    4. Always launch OBS as Administrator

      true you can prioritize in the properties aswel. but than again windows will make his own choice to prioritize gameing instead of OBS. you should always run it manually to force prio it.
      if it worked for you, than you probabbly had no isseus running it normalwise aswel.

    Dude... so here's the thing. I had everything set to run as administrator, not just OBS so I was getting GPU encoding overloaded no matter what I tried and I was getting so infuriated by this. This video helped me realize that turning off run as administrator for my games and just leaving Game mode on would help! Now I've gone from 5% overload to none!
    What pisses me off is that I scoured the internet for literal MONTHS looking for a solution only to find out that it was as simple as turning off administrative properties for my games and leaving game mode on.

    Good info. Here's another streamer tip, (if you are not already doing) all of your stingers, trans, and media encode them ahead in Apple ProRes 4444 uncompressed, this will avoid cpu/GPU from NVDEC a.k.a decode to free up processing. Great video!👍

    Great stuff. I took the tips and applied them on my Ryzen 5 1400 quad core and EVGA 1060 3g system and it improved a lot. Goodbye 400 dropped frames in 2 hours.
    The only issue is I'm still dropping frames. I'm hardwired in to my modem/router combo and all that good stuff (can't replace that because it's not mine to replace). In a 2 hour stream I dropped 113 frames on a fairly simple game to run (Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4) and I can't figure out what it could be that's still making me drop those frames.

  • @nate-castro
    @nate-castro 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Don't wanna contradict the guy on the "Run as Admin" recommendation, but there's a catch that might have been overlooked. Rather than just the priority (which helps a lot in terms of resource allocation), there's something that happens when he goes and cranks the settings. I've faced this issue on my own with a 3950x/RTX2080 (all water cooled) system.
    My OBS was dropping frames because I was capturing at 1440p but downscaling to 1080p, so on top of the game capturing, the camera, and the encoding there was the downscaling (CPU under 30%).
    The reason for the downscaling was to save on bitrate since Facebook goes on 1080p60 (~6000kbps).
    So, gotta make sure your resolution, canvas and output are the same if you don't want your system to waste resources in upscaling or downscaling, thus dropping frames.
    Since I changed my output resolution to the same as my canvas and capture 1440p, dropping frames issues have gone

    @RingoFreakingStarr 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm glad that single PC streaming is becoming more of a thing. Lower barrier to entry for people just trying to get into streaming. However, I still love my 2PC setup because it really simplifies things. Even with running OBS as admin in the past, certain games just would not cooperate with OBS running while the game was running (and this was on an extremely beefy system). There was also issues with capturing monitors/windows/game processes in certain situations within OBS.
    With a dual PC setup, it's as simple as either using NDI to send video and/or audio over your local network to your 2nd PC or sending out a mirrored video signal into a capture card on the 2nd PC. I use NDI Scan Convertor which takes up very little CPU resources and send audio over the network utilizing VoiceMeeter's network protocol VBAN. With all of this, you just can focus on running only the game on your main PC while your 2nd PC takes care of all the OBS stuff. Again, it isn't a matter of making the stream "look better", it's more of a quality of life improvement that also further limits rendering, encoding, and other screen capturing issues on a single PC setup that you might encounter in OBS.
