8700k encoding problem

8700K ENCODING PROBLEM?

ive tried to encode with 8700k while streaming overwatch and pubg

and i need your help.

i can easily stream pubg 1080p60fps 900p 60fps and 720p60fps all this on 6k bitrate.

but when i tried 1080p60fps in overwatch the encoded fps would jump around 30-60
when swiched to 900p60fps it would jump around 45-60
when switched to 720p60fps it would be like 55-60

cpu temps are like 65c

usage is also somewhere to 50-60

PC Specs.

Seasonic 650W FOCUS+ 650 Gold, full modular ATX-power

Noctua NH-D14,
LGA775/115x/1366 AM3/A

G.Skill 16GB (2x8GB), Ripjaws V, DDR4 3200MHz, CL16

Keep in mind that when you're streaming. Internet connection plays a big role. Judging from your settings, temps and CPU usage, all your parts are fine. Meaning that the problem is mostly coming from your internet upload speed.

You proved this with your test:
but when i tried 1080p60fps in overwatch the encoded fps would jump around 30-60
when swiched to 900p60fps it would jump around 45-60
when switched to 720p60fps it would be like 55-60

If you're internet speed is not very fastor if you get a lot of internet lag spikes, you should drop your bitrate. You might wanna try using 4-5k bitrate for 720p6ofps and 5-6k bitrate for 1080p60fps. Having too high of bitrate at 720p60fps would actually make it bad for your viewers believe it or not.

Keep in mind that the higher the bitrate, the better your viewer's internet connection needs to be. If it's too high, people with standard speed connections will view your stream at 10fps or so.

Also, if you're using OBS or XSplit. Don't set it to 60fps. Set it to 59.4 (I think that was it. It's 59.something)

I have 50megabit upload speed and as i mentioned i can easily stream pubg full hd 60fps with 6k bitrate the problem is the dropping fps in (OBS) while trying to stream/encode the encoder will not send constant 60fps i have also tried 59.94 fps it still does this thing where it drops my encoding fps.. i have no idea why

Okay. Can you provide more details about your output settings? encoder format, key frame intervals, rate control, cpu usage presets, etc.. etc...

Change key frame intervals to "2" and change CPU usage to something lower like "faster" but honestly most of your settings look correct/good.

It may be due to the game themselves then, try turning off things like motion blur or vertical sync as these often interfere with recordings and streams.

You may want to look on Google if people are experiencing issues with the same games as yours because all the settings look good.

If it works with PUBG but not with Overwatch, than it definitely has something to do with the game settings themselves.

i think i have everything set to low in game too and have no vertical sync etc enabled. well i hope someone comes up with something thankyou for your time too!

 

[aaro.kutvola]

its also now happening on pubg...

 

[julienruc]

What are your CPU and GPU usage and temps like while on idle? And while on load?

 

[aaro.kutvola]

They are very low when idle. Gpu is always when gaming 70C and cpu is like 45 when not streaming and if im streaming it might go to like 65

 

[julienruc]

Have you tried reducing the CPU usage preset to see if it's making a difference?

 

[julienruc]

Also, have you uodate your GPU driver using GeForce experience? If not, do it.
If yes, try rolling back and re-updating the driver.
I am saying this in case you're not using direct 12 (I think this update came out a few months ago only)

 

[julienruc]

Have you also tried only gaming and streaming and closing everything else (for RAM purposes). There's cases where you might have 16Gb of RAM but only 10 is "active"

 

[aaro.kutvola]

i have tried reducing doesnt make any difference. 8700k should be capaple of pushing even medium preset but mine wont even push stable veryfast (2nd worst)

 

[aaro.kutvola]

ive tried limiting threads / limited my webcams resolution to smaller / locking fps ingame / limiting webcams fps / put encoder to highpriority nothing this seems to matter it just keeps dropping fps.

I am quite puzzled. Hopefully someone else will be able to help you from here on now as I don't know where it can come from. The only other logical explanation I can think of is that something is interfering with cooling as your temperatures on Idle seem normal. Check the thermal paste and if heat sink is properly mounted.

problem was having my 60hz and 144hz plugged in to same gpu switched my 60hz monitor to my 8700k integrated gpu and all problems disappeared.

Yes it definitely should be more than capable that's for sure. I really am puzzled by your problem here. I think I'm gonna let someone else take it from here.
