How To Fix Nvenc Encoder Overload in OBS Studio + Best Quality Settings 2020!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- After I built my new streaming computer I started using the new Nvenc encoder to livestream instead of my CPU, however, I kept getting the error encoder overload from OBS Studio.
I searched for help on the internet and quickly realized most people had no idea what they were talking about and worse yet, they wanted me to turn the quality of my stream down in order to fix the issue.
Needless to say, none of that helped and the fix was actually quite simple and still allowed me to max out all the quality settings inside OBS Studio for my livestream!

If you're also looking for the most up to date settings I use for the best quality at 1080p 60fps when streaming to Twitch, I made my updated settings video for the year 2021 which can be found here ua-cam.com/video/lPhskwaDNVc/v-deo.html
ok thanks
This is literally the best guide on streaming with obs and nvidia ever. I had so much issues and you explained everything absolutely perfekt. I stream now 720p in top notch quality and I love it.
Glad I could help! Thanks for the kind words!
I was going crazy looking for an answer about this and out of nowhere you drop this video if this isn't a sign idk what is but this really helped man thank you!!!!!!!! A life saver!!!
Yeah man, no worries. It was driving me crazy for like two weeks haha! Figured someone else had to be suffering from it as well 😂😂😂
This drove me crazy for like two weeks!!! I hope it helps someone else out! haha
Yeah me too, sometimes all of a sudden the stream dropped frames up to 55% -.- im using a i9 9900K+ RTX 2080 Super.... it drove me crazy that the streaming performance is kinda worse then on my old system hahah! I used your advice now, i hope it really fixes the problem , i will see when i fire up the stream later :P If not.... ill just fire up my PC :P
Anyways, thanks in advance! :D
Hope it helps and let me know!
finallyy!! Might be the best tutorial ive ever watched on youtube!! Greatly Appreciated my friend!!!!4
Just glad it could help :)
You're a legend! Literally came to try and find settings to set up my 1660 super and walked away with obs answers i had been looking for for such a long time. thanks!!!
You're welcome sir, glad I could help!
Bro you’re underrated af this helped tremendously!!!
Glad I could help! Have a good day!
Thanks for the tips. I need to try this out in OBS. I currently am running into an nvenc issue in Streamlabs when trying to run Warzone but unchanged settings works great for Sea of Thieves. This is my first pc build so just learning as I go. Thank you again for the help!
No problem and actually I ended up going back to OBS Studio because Streamlabs doesn't support this feature as well as a lot of others. Streamlabs is easier to use but studio offers the latest features
My obs randomly started giving me this message like 2 weeks ago and my pc is amazing idk why it does this, unfortunately nothing un the video did anything, I tried re installing, and nothing worked. It all the sudden started doing this
Yeah man, was frusterating for me too. Took me like two weeks to figure out. What I shared is what worked for me and is still working. Hopefully someone else in the comments will be able to help!
same here it started all of the sudden 2 months ago for me ...idk what to do eighter
Dude... thanks a lot.. for real tho..
Ur "Run OBS as Administrators" Solution works like a charm.
I already watch other videos, changing bitrate, profile, key-frame, downscaling, encoder, etx.. None of them work :').
And and thank God i found your video.
definitely thumbs up. Keep up the great work, ma Dude
Again, thank u so much for uploading this detailed explanation about OBS (especially the "encoder overload") 😭👌
Of course, glad it helped!
Good advice even if you're not having this problem, but I'm running in admin mode with high process priority, I've tried dozens of "fixes" and I'm still having encoding issues. I'm also having the Max Audio Buffer error and it's causing OBS to stall up on me all the time and it really messes everything up for me. Before it was some old plugins like downstream keyer that were causing problems with OBS stalling and crashing constantly, but I deleted them and those problems are gone but I'm still having problems. Sometimes OBS caseuse the Windows System thread to take up 50% CPU use on my Ryzen 9 5900X, causing Encoder Overload and Render Lag and I have to exit and restart.
Have you tried doing a portable install of OBS and running that with just limited scenes and sources to see if it's a pc issue vs obs issue for sure?
