Question / Help Obs Super laggy

[yoitsJuun]

Recently I’ve been trying to stream Fortnite on OBS. I’ve been messing with the settings quite a bit and can’t figure out what is right for my pc. I’ve lowered the bit rate and FPS and still is super choppy and lagging. Even though this is all happening my Fortnite is running smooth. If anyone can help me that would be a big help.

Specs:

-AMD FX-63000

–8.00 GB Ram

-Radeon RX 460

If you still have problems afterwards, post a logfile:

Please post a log with your issue! Here's how...

So I used the auto-configuration wizard and didn't notice a change at all. My recordings and stream was still super laggy and noticed that it couldn't handle the settings. Here is my logfile https://obsproject.com/logs/cRnRRNT7_5Zzg1__

No output session in your log.

Open OBS. Start an output session, either stream or record. Observe your issue. End the output session. Upload the Current log without quitting OBS.

Just recorded a little clip and is still laggy. https://obsproject.com/logs/YebIk3UoxIqGSWvj

GPU overload.

GPU Overload Issues

OBS Studio - Free and open source software for live streaming and screen recording - obsproject/obs-studio

Unlike NVENC, AMF is not free to use and consumes GPU resources.

How can I reduce the GPU overload? Should I use x264 or AVC Encoder (AMD).

 

[Narcogen]

Read the link.

AMD encoder uses your GPU. x264 does not, but that's because it uses your CPU.

Ways to reduce GPU load, in no particular order:

Reduced framerate, reduced resolution, frame cap your captured applications.

Alright thank you. And should I use a display capture or Game/Window capture. I have tried window capture before but my screen just freezes up.

 

[Narcogen]

Game if it works. If not, then window. If not that, then display.

Ok. Thank you very much. Still a little laggy here and there but definitely a lot better.
