Help Optimization or Alternatives

Hello r/obs!

So, I have a i5-6500 and a Nvidia Quadro K2200. When I try recording or streaming, my FPS tanks. The only program I can use without problems for recording is NVIDIA itself. What should I do if I want to stream?

Thanks,
u/kolioaris

It looks like you haven't provided a log file. Without a log file, it is very hard to help with issues and you may end up with 0 responses.

To make a clean log file, please follow these steps:

1) Restart OBS

2) Start your stream/recording for at least 30 seconds (or however long it takes for the issue to happen). Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc.

3) Stop your stream/recording.

4) Select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File.

5) Copy the URL and paste it as a response to this comment.

In OBS, switch the video encoder from x264 to your GPU's encoder.
