Dropping frames

[S a f a r i m a n]

I have an I7 6700k and a GTX 760 and when streaming if I encode with the x264 option I have some skipped frames by obs (Not a performance issue in any game) but when streaming encoding with nvidia NVENC I don't get any skipped frames

My connection sucks,I have something around 0.8Mbps in upload and my current max bitrate in OBS is 692Kbps with a buffer size of 500Kbps.

Not that I'm not comfortable with nvidia encoding or something but I've got a 6700k for streaming with "no holds back"(performance wise,My connection is the real issue lol),but i was just wondering why if I encode with my gpu I don't have any skipped frames by obs and with my cpu yes.

 

(I don't really know where I should post this,so feel free to move it)

 

 

Sorry for bad english and grammar :c

CPU encoding is generally very tasking, so unless you use a high core count CPU, frame drops are quite often. Nvidia's GPU encoding uses the hardware encoder on the GPU itself, removing the stress of encoding frames from the CPU, making the game run smoother.

But I've seen people streaming with a 6700k and not having any issue whatsoever

clock speed of your 6700k?

 

Also, they might be using other software.

4.0GHz (stock) because here it's still hot and I don't like having 75 on my cpu,but I can get a 4.5GHz stable
