obs high encoding when streaming

[clayton1233]

when i steam to twitch obs says warning high encoding in the bottom left of the window

[FuzzyYellow]

specs of your PC?

Increase your bitrate or play at a smaller res.

specs of your PC?

amd athlon 64 x2 dual core 4400+ 2.31GHz, gtx 750ti, 2gb ram

Increase your bitrate or play at a smaller res. 

i am streaming at 480 at 25fps right now

[techguru]

make sure you are encoding with NVENC from the 750 ti

[clayton1233]

i already am

i already am

what bitrate you using

[itachipirate]

amd athlon 64 x2 dual core 4400+ 2.31GHz, gtx 750ti, 2gb ram

Streaming is going to be hard on that CPU. Try lowering your x264 preset to a faster setting, or use the NVENC encoder on your Nvidia graphics card to lighten the CPU load

[clayton1233]

max bitrate is 1000

i am using NVENC

[techguru]

max bitrate is 1000

thats probably a bit low

thats only 1mb

try 1800-2000

[clayton1233]

thats probably a bit low

thats only 1mb

try 1800-2000

ok ill try it now

[techguru]

also..yes your system is a bit low powered to be gaming and streaming

[itachipirate]

thats probably a bit low

thats only 1mb

try 1800-2000

He has a dual-core Athlon, don't tell him to increase his bitrate! 1mbps up is enough for 720/30fps and he's doing like 480/25fps. He needs to lower his bitrate to help out his CPU as much as possible

i am streaming minecraft. i was fine till  today. did obs get a update in the past few days. it looks different

what should i lowwer it to?

[itachipirate]

I'd do like 700-800. If your bitrate is too low (And OBS doesn't say "high CPU encoding") you will drop frames, try to get it as low as possible without dropping any frames

except he's using NEVC encoding off his GPU, not his CPU. Even with such a weak CPU it should have little impact with his encoding method.

His CPU still has to stream the information to whatever streaming service he uses, the NVENC just encodes the video

[clayton1233]

i lowered it to 700 and i still got high encoding warning

[techguru]

His CPU still has to stream the information to whatever streaming service he uses, the NVENC just encodes the video

well what he really should be doing is just encoding the video and then uploading it afterwards

[clayton1233]

my game also seamed to have dropped alot of frames

[TroubleKlef]

His CPU still has to stream the information to whatever streaming service he uses, the NVENC just encodes the video

 

which again has little impact. Encoding is the tough part.
