obs Streaming using OBS and NO NVENC.

Hi Linus and team @ Linustechtips.

I am no stranger to gaming and such on PCs but I have one issue. As you can see by the links here GT 1030 Graphics and here: System Specs I now have a decent enough system (compared to my dinosaur (P4 3.06ghz, 4gb, HD 5450, Windows 7 system that is! lol). I have also 2 monitors, (well an LG LG 26LG3000 26in LCD TV running 1920 x 1080 res and a 19 inch BlueH monitor running 1366 x 768 res) and can run most of my games from Euro Truck Simulator 2 with Promods 2.26, Farming Simulator 17 Platinum, Star trek Online, Lockon Flaming Cliffs 2 AND DCS World with F15C, A10C and SU27 modules, at full graphics settings with well over 40fps with no issues. But, I have an issue with trying to stream anything using OBS. Yeah I know NVENC is supposed to be the option to pick, but being out of work I cannot afford to buy another new graphics card.

If you check out my Twitch page here: you can see some of the issues I'm having. Either the res is too high, or its so slow it'll make a sloth look fast.

Here is my internet speed diagnosis from Speedtest.net but no matter what I've tried nothing seems to work properly. Yeah I already know that the GT1030 does NOT have NVENC (I didn't how ever know this at the time).

Are there any tips using my current system specs without having to fork out for another card or anything else to upgrade this system any further.

Please.

Love your YouTube channels and watch for the hardware porn (currently watching the Cooler Master Seam Ripper (sorry Threadripper 1950x build).

Hoping to hear from you soon.

Thanks.

The wrong recording resolution could be something to do with OBS, idk

 

By 'slow', you mean the frame rates of recording is slow? Lowering graphical settings and bitrate can help, but an i3 like this one is nowhere near capable of streaming.

 

Should have bought a 750ti really, being a GTX card it has NVENC and ShadowPlay, while the GT 1030 has neither.

Again as I mentioned earlier, I am out of work so don't have the money to get a better card. The GT 1030 cost me £80 was the best I could afford at the time. Also if you check out the long video here: you can see just what I mean.
