Encoding Lag on 3060 ti

[fading garden]

ive tried everything in the encoding lag channel

im lost

Send screenshots of the outout and advanced obs tabs

And of your audio and video tabs

And a in-game screenshot or example clip or something like that

In short

• more complicated stuff is harder to encode, so use lower resolution packs and less noisy skies (lots of stars = bad)
• not all chips are the same quality, sometimes your hardware just isn’t as good as someone else’s

i get that but a 1660 having a better chip then a 3060ti?

LOL

Use profile baseline and preset P1

[fading garden]

okay

This may sound weird but the chip is almost the same because it’s not the big graphics rendery chip

It’s the NVENC chip

[fading garden]

oh

[regal spoke]

It doesn’t get huge upgrades or anything so speed is pretty consistent across generations

[regal spoke]

This is important too

Disable fog, use fullbright, try display or game capture (whichever gives you less encoding lag), use a simple sky overlay

Open task manager and go to performance and click your GPU

[fading garden]

looks like this fixed it

ok

[regal spoke]

Nice

There’s a box called video encode or video decode, it’ll show how much of the encoder you’re using and when you reach 100% you’ll get encoding lag

You can use that to help figure out what stuff might be causing the lag (like a lot of particles on screen)

[fading garden]

never knew that

thanks