Honestly it's a great thing to do even if you don't have any issues. Make a dup of obs whenever you go to make any "upgrades" to your stream in case something you add causes problems. It's so small a program you can even save old versions so far back so you can always revert back a few installs if you need to. I love portable version so much more IMO.
Bro thank you so much I’ve literally tried everything ❤
This was very helpful for someone with the same gfx as the 2080 super. Thank you!
You're welcome! Glad it helped!
Thanks a lot! It was the first video clarifying the NVEC issue...it is working!
Glad to have helped!
Great video but for me all I had to do was change my encoder preset to fast
Sir, you deserve more subs, so I subscribed. Got RTX 3060 Ti, recordings were lagging but this simple but complicated information helped. Thank you.
No problem, glad I was able to help!
yay there is also the table with best settings from Nvidia, thanks for that too!
Thank you for saving my few yet existing livestreams
You legit said all the concerns I had with m GPU. Mine is older but now I feel I can get the most out of it.
Edit: I figured out the problem, in order to fix it, I had to disable audio enhancements on the "RealTek" microphone input. The problem is it makes my audio worse but at this point I'm on my own.
I have an issue with OBS where it will frequently and very briefly not update my keyboard inputs when I'm playing a game. Sometimes this means that it won't detect an input or other times it will continue an input after I let go of the button. Before editing this I talked about it more but I have now realized that it happens whenever my mic is being recorded (like in a VC). I did download a surround sound application right before I got problems but uninstalling it didn't work, so I believe it at have changed something in the Windows settings.
I have no idea sir! Hopefully someone else in the comments will be able to help!
@@OMGItsDerek I’ve made some progress. Turns out it’s not just OBS, I tried the screen recorder for Discord and it had the same effect. Probably a Windows problem
Hope you figure it out, only time.i had something like this happen it was my actual keyboard
I'm gonna edit the comment so that if someone passes by, they will get the full information, but essentially I have limited it down to only being caused when my microphone input is being listened to (was in a VC and the problem happened; further testing proved this), which leads me to think that the download of the surround sound software created an unwanted change in Windows. I hope someone with deep expertise in Windows 10 finds this
I figured out the problem, I had to disable audio enhancements. This fixed my gameplay but unfortunately made my mic input sound substantially worse. I don't know what I'm gonna do, but at least I've pinpointed what is going on.
Thank You so much Ive been working for like 3 hours at this and your video fixed it perfectly!!!
It took me two weeks to figure out! 😭
@@OMGItsDerek I don’t have a NVENC Graphics Card im using the x264 can you help me?!?
Help you with what?
@@OMGItsDerek I need help with streaming
It’s choppy and I can’t connect with my viewers
Is there anyway I can fix that
I don’t have graphics card and I use the x264
I dunno, what issue are you having exactly? Does it say encoding overloaded? Is your game choppy as well? Need more info.
i need same thing for the recording section
Question for you. Do you know if you stream to UA-cam and use a 12k bitrate if that will hurt the viewer? I have 25-30 upload and an RTX 3080. So I want to push h.264 new. Also, I’m using my PC to capture from a game from a Ps4 pro. Should I change to 59.94 FPS? I noticed Elgato is capturing that and not 60 for whatever reason. (PS4 Pro must output 59.94)
YouTibe had transcoding by default so viewers should be able to just downscale the video so it shouldn't be an issue. And nah I'd stick with 60fps. That .06 won't be noticed and it will.keep.your actual gameplay 60. Honestly either way won't hurt anything but personally I'd stick with 60
You want to set color space in your OBS advanced settings to 709 for HD content: 601 is for SD content.
Yep, it's actually what I use, but failed to mention it in the video, thanks for pointing it out!
OMG It's Derek awesome!
Hi Derek. You have just helped me out so much you do not understand. I had the exact same problem and thanks to this it is now fixed. 🔥New subscriber from UK. All the best to you
Glad it helped
HEY I HAVE ANOTHER TIP FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO DO THIS WHILE SAVING TO A NETWORK DRIVE (lots of people put a drive on their router to save VODs from streaming PC onto editing PC - for instance my NetGear Nighthawk XR1000 has my old 1tb USB HDD attached to it)
- The problem is because running programs as administrator ends up denying you the All-Users privilege to access Network drives.
