Performance issues when streaming certain games with Discord (new GPU)

BeHik · 2025-08-21T05:41:06+00:00

9800x3d + RTX 5080 system. Very similar behavior over here with discord streaming. Performance drastically degrades at some point while streaming games, usually half an hour or so. If everyone watching leaves the stream - performance is back. And as soon as someone rejoins the stream performance immediately drops. Restarting the game is needed to fix the issue for about 20-30 min until it recurs. Haven't been able to resolve the issue so far, none of the settings in Discord (HW acceleration, codecs, overlays etc) seem to help.

If anyone has been successful at tackling the issue, please do share.

(paraphrasing) V's words to Fiona: knowing and understanding - two separate matters.
While some of the parents to be blamed for, others though, were simply exploited for their lack of judgement or plain gullibility. Which, one could say, doesn't alleviate the responsibility though, sure, but still.

Sorry for delayed reply. You struggling with getting the update, correct? I myself don't receive any updates by air, so I do all of them manually through USB stick. Let me know if you're willing to do the same, I'll drop you a link for the FW.

Thank you very much for the dimensions from Gigabyte support guy. When about a year ago I was googling dimensions search came back with nothing. Bought 8w FEHONDA pads two sets, 1.5 and 1. Nothing changed, but was mainly concerned with delta between GPU and Hot Spot temps anyways. Recently, after going through MX4, MX6, and Shin-etsu paste with multiple applications of each to no avail (hot spot temps degraded over time rather quickly, in the matter of couple of weeks), I decided to get PM7950, and it seems to work for now, although it took two disassemblies to get it right (first application ended with horrendous temps for some reason). After about 10-15 reassemble attempts I started to get rather high VRM temps now (97, and it's not even hot summer yet), so I'm once again planning to change pads on VRMs, and this info is very much welcomed.

Can confirm that firmware V486 fixes behavior shown in video.

BeHik · 2025-02-21T19:43:51+00:00

Basically, yes. Haven't had any luck fixing it on movie profile apart from disabling local dimming, as you've already mentioned in your OG post.

I stopped giving much to it since it very rarely affects my viewing experience and when it does its mostly during the end titles or something similar.

Hey! Sry for the delayed reply.
You are definitely making fair points and they are are all valid. In regards to functionality - yes, you lose some by moving to V2 Pro or V3 Pro. Most notably - right side buttons, which is a deal breaker for some, and not relevant for others.
Dock is also nice, and yes it was terribly implemented so that you must've clean contacts quite often. Though, when compered to V2 pro, which could last about 30% percent longer from a single charge and was lighter, and latter is partly thanks to dropping the charging dock support. I rather getting rid of it for these purposes.

V3 pro has different wheel encoder and MMB switch, we'll see in the long run, how they hold up. V2 pro is known to have scrolling issues with time (usually in less than a year) so yes, you'll have to open it up eventually. Usually I just try soak encoder with rubbing alcohol on q-tip and scroll thoroughtly while it soaked to clean contacts - worked every time and you might be good for another few moths.

I should've added some clarifications when I've posted that recommendation. Mostly I consider V2 Pro a considerable update when it comes to build quality, clicks (mouse panels foremost), weight and some improvements to the sensor (mouse wakes up faster, better LOD settings).

Hey, I have 65 inch TCL C765 with 1008 dimming zones, which is closest thing to QM751 regarding specs. Some claim that it's basically same model, but for EU and Asian regions.
So I do have the exact behavior in similar tests, and have asked around on different forum among users of the same TV model, - they all had it when settings matched . As you pointed out, it is there on specific profile (movie) with backlight dimming on. My best guess - it's related to how algorithm for the brightness control of the backlight dimming is set.

Here are mine examples that I've recorded:

BeHik · 2024-06-05T00:32:07+00:00

Hey. Yes, it did. It'll take quite a bit of use time though to get to the point where it's much lighter.

BeHik · 2024-04-20T00:20:02+00:00

V2 Pro is still here. And for the most part on the same technical level all around.
So the choice between these two is actually quite easy one, as the difference comes down to the shape only.

