Hi all!
I bought myself a "new" (used) GPU today, a GTX 950. Didn't want anything too fancy, just something that I could use to have a mess around playing GTA V and hopefully help out
streaming (Using purely as a streaming PC for Xbox Series X with an Elgato)
It's been a LONG time since I used a dedicated GPU but got it fitted no problem, downloaded the drivers and all seems to be working.
I did a benchmark on Uningine (again, never used before in my life) and got a score of 1740 with an FPS of 69.1 which will mean a lot more to many of you, that it does to me haha.
I'm using an i5 4690S for my encoding at the moment. Lovely at 720p, but a lot of artifacting at 1080p after 5/10 minutes. The nvidia app auto changed the settings in OBS to use the GPU and I thought I'd do a quick recording at
1080p just to see what happened: No missed frames due to rendering lag and a HUGE amount of missed frames due to rendering lag. Dropped it down to 720p and the same thing happened. First question was, is this normal? Or
could/should I expect better recording performance than when using my processor?
Secondly, I've noticed when I scroll on Microsoft Edge, it also look like some lines "tear apart" if that makes sense. Also, if I try and play a previously recorded video, it can barely play it..,..It will play 1 or 2 seconds then freeze for 5 or 6 seconds, play a couple more, then the same again. But it is only on recorded videos, when I open YouTube it plays absolutely fine...just a bit strange.
Any help you can give me would be much appreciated!