----- How to fix:
1. Open Registry Editor and go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Policies/System" (every "/" is a subfolder you need to open to get to the next bit)
2. There will be a list of things such as "ConsentPrompt" and "EnableCursorSuppression," and "ValidateAdminCodeSignatures."
3. Right-click in the empty space and select New, and then "DWORD (32-bit) value."
4. Name that DWORD value "EnableLinkedConnections" right-click it, select "Modify" and then change "Value data," from 0 to 1.
---- Basically the EnableLinkedConnections thing is a pre-baked registry that's already validated for the "All Users," group but not Administrator. I'm pretty sure this is done to prevent malware from invading your network and other devices in it, because doing this will allow one PC to modify the programs in a network drive potentially used by other PCs. If you want to disable this when not using OBS just find it again and change the Value data back to 0, restart, and you're good.
---- That being said, after I did that extra little bit (all of what I've included there comes from the www.winability.com/how-to-make-elevated-programs-recognize-network-drives/ website), I let my OBS run on my stream PC for a good little while and am currenty at 0/38400 frames skipped.
---- Phenomenal considering when I first heard "run as administrator" from others I thought this was a tip for people who streamed off their gaming rig and wanted to prioritize OBS over the game, and once I tried it I couldn't access my NAS and gave up on it. Encoding lag was still horrific though (even doing all the incorrect advice you were talking about everyone giving, like lowering quality and B-frames). Then I watched this video and told myself "there's gotta be a way to let OBS see my NAS in Administrator mode," and once I figured it out... HOLY SMOKES
Awesome man! Thanks for sharing! Great tip for sure as I also have a NAS
thank you thank you thank you! I'm using a laptop but its pretty powerful and everything was still ridiculously laggy, my streams are actually watchable now!
Awesome! Glad it helped
Thanks ! OBS is working now 😁😁
Awesome! Glad it helped!
Just watched this, will try it in tonights stream, if it works out well I'll let you know in a reply to this. Thanks friend!!!
Fingers crossed 🤞
Very helpful video been searching forever for this kind of help through the past year.
Glad it could help!
I'm using this settings but my livestram is so pixelated, can you help me?
Thanks for this video, helped a lot! Quick question though - I see a lot of people recommending to downscale to 720p 60 since 6000 bitrate might not be enough for 1080p 60. Have you had any trouble streaming at 1080p 60 with a 6000 bitrate?
I've had zero issues personally! I get told all the time my stream looks so good!
@@OMGItsDerek Great to know! Thanks for the quick response man!
No problem!
FINALLY a video where the problem I had got fixed! Thank you so much!
Haha, yeah I feel you on that one! Glad I was able to help.
Had the same problems with a rtx 3070, this helped me out big time. Thanks!
So glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
Very on point. Not new to me but for neebies perfect. And speed of 1.25 worked well ;)
Glad you enjoyed and it was a pain in my ass for a few weeks lol.
hey man, this helped me so much! Thank you, but i would really appreciate it if u did a recording settings video, when I record, the audio is fine, but the frames jump from steady 60, to like 3.4 and the mp4 comes out looking like someone took a picture of my screen every 3 seconds, plz help me
I'll add a recording settings vid to the lineup! Give me a bit to get it done!
@@OMGItsDerek tysm
Of course!
Props! liked and subbed. This fixed it for me after that encoder garbage. Just ran an "excellent" test in inspector.
Awesome! So glad it helped!
Oh my God that i wont actually believe. Thanks! I was totally lost why my new RTX 3080 had these issues and shitty stream. Fixed it. The Emperor protects!
Haha just glad I could help!
bro thanks for the help! I couldn't find anything that worked, definitely leaving a like and subscribing!
Thank you! Glad it helped!
great video, also you sound like trey parker doing a tutorial
Very interesting video. I finally bit the bullet and stood up a gaming PC and made my old PC the streaming PC. The streaming PC has a 2080S and a 3900x and I play in 1440p. However, once I added the Elgato 4k60 Pro MK.2 capture card I feel like I get worse streaming/recording performance and bounce off of the encoding overload warning more than when I only had a single PC setup. Do you have any thoughts about troublesome capture cards or if higher resolution or higher bitrate is better (I stream on UA-cam and generally have gravitated towards the higher bitrate).
