Thanks in advance! at 360p i would try 320kbps for video, 64 for audio, should leave about ~100kbps for sc2. i havent personally tried this so im not sure if sc2 can manage with even 100kbps. | ||

Are you using the latest version? edit: Oh, I think I see what you're doing. Are you just right clicking the preview window and unchecking "Enable View"? You have to actually press the Stop Preview button for the stream preview to actually be disabled. It's not what i am talking about. Even after starting stream if preview stream is not enabled, it still shows it. Right clicking should mean to disable it completely but it just doesn't show it but still produce the preview thats why it takes the cpu load. | ||

Basicly i have more FPS with OBS in full HD 60 fps than Xsplit with 720P. I am in the range of 30-40 fps with XSplit and over 100 with OBS. Ive also done it with xsplit with game source, screen region and dxtory. Aero disabled and aero enabled, none can compete with OBS performance here. I have about 120 fps when streaming Dishonored maxed out at with stream set at 60 fps and 720P. If i set it at 1080P it only goes down to 80-90 fps ingame. Thats pretty crazy. | ||

PC Specs - 2600K@4.8Ghz + SLI GTX460 1920 x 1080 60Hz Game settings - Textures, shaders, and models all on highest settings with 4x FXAA and 4x Filtering + VSync OBS settings - 480p x 30fps output @ 864kbit stream capturing using DXTory Able to encode and stream 30fps flawlessly while maintaining avg in game fps of 50-60fps. Great work OBS. If I find time outside of work I'd love to contribute to the git project. I currently have a broken finger but will post my SC results in a few weeks time. | ||

twoscomp: Why are you using DXtory with OBS ? OBS window capture is alot faster than DXtory. | ||

Does anybody have any suggestions on how what settings I should use and how I can manage at 240p-360p stream without the internet lagging (with the assumption my computer can handle it, which I think I can) (if possible). Thanks in advance! I can tell you that anything over 240p will make the stream look even worse due to heavy artifacts (they look like really big pixels and you can't see anything anymore). I have some experience with shitty upstream bit rates. .5 just isn't enough for more and if you try it out, you'll see that 360p will start showing artifacts while 240p looks pretty much just as bad, but more or less without artifacts. Anyway, if it really is full .5 you can go for 400kbps video and 96kpbs audio and should be fine. Test your bandwidth to make sure, though, and adjust accordingly. If audio isn't that important, set it to 64 and put all that's left into video. Oh, and if you need some upstream for surfing, take 50 to 100kbit off the video bit rate. | ||

1920x1080 at 60fps @ veryfast is out of range for me (with an i7 9xx @4ghz with ht on), Anything more than ~45 will drop frames with fast camera scrolling (scroll wheel held down moving mouse, etc) or during stressful scenes, and encode performance should be almost identical between pc's of the same specs, even if capture performance is different. You probably dont have solid 60fps with enough cpu room during hard to encode scenes or scene changes to avoid frame drops or other issues | ||

You probably dont have solid 60fps with enough cpu room during hard to encode scenes or scene changes to avoid frame drops or other issues In Dishonored its 80fps stable while looking from a rooftop across the entire city at 1080@60fps. It jumps from 80-95. CPU isnt everything, what GPU do you have ? I have GTX580, also running from an SSD which helps alot with streaming. I have also disabled hyperthreading which you MUST do with your CPU. Newer cpus dont use hyperthreading but older ones like i7-9xxx get a solid boost from it when DISABLED. In DayZ (Arma2) i went from 30fps to 115 fps when disabling hyperthreading. Its not the same in every game, but the problem with hyperthreading is it adds virtual cores to your real ones. So performance gets spread on virtual cores which will lower your real performance. | ||

My I7-960 is a quad core. With hyperthreading enabled you get 4 additional cores which are virtually (software based). Some games utilize these just fine, but other games like Arma 2, Dishonored, Max Payne are not. So performance gets spread out evenly on 8 cores which ends up giving you alot less performance than having your performance spread out on 4 real cores. References: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper-threading http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?80223-Arma-2-amp-Core-i7-Hyperthreading-Tested And encoding performance ? Its stable at 60 frames per second, completely smooth. I can put up my stream if you like with my computer spec showing and everything. | ||

m1rk3 - Thank you for reporting that with the default mic issue, that's a bug on my part. In the mean time, you can fix it by setting one of your recording inputs as a "default" input in windows sound control panel. | ||

1) Is the local file option working? I specified a path but the directory is empty whether I'm in local mode or I'm streaming and set it to also save a local copy. If it's not in yet, that's fine. That's actually my preferred use case though, since I want to create short 1-5 minute learning videos and will want to run them through a video editor locally. 2) I'm not seeing chop or lost FPS but I'm getting strange in-game command lag. I'm just fooling around in a unit tester custom map by myself, but as time goes on my commands are lagging further and further behind. I just started my channel on twitch.tv so you can see what I'm doing with my tests there: http://www.twitch.tv/rasmfrackn I've got a i7-870@stock 2.93GHz and a GTX 460, for reference. I'm fairly usage-savvy but I've never been too knowledgeable about hardware benchmarks, especially the mobo stuff like bridges. Also, I can't wait for the "start stream" hotkey. If I don't end up needing any editing after recording a video, I would love to have it standalone already, without the few seconds of my desktop at the beginning of each video due to how quickly the streaming starts.  Thanks! Rasmfrackn | ||
