Also its not just a disconnect, sometimes OBS will just crash, also it will sometimes just not operate correctly (tons of dropped frames). 35/5 up and streaming at 2.8 up. He is using an avermedia cap card. | ||

He is using an avermedia cap card. If OBS is crashing he should post a log on the forums. Dropped frames sounds like he might be using an old version. | ||

EDIT: Dont have crash logs. Also the preview screen will sometimes go completely black. This has been happening for awhile I guess. The stream will keep working but the preview screen will break. It will fix itself when the stream restarts. | ||

1) I have .96 Mbps for upload speed so what do I need to input for max bitrate and buffer size and quality balance in "settings" in the "encoding" tab? I looked at the link that GTR provided but I also don't have a i3 or i5 or i7. Mine is a Quad-Core. 2) After I added my sources it says to click on "edit scenes" but it's not letting me click on it..it's just not a button plz someone help i need it badly lol | ||

The Setting I would be looking for will be for streaming League of legends. If i could just get opinions on how to stream it also if i should use the game capture or just screen region. http://www.speedtest.net/result/2395077174.png Down: 36.28 Up:4.93 Ping:20ms (This is to the nearest Server to the Twitch.tv server) System Specs: Processor: AMD FX(tm)-4170 Quad-Core Processor (4 CPUs), ~4.6GHz Memory: 16384MB RAM Card name: 2x Radeon HD 7700 Series Crossfired (1gb and 2gb) | ||

I randomly get massive frame rate drops whilst playing any game for longer than 5 ish mins. Sometimes before 5 mins, sometimes 10 mins plus, it varies. When I start streaming, I get a nice, steady framerate of about 50fps, its flawless... then it will randomly out of nowhere drop to 3 to 6 fps... and will last like this until the game is restarted. Comp specs: AMD FX 8120 8 Core processor 16GB Ram 1TB HD Nvidia 560Ti gfx card 1GB Internet: 50MB Download 20MB Upload I Use OBS to stream, and I use 4500kbps bitrate and buffer size. Quality: 10 x264 CPU Preset: very fast (I want to stream in 1080p, and I want the quality to be nice, so i set it to very fast, (gets rid of pixells when moving around)) If anyone knows why this could be happening, and a possible fix, let me know! Heres an example of the fps drops: http://www.twitch.tv/beardybum/b/350779606 skip to 3:52. *Things I have tried* Lowering the bitrate Lowering the quality Making the cpu preset superfast Making OBS affinity all cores, and few cores Thanks! | ||

You will want to try a lower resolution first. Assuming you're playing in 1080p, try streaming at 960x540 with quality at 8 and bitrate at 1000 | ||

The cause of this (same reason that it happens with ffsplit) is that your bitrate is just to high. I also do not recommend doing 1080p on any FX chip simply because they have a hard enough time gaming alone. Add on the load of encoding and thats your cause for such an fps loss. Try lowering your bitrate to 2.5k (go down to 2k if you have the same issue) and work your way up until you start having issues again. | ||

Veryfast to fast wont help quality very much at all, its just placebo effect really. You get like 5% gains at a ton of CPU usage cost, so its basically not worth using it, and Superfast vs veryfast more than doubles the bitrate you need to encode at the same quality while only taking ~6% off the cpu load veryfast would use | ||

Try lowering your bitrate to 2.5k (go down to 2k if you have the same issue) and work your way up until you start having issues again. I have to disagree with pretty much all of this - Bitrate wont affect your performance in an offline game. It can make the STREAM run at like 2fps or not at all, can disconnect you or give you extreme ping in an online game, but playing something like Far Cry 3 offline, you could drop every frame on the stream and not notice. FX chips perform poorly in gaming because of their awful single threaded performance. They have more cores, and an 8xxx will have better encode performance than any i5, with the game also able to use less of the CPU's resources as an overall percentage - you can tackle even more aggressive stream settings. There should be no issues here for a 1920x1080p30 stream @veryfast, not even close. Encoding in general, if you have a powerful CPU (i5/fx-8k) seems to have minimal if any performance impact on any game that wont use a large % of the CPU's resources. SC2 for example puts a modern i5 at 25-40% utilization at most, but CPU bottlenecks. ^Screen/game capture tends to hurt the performance of pretty much any game by a large margin, but if you are already capturing and hit the encode button (and start utilizing the cpu that encoding takes) then you dont see many if any changes in performance with such a system. | ||

You can disagree but i'm just answering from personal experience. I know that any 8xxx FX chip should have no problem with 1080p, but 1080p and SC2 will give you terrible performance. Sure the stream will be nice, but good luck getting past 125-150 supply. | ||

Thats not gonna change. If you are running the game and capturing it at 1920x1080, it doesnt matter if you stream at 640x360, 960x540, 1280x720, 1920x1080 etc, the game performance will still be the same ^This is NOT a problem with the resolution or encoding being too much for the CPU, its simply a case of the game performance being awful and the performance penalties on the game running from capturing the screen or the game. Game performance - game performance hits while capturing - encode performance ^Three factors that MUST be kept separately for an informed discussion. I dont mean any offense or pretend to know a ton of shit, but ive done a lot of research and as it turns out 99.9% of the users of such streaming programs dont have anything close to an advanced understanding of how they work, how when or why games run like they do, or the capabilities of X cpu's accurately. There's also a lot of people posting a lot of inaccurate information, rarely from just not knowing any better, without being corrected, which creates an environment that is very difficult to learn in for people in general and discourages more advanced discussion | ||

What about your ingame graphics settings? | ||
