Streaming issues

[HelloNurse]

Hello,

I recently upgraded my mb,ram,cpu to start streaming because i was having issues with my fx 8350.

So i upgraded to an MSI X370 gaming pro titanium ryzen 7 1800x ( i know its unecessary but it was on sale cheaper than the 1700 and 1700x) and 2 x 8gb ddr4 3200mhz flare x from g skill and im using my old gtx970 sli and a coolermaster psu 750watz 80+ bronze.

Now when i play fortnite i usually have 150fps or so and sometimes 90fps depends on where i am and sometimes 200fps when i start streaming or even recording on obs i feel the game slow and as the time passes  i get lower and lower fps.

I have seen quite a few streamers streaming with a gtx970 and an intel cpu but none of them had many issues they had only issues with the cpu.

I dont know what my issue is but im guessing it might be my gpu?My gpu has 60-80 % load when playing fortnite and my cpu around 20% and when trying to stream my gpu goes 70-80% and cpu 40% but im lagging a lot so i cant play.

Also my temps are cpu 50-55 when gaming and streaming at the same time gets 70c when 100% load on benchmarking and my gpu goes 50-62 max under load 

 

Anyone knows what the issue might be? thank you in advance

Sounds like memory leak to me, but I may be wrong...

 

Are you encoding with CPU or GPU?

i tried both but nothing changes it still lags (sometimes im not dropping fps but i feel a lot of lag and the game is slow)

Can you set one 970 to run the game and the other to encode? That might take some load off. It might also be a problem with SLI

i cant, it only works on the gpu that runs the game  (sli doesnt actually work on fortnite anw)

Hmm that might be your problem. You might be able to set it up like that if you disabled SLI in the Nvidia control panel and removed your SLI bridge.

 

My theory: GPUs(and everything else) in your computer are numbered, 0 through however many you have. SATA ports for example will be labelled 0,1,2,3,4,5,6 on a board that has 6 SATA ports. Number 0 is by default the primary port. What I'm imagining is if you stopped your GPUs from working in tandem, you could set GPU0(your primary GPU) to run the game, and set GPU1(your secondary GPU) to encode the stream.

i was thinking the same but i checked a few youtube videos which said it can only encode on the card that your game is running

Apparently it was my ssd issue. i used my mb bios choice to format it and now it works great! thanks for the help anw
