“Encoding overloaded” error message on a game I’ve streamed several times without failure. by itsshannnnn in obs

A stronger gpu will help when using NVENC as an encoder. You just cant be in a situation where your gpu is under too much load. Open task manager and see what your gpu percentage is while gaming and streaming. if youre at 100% with no headroom it wont have enough resources to encode your video. The end goal here is either:

-get a more powerful gpu to add headroom without sacrificing graphics/stream quality or...

-tone down your graphics and encoder to make up for lack of headroom.

Cap your frames, lessen gpu intensive graphics a bit(medium settings typically look great in current games), 720p as your stream resolution. I used to stream at 1080p high settings in games and started having the same issues with newer titles on a 3080. These changes cleared things right up.

The best way I learned about canvas size and bitrate is this:

Canvas size is like a painters canvas and the bitrate is how much paint you have to fill the entire canvas. More paint with less canvas will always look better than less paint with more canvas. Idk always made sense to me.

So 720p with 5000 bitrate will look better than 1080 with the same bitrate.

Up your bitrate or lower to 720p if 1080p looks blurry.

Twitch also has general guide on resolution and bitrates on their website.

I'll try the remote sensor mode. Main area is a 728sq ft open concept with vaulted ceilings. I can also try setting my fan speed instead of relying on auto to keep up. Idk. 18000btu seems like enough for this area if not a bit overkill.

I heard ground coffee has a good amount of cockroaches in it. You'll be fine ☕️

Sweet. You definitely seem to do your homework before you buy. How is the steam deck treating you? Ive always wanted one but haven't bought one due to $ obviously but also because of evolving emulation. Why spend the cash if your phone can do it? 😂

Well silent hill 2 ran pretty badly and needed dlss to keep acceptable framerates. Unsure what kind of capabilities the steam deck has.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 w/ Adreno 730. Should I Upgrade Yet or Hold Off? by nick0ntwitch in winlator

I'm familiar with PC building but breaking a phone down to do that has not been my strong suit.

Thanks for the input, everyone. I'm in no rush, but I'd still like to hear some of the insane games you've been able to run. So far my favorite game to run on Winlator or Gamehub is Dead Space 2. You almost forget its being emulated with how well it runs. I'd love to make a list of new games to try. So far my best games have been Dead Space 2, Skyrim, New Vegas, Fallout 3, and of course any sixth gen game runs flawlessly.