Keep up the good work!
With the capture card are you doing any rescaling in OBS? If so, under the output turn off rescale outout there and do it under video tab instead. Use output scaled. Also, in regards to bitrate versus resolution they both matter. Doing a 1080p at a super high bitrate could look better up to a certain point than a 1440p or 4K stream at a low bit rate.obviously the higher you can get in regards to both the better overall your streams go into look.there is no simple answer to the question but one thing to keep in mind is that as you raise resolution you must drastically raise bit rate in order to keep up. A lot of times this can cause issues for people trying to watch your content, especially live streams. I don't really see a compelling argument for going over 1080p at this point.
Also, even if you're using a second PC make sure you're running OBS in admin mode as I mentioned in this video.
@@OMGItsDerek I agree with everything you said. The only compelling reason is I stream to UA-cam and if you stream in 1440p you get the VP09 codec which is much better for fast moving games. That's the only reason I bother with it.
Makes sense, I actually did not know that about UA-cam!
Well now we know not to set the pass to max quality because that is 2 pass encoding which really hits your gpu hard for barely any quality increase when streaming at least
Thanks u so much I needed that fixed
I can't start my recording or stream, it pops up a failed to open nvenc codec: function not implemented error message. I want to stream with the nvenc 264 new encoder not the regular x264 cause my stream gets frame drops and I heard that using this nvenc 264 new helps but I keep getting this pop up, any help?
What GPU do you have? Not every gpu has this function.
@@OMGItsDerek i7 7700
GPU not CPU. Graphics card good sir! :)
@@OMGItsDerek 630
Doesn't support nvenc! That's why!
Giving this a go. I've been having the silly Overload message recently and have tried a lot of different methods. I'll check back in.
Please let me know if it works for you, if it doesn't let me know what gpu you are using.
@@OMGItsDerek hey so I was still having issues. However that doesn't mean your method didn't work. It actually makes my stream run a lot better now so thank you for the help. My theme on my Twitch account, the Webcam frame to be exact, has animation to it. I simply just toggled it off and after that I had no more dropped frames, render overload messages ect.
So, I guess if people are still having issues with their OBS, try having them either tone down their themes or just simplify it. Less is more.... literally.
I'd like to thank you personally some day. You can find me at ThatWade on Twitch.
Have a great day!
Well the reason I asked what GPU you were using is because unless you have a 2000 or 3000 series Nvidia card they don't have a separate encoding chip built into them meaning that it actually does use your gpus resources to do this. So another option could be cap in your frame rate in game to stop encoding overload
@@OMGItsDerek I'm running a 2070 RTX
Yep, that has the secondary chip but anytime that chip gets overloaded it uses your main graphic card to help. Still putting a limit on frames in game should help if you have extra frames to spare
When I watch my own stream from a different device it looks blurry and horrible but when I ask my viewers they say it looks fine. Is there a thing where when I watch my own and the viewers make a big difference?
Thank you so much! Liked and subbed ,keep up the good work!Peace!
Thanks for the sub! And I'm so glad it was able to help you as i know it was a pain in my @$$ for several weeks haha!
Your video completely fixed my issues. Thank you so much!
So glad I was able to help! Hope you have a good day!
What about settings to change when Encoder Overload happens when your recording gameplay?
I’m having audio lag issues while performing live music on my stream , on the playback it’s a slight slight lag , how do I fix that .
I have this issue when I'm recording but this did sadly not solve the problem :/ I am using a RTX 2070 Super
Sorry it didn't help! :(
thank you so much it helped a lot :)
Glad it helped :)
I'm still getting the encoder error with these exact settings on a 3080 TI. Doesn't matter if I play Runescape, Diablo 2, or Warzone. Eventually I will get this error after a few hours.
Thank you so much, Iv'e been figthing with this and blackscreen for over an hour now
Unfortunaly I needed to set my encoder to x264
But again thank you for showing how to fix the recording provlem
My pleasure! ❤️
I’ve tried to follow your instructions. I still get the error. And it’ll actually appear when I’m not on the OBS window. If I go to the window, the error goes away. This is really putting a damper on my motivation to make my gaming videos..
