Great, thank you ! But I have no idea why my screen is black using Game Capture but the sound can he heard.
If i try to use Windows Capture with the game in Borderless Window, the stream works, but my fps's are dropping around 15-20, which is unplayable.

What should I look fixing ?

IDK, what's FPS like with and without running recording?

Many of my games don't work with game capture (they used to almost all work, but now like three quarters of them don't?) but for the ones that need it, window capture works alright, just not well.

I heard you can use something like dxtory for capturing and passing image to OBS, but that's more complicated

It's also weirder to look at performance and capture on a laptop because they usually have and use both the iGPU and the dedicated GPU. On a system like mine, the igpu isn't being used and i can disable it without a second thought if there's something fucky with it giving problems with game capture, but you can't do that on a laptop

Could someone confirm anyway that Dota 2 works with game capture? I could test myself but i'd have to download it again

I tested my stream with dota like a week ago and I was using game capture like with all my other games and it worked fine.

Edit. Just retested, works fine for me.

I have like 80-90 FPS without recording, but when I press start on streaming, my FPS's are going down to like 20.
For the 1st time when I tried to make my own settings on OBS, without consulting anyone, and the Game Capture worked, I had like 40 FPS which was playable but from time to time there were some very quick freeze, randomly.

I can confirm also that Game Capture works on Dota 2, but I have no idea tho why is not working anymore...

It's not a bad program, but you shouldn't have NVENC running 24/7 (having shadowplay on shadow mode etc)

NVENC is the encoder that's ran 24/7 if you have Shadowplay turned on in default config (which people tend to do when they install geforce experience) which will impact performance depending on your hardware and can mess with stuff like screen capture perhaps.

In this case though i'd guess it's some fuckery with the integrated graphics making it awkward for capture (black screens) on laptop

This can be a pretty logical thing, because when I tried for the 1st time to stream using OBS and Game Capture worked, in the next few moments some NVidia thing asked for update and I did it. Could be this one.
I will disable it and come back with details.

Hey guys! Can you tell me what is the recommended setting for my stream on twitch. My setup is:
CPU: i5 4440 3.1Ghz
GPU: GTX 760 2GB
RAM: 8 GB
My upload: http://www.speedtest.net/result/4212087544.png
I now stream in 1080p 30fps with bit 3500 (CBR) , but i have so pixelation, also and on my webcam Also i use x264 veryfast. I streaming chiefly World of Warcraft but and other heavy games...
Thanx in advance!

Edit: I now switch my settings to 720p 30fps on 2500 bit on x264 faster (CPU is not loaded) Is it ok?

Yes, but you can just use 3500 there too

you could try medium preset for 720p30 but my CPU is about 75% faster than yours for video encoding so i'm not really sure how well it would work. It's no problem for me to run a resolution+fps like that at med preset when playing most of my games, though. WoW leaves a true quad core CPU about half to two thirds idle because most of the load is on one thread.

Dota works fine for me with game capture, but trying to stream dota in windowed fullscreen is a huge problem for me, on normal fullscreen and using game capture i use about 70% of my CPU, while in windowed fullscreen i exceed 95% and thus end up getting errors and all sorts because its cant keep up the encoding i guess. (my game capture actually works in windowed fullscreen too)

I had black screen issue too after i updated, it was just OBS not working with fraps loaded any more while playing WoW. Happy that it runs now without crashing though :D

So I have the problem of having a 4.7mbps upload speed. When I preveiw the stream my bitrate shown matches this, but as soon as I start an actual stream I begin to drop lots of frames and have at last a 1mpbs drop in my bitrate, even if I lower the bitrate it still drops even more than its beginning position. Is this something unique to my computer/connection or is this a general problem? I can post all the info and screenshots you need.