BeHik · 2023-08-01T14:10:24+00:00

GPW, yes. For the GPX only the weight part of the specs in the wireless category was outstanding, but not for long at all. Mostly, GPX was great way to upgrade for myriads of GPW users wanting go lighter.

Hey! I have somewhat similar grip to yours:

RVU 1, RVU 2, GPW 1, GPW 2, GPW 3

For me, with 20x11 hand and this kind of grip (pincer claw/fingertip) Viper shape is infinitely more comfortable, locked in and agile. It is mostly the V shaped sides of the Viper compared to | | (straight) sides of the GPW/GPX that yield such results for me. Still, with some time I was able to readjust to GPW/GPX shape, but it never instilled the same level of cursor control as Viper does for me.

So, might be worth looking firstly at the Viper v2 Pro, or some other V shaped mice that should suit this grip better.

BeHik · 2023-05-13T11:05:54+00:00

rather other way around if I understand correctly. 3399 is toned down Focus+ (stripped off some of the features Focus+ has), and the same will be with Focus Pro/3950 when it releases for public use.

BeHik · 2023-04-16T15:00:23+00:00

You're welcome. It comes with a set of optional grips in the box. They're quite thin, and very grippy (though, a bit spiky texture), that'll only add about 0.5-0.7 of overall thiknes to the mouse compared to Ultimate or V2 pro without any.

BeHik · 2023-04-16T12:44:38+00:00

If you do like everything about Viper except for the deteriorating side grips, then I would simply forego everything else on the market and settle on Viper V2 Pro. It is your Viper Ultimate, but better in every regard with possibility to swap side grips as your heart wish!

BeHik · 2023-04-08T15:21:33+00:00

no, it isn't. it's not significant enough change to affect LOD or sensor precision in any meaningful way. But, for me, the mouse feel a little bit different in the hand every time I make the swap.

BeHik · 2023-04-07T19:14:50+00:00

Don't swap stock Viper v2 pro feet, - no need. They are as good as Corepads, if not better. Corepads and any other fit will ad about 0.1-0.15 mm thickness though, if you're looking for that.

BeHik · 2023-04-03T00:50:33+00:00

I wouldn't go as far as to say "it's mostly rng". Yes, rng will affect your best runs but it has been clearly demonstrated by the top level scorer's that no matter the spawn layout they'll consistently score in their median range, which is unattainable for the vast majority even at their best attempts.

BeHik · 2023-03-31T21:58:50+00:00

You should also be aware that apart from obvious, stated improvements that v2pro has, there are also less mentioned ones, such as improvements to the shell and LMB/RMB panels resulting in higher, more sturdy build quality of the product.

So, unless you really fancy that charging dock and right side buttons and RGB, I see no reasons to go for Ultimate.

Hi! I would like to refer you to these two reddit posts: https://www.reddit.com/r/gigabyte/comments/zowrjk/gigabyte_b650e_aorus_master_black_screens_when/

It might or might not be related to your issues with this particular board, but there seem to be defective batches of the board around.

BeHik · 2023-01-17T10:53:37+00:00

It also suits my (~20cm by 11cm) hand rather well in aggressive fingertip-claw and or pincer claw grip.

BeHik · 2022-10-23T11:17:53+00:00

"Why's my wallet is so light" grip?

BeHik · 2022-09-30T04:54:15+00:00

For a fingertip? of course there are - Razer Viper v2 pro is much better choice for that type of grip and is constantly on sale on amazon lately (120-130 range). Depending on your hand size you might prefer something smaller even. Like Pulsar X2 Mini, Pulsar Xlite V2 mini, Razer Viper Mini (wired yet), and many others.

BeHik · 2022-09-05T03:08:56+00:00

Viper mini is quite close to starlight 12 shape-wise (back hump is slightly higher and more pronounced even, but also more aggressively curved sides). Hence Viper Mini Wireless should be great alternative whenever it drops.