Still works in 2023!
I got a 3080 ti and I get this code with a failed 8 NV_ENC_ERR_INVALID_PARAM error on it, as soon as I play any game when streaming, any ideas why?
Are you real? God you're saving my day/week! Thank you so much for this video!!!!
You're welcome! But I'm not real. I'm actually a robot. Sorry :(
@@OMGItsDerek oh no :(
It's okay! I like being a robot!
Can you please help with my obs showing this error im on a zotac gaming invidia rtx 3080 witha AMD ryzen 9 5900x 12 core
Hey dude! Any update/tips for the encoder overload with AC Valhalla for recording as of Nov 2020? I mean, i get atrocious results in footage and folks are saying 2080 RTX Super is weak to record that game on High Settings at 60 FPS cap with or without Vsync... I'm at a loss HOW a top 7 GPU is too weak to record ACV not even in ultra, but high... and i get up to 12% of encoder overload
Are you running OBS in admin mode? If so, it should keep it steady and cause you to just get lower frames in ACV. If you do, I'm not sure tbh other then turning some of the settings for encoding down a bit. This is just worked for me and haven't had an issue in any game since.
@@OMGItsDerek yes, i did run it in admin mode, however, problem lies with OBS bc that garbage needs a NASA rig and after their team said 2080 RTX super is too weak for ACV in 4K. I switched to Gefoce itself, and no stutter, no frame loss, smooth as silk without dropping in quality of the in-game settings, and am super happy with the outcome. Thnx for the response though, I appreciate it.
No problem and you do gotta remember, video encoding does take a lot of horsepower! It's only been a couple years that we've been able to have machines that can quite literally replace what took tons of money to be able to do in regards to video rendering!
i try so many times but nothing obs not support for 930mx and other specs pc only for encoder hevc will compatible
My games stutter with the 1060 GB and using NVENC
The 1060 has the first generation chip which was not the best and he had issues with all the time as well. Best course of option would be to drop quality settings a bit then from what I'm using in this vid
@@OMGItsDerek Will try it. If not i change to x264 again, my i7 6700k should be able to handle it.
Yes x264 may def be the better option if you have a 1060!
Left a like and a sub, you are awesome thank you so much!!
You're very welcome! Glad I could help!
I am going to do all this for the “encoding error “ I get. I hope it works! Oh, I get the Encoder error at the 2.5 hour mark of my streams. It’s weird and I can’t stand it! Oh my error isn’t on the bottom left of OBS, it’s it’s own error window that shows up.
Hope it works for you!
@@OMGItsDerek well my friend I had another bad stream. Here is my log obsproject.com/logs/f79P_Fx47YoX7geT
Big THX and yeah very on point and easy to understand, for sure i hit the subscribe button ;)
Thank you! ❤️
I don't think thats the issue in my case
I have 1GB upload and download internet.
I have the highest spec CPU and Nvidia RTX 4090 GPU
And I still get that message when I try to stream in 4K, Nvidia Nvenc / ffmpeg error
Yes some games just cause it to happen. If you're playing a specific game that's causing it try switching to your CPU for the streaming instead of your nvenc chip and see what that does
Thanks a lot when i use to test my streams on my CPU i got 2.3000 knp now i can use my GPU i get 6000 KBP so tyank you
You're very welcome! Glad I could help!
Thank you so much this helped a lot! :)
My pleasure!
Loved this dude! Helped me tremendously
Glad it helped!
:D " if you run it as administrator you dont have any issues" yes except that i cant manage to stream fluidly specially not with the new ncoder
What's your setup? Gpu and cpu?
@@OMGItsDerek am forgot to redo this . :D the real issue was with cyberpunk only on a different game it was totally okay. rtx3090 & i9 10900k
.. on max graph i just better only play that game instead of stream it at all...
Ahh yeah cyberpunk has def has some issues when it comes to performance...I had some as well when I played it on stream.
See it's interesting for me because i've had this exact same preset for the last 1-2 years for my output encoding and it's never given me trouble, all of a sudden it's been chopping my fps in half and overloading and i can't figure out why, i believe it might be somthing todo with obs studios updates that might have caused an issue, somthing backend maybe since it's impossible to be my settings cus they haven't changed in ages due to it being a saved profile and preset.
what if u're like me and have a separate PC dedicated to Livestreaming?
