I am using a duo core i3 oc'ed to 3.5ghz. I've noticed a significant fps improvement using this update. Thanks!
|
I've tried the same settings with TF2 and it works awful. Granted, it worked awful before on my dual core, but I was wondering if there was any reason for this too?
It feels like 12 fps in game although I get 120.
I even reduced quality to 7 and kbps to 800 out of 1500 max.
|
incredible, I used to not be able to stream L4D2 or Portal 2, it would be incredibly choppy and un-enjoyable, even with my 1090t x6 at 3.8 and everything, replaced that file and ran MW2 (much more graphically intense) and it ran silky smooth
Good find, thanks for posting.

Well, for what its worth Xvid is the second best video encoder quality wise, and is also EXTREMELY efficient in cpu use, so possible alternative to the megahog of x264
|
Dam. Thanks again, I will be testing to see how much it gets better later today on my stream.

How do i get xsplit to use the Xvid encoder?
Is this even possible?
|
The ffdshow codec pack has it, not sure if it works with xsplit but camtasia and hypercam detected it
|
Does it works only on 4 core + ? What about 2 cores ?
|
Thank you very much for this guide Rich. I'm an xsplit user myself, so anything that can increase the quality of video using resources that should be available in the first place is greatly appreciated. I'm at work at the moment, but I'm very excited to get home and try this out.

R1CH... I love you, thanks much!

I've tried using DXTory to do the capturing and it seems to be significantly slower then just using Xsplit by itself.
Xsplit was capturing at 30-40fps and DXtory would be 20-30fps.
Maybe i'm doing something wrong but I doubt it.
System:
i7-2600K not-OC'd
4GB 1333-ram
Geforce 8800 GTX
All game settings on Low.
Not sure what i'm doing wrong with DXtory I set its video settings for the outputs to 1920x1080 60fps.
I output at 720p 15fps, vid 850 kbps sound 64kbps, preset Slow.
I'll try to do some more indepth testing somehow with vod'ing or something later on. I feel my G-card and inet upload(1mb) is my bottle necks.
|
when i try to do this i get this message:

use google translate from Norwegian to your language to translate it.
I would love to get some help on this, because i am supposed to stream some clan stuff.

change preset from slow to standard/faster and try again (this lowers quality but is less heavy on your cpu).
i have an oced i7 920 @ 3.6 ghz and using the modded x264 that r1ch posted with the slow option pushes my cpu @ 60%
|
I'm running my preset on veryfast and there's no noticeable quality change and the framerate runs fine. Just experiment with it, I have veryfast with a quality of 10 and it looks just fine.
|
OH boy, i gotta test this - thanks!
edit: yes this certainly has helped my computer's performance when streaming. thanks r1ch
|
I'm having some fps issues while streaming but they're not constant, every now and then i notice a drop in fps and then it goes back to normal which is smooth. I've tried changing settings within xsplit and nothing seems to help. :/
Specs:
i7 920 @ 2.6 (yeh stock cooling ;p)
12GB DDR3 RAM
Dual 260GTX SLI'd

Sure its not a CPU issue? I have the same CPU as you do, and i remember having some performance issues when i ran at stock.
I was able to OC my 920 to 3.2 with the stock cooler, running at 65-70c at full load.

yeah i got that just extract into My Documents and than manually take the file into C:\Program Files\SplitMediaLabs\XSplit and it should work fine
