obs high encoding when streaming

[itachipirate]

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

For a dual-core Athlon paint is probably tough. He also has to play whatever he's playing which puts load on the CPU. Have you ever had a dual-core Athlon? It's not fun to use

[itachipirate]

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

that ruins the glory of livestreaming

[clayton1233]

i have gone down to a max bitrate of 64 and i still got the high encoding warning

[techguru]

i have gone down to a max bitrate of 64 and i still got the high encoding warning

its just telling you that it needs more bitrate

not less

[clayton1233]

its just telling you that it needs more bitrate

not less

ok ill try going higher and see what i get

[clayton1233]

wait, today i connected a second monitor. would that have anything to do with the high encoding

[clayton1233]

i guess not because i tried unplugging it and i still had high encoding

[clayton1233]

i havent been able to fix it ive went up to 30000 max bitrate

CPU? what are your x264 CPU preset? Resolution your recording at?

[Speaker1264]

This is the second thread you made about the same thing.

i know but i was getting help the no one woukld help anymore so i made a new one

Your cpu isn't strong enough to stream and game at the same time.  Buy a better cpu.

I've been using OBS for a long time and I haven't noticed any changes recently.  Which version are you using? Windows, OSX, Linux, and if windows are you using the Original or the Multi-Platform version?  Have you been streaming with a different game?  You may have been fine streaming games before, but if you recently switched to a more cpu intensive game then it will struggle.

Open task manager and watch your cpu utilization.  Check other processes that are utilizing the CPU, and if you can close any of them.  If not then there is nothing you can do but get a better cpu.

do you know of any other ways of streaming other than obs and x-split?

[clayton1233]

i lost alot of frames ingame for some reason when i launched it 

[Speaker1264]

OBS is probably the best way of streaming.

When you launched what?  Task manager?  That is because your cpu is hitting 100% usage and has to take cpu time away from OBS to open task manager.  Like I said, you probably need a better cpu.

when i was streaming minecraft i was running at like 20fps and i usually get between 100 and 200 when i stream

Streaming or recording?  Streaming is going to put a much heavier load on your computer than recording.  Also if you could take some screenshots of your Encoding, Video, and Advanced settings and upload them to imgur I can take a look.

[clayton1233]

i couldnt upload them

[evilarceus]

Dual core and 2GB of RAM for streaming? No, just no.