I am having same issue with encoder overload. i use 3900x 64gb ram. rtx 3080. Done what u said. I still have same issues.
Wish I could be of further help. That's what worked for me and I haven't had an issue since. Some people have recommended installing the studio drivers instead of the gaming drivers for your graphics card and that seems to fix it.
this is my setup.
Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor
EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 Super XC Ultra
32GB RAM DDR4 3600
13-18 Mbps upload speed
want to stream on Twitch at 720p60, should I copy the stream settings above? Also, should I use x264 over Nvenc?
thanks in advance
Yep, just change resolution to 720p instead of 1080p. Also, you should 100% use nvenc new!
So if I have a GTX 970 instead of a 10, 20, or 30 series should I still use the NVIDIA NVENC H.264? If not, what should I use instead?
Nah use h264 in my opinion. The 970 nvenc chips are not great compared to.using your cpu
I believe it has the newest encoding chip
No problem!
At 4:50 his dog moves his green screen lol
He does it all the time lmao. When I stream I bet it happens 4-6 times throught the stream and my chat always makes a big deal out of it lmfao
@@OMGItsDerek lol hope he's a good doggo ; )
The best!
@@OMGItsDerek best doggo lol. And btw what do you use to edit videos?
I use adobe premiere :)
Thank you very much for this vid, still works :-)
You're welcome!
Should i use my cpu (7800x3d) or my gpu rtx 3060 for obs game recording ? Thank you :))
Honestly just depends which one works best for you man. I would try them both and run a couple games and see which games get you the highest frame rates, maybe see which one gives you higher PC temperatures, etc and maybe just like for a couple streams switch back and forth between the two and see if you have issues pop up with one or the other. A lot of times it depends on the specific games that you play as some games are more CPU intensive whereas some are more GPU intensive. However, for the most part nvenc typically tends to be the best as it's literally designed to do just that... Streaming. Especially with the newer 4000 series graphics card that uses the A1 efficiency codec.
hmm, dang I dont have a new gpu but and getting this error on my nvenc encoder. I run it in admin mode and about an hour into my stream it overloads and stops recording. :(
What gpu are you using?
Hey I have similar setting as your but my problem is as soon as I add webcam Logitech c922 as source my cpu goes to 50% from 10% any help with it. How to reduce the cpu. I have a gaming laptop with 1050ti graphic card asus rog gl503
Webcams will process from cpu, so if it's not the best CPU it's gonna take a hit for sure. There is not much you can do about that. While your streams are ran by the end Bank chip of your graphics card there are still things that will take up utilization of your CPU
@@OMGItsDerek thanks bro. Got it.
Of course!
Thanks for the help!
What about for recording? thats where i keep overloading recording games like subnautica with my NZXT streaming PC
What settings are you using for recording? Specifically what quality settings are you using? Bitrate or cqp number?
@@OMGItsDerek im using CBR rate control with 40000 kbps bitrate on quality preset with 0 keyframe interval and 2 max b-frames. Trying to find the best settings since SubnauticaBZ uses a lot of gpu and i dont want choppy footage if my gameplay i finally got smooth
40000 is probably causing the overload. Anything above 20000 from my experience tends to be overkill. If you're saving the data to a traditional hard disk drive as well as playing the game off that drive and everything else, that could be your bottleneck.
So I basically copied all of your settings, and am runnin git in admin. I'm still having the same issue. My GPU encoder is at around 20% and it's saying that it's overloaded and progressively gets worse the longer that I stream.
Sounds like an overheating issue possibly. Do you software to monitor temps and take a look at them?
@@OMGItsDerek I actually just did a full factory reset and the issue hasn't cropped back up, but then again it didn't happen until a few weeks after I built it in the first place, so we'll see.
It's a nonsense, all the settings just not work for me, nvenc -> choppy at 120fps even (i tought RTX 3050 will be upgrade to RX 580 but it's a downgrade and a terrible GPU)
thank you man!! this was such a easy fix
Glad it helped! Annoyed me for a couple weeks lol
4:50 doggo
He's the best ❤️❤️❤️🐕🐶🐾
I have a 3090 and my stream is LAGGY idk why there is no way it should lag lol
thank you bro..... love from india !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're welcome!
