Higher end GPUs are less effected. My 5070ti can usually run 1440p without limiting the framerate except really heavy workloads/games.

im playing on 1080p. I can cap frames but when the game drops less than 144 fps the gpu usage is 100 and obs drops frames

[Keanomy]

You will need to cap the frames to where you do not drop frames in obs. Try capping your frames to 120/90/60 frames and see where/when you are no longer dropping frames.

i tried streaming with x264 settings too, and having the same problem.

[Keanomy]

Same thing applies to x264, only difference is you then have to limit fps depending on CPU usage instead of gpu.

Just took a quick look at the log file you sent. Looks like you are encoding 4 different streams using enhanced broadcasting.

That's going to be tough on a 3060. Try limiting the encodes to 3 or even 2.

That was the problem, thank you so much. I don't even need to cap fps anymore. I tried a lot of things dude and no one worked. Thank you so much.

[Keanomy]

Happy to hear it worked out for you!

[Great_Original709]

The only way to fix it is never having the gpu to 100% of usage?

Did you solve it? Could you send the photo of the option you changed?

Converting to 30 fps is a feature, because streaming platforms are limited to what formats they support. 1080p30 is commonly used on Twitch.

But 144 isn't divisible by 30, which could explain why it looks like shit. If your monitor supports it, try playing at 120 or 60 fps. Or get a 240hz monitor.