I’m just running into this issue on the record side of things on my setup. O have 64gb memory. 3080ti and 5900x and I’m getting encoder overload when o was recording dark souls 3 gameplay. When all maxed my gpu only hits about 30% load and cpu is about 20% so i have no clue how to fix this issue
Are you using an SSD or tradition hhd?
@@OMGItsDerek recording onto an ssd. Just weird i have it sent to nvenc encoder for the gpu. And system doesn’t really take much of a hit with the games I play since their all older titles. Was curious y I was getting and encoder overload.
what happens when the nvidia encoder isn’t showing up what so ever. i know i have nvidia geforce and i tried everything there is on the internet and all what shoes up is x264
i tried to stream and all the games where laggy on the output because of it
Would this help If when I'm streaming/recording my game freezes and or I get blue screen on my pc?
Probably not
Is there any way I can record at 2k, I have a 2070 super buy my encoder overloads
I have a 3080Ti,...but nvidia nvenc isn't even an option to select in my obs. :-(
Uh oh...that's weird. Uninstall driver and reinstall it
3:24 that's actually right, using v-sync *will* lock your framerate to your monitor's refresh rate and also decreases CPU and GPU load
Yep will 100% work to decrease load. But as I said that's not what I wanted. I wanted to max out gpu load but with obs getting priority!
@@OMGItsDerek Oh, so it's like fixing an issue without limiting performances in gaming
Yes, but it does hurt performance in game a bit. Say encoder for streaming is needing 2% additional to get the max settings I want. It takes that 2% from the game side of it has priority. But say I vsync and drop my gpu from 100% usage to 70%. I'd lose more performance that way. The way I'm doing it. I may take a hit in my game a touch but I'm still running my gpu at 100% usage so making sure I'm at the very least taking the least amount hit possible. Make sense?
@@OMGItsDerek Yes, it really make sense, sure reaching 100% GPU Usage will totally decrease performance, the amount of hits still depend on the performance so I say it can be at the very least
How to recover a record that was interrupted by the power off of my lap top accidentally?
Good luck unless you were recording in flv. Which you shouldn't be cause it sucks.
Does this work for recording as well as streaming
Did for me! It's a mixed back. Seems there are several issues that can cause this problem in OBS but for me this is what fixed it!
@@OMGItsDerek it worked for me! its still slightly laggy sometimes, but its WAYYYYY better than it being a litteral slide show when i try to record gameplay
Glad it at least helped 🤙
I use display capture to record cs go game play and when the recording is complete it show some kind of flash nd flickering . My xbox game bar and game mode is off !
That's frustrating for sure! Unfortunately, I'm not running to this issue so we're going to have to hope someone else in the comments is able to help you out. My apologies!
@@OMGItsDerek i don know how but beta version of 27.0 worked for me ! Anyways thnks a lot for reply ❤️
Awesome! Glad it worked!
Hey I got a question. So in my OBS my camera looks fine but when pushing it through to twitch it looks a little fuzzy/not HD but my capture card does look 1080p (as I set it) I’m not sure why my webcam looks so good in OBS(HD) and then on stream it looks poor
Obs is not showing your stream. It's showing the full resolution. So if you're looking at obs it could be in 1080p but if you're streaming in 720p obv it will look diff in terms of quality. Basically ibs shows full quality where as stream is based off.your resolution and bitrate.
Hello Good sir, i need a little help, I am running Geforce GTX 1069 6 GB 192BI GDDR5, when i change my encoder from CPU only to GPU encoding in output CPU usage remains 50% it doesnt go down. Did you encounter this problem, and if you did do you know how to fix it...
I've not encountered this issue, sorry!
Amazing. Absolutely amazing. This works
Glad it helped :)
My settings where already like that, but I still got the "encoder overload," along with an extremely laggy stream and game. It was working perfectly fine a couple days ago. I don't know what happened. Any tips?
Is it a new game?
@@OMGItsDerek It wasn't a new game, but I got it working. Computer just needed a restart, thank you!
