well im saving up money right now so i could buy a normal pc with alot of storage

5:40 PM

i found a pirated version of rust that my little brother downloaded january this year. it takes up 16 gigs and i deletedit

5:41 PM

now i have 22 gigs

5:43 PM

i started downloading 3dMark

5:44 PM

i also use battery saver mode, does it affect performance?

5:50 PM

i installed it

5:52 PM

do i just press 'run' now @TenderSausage (edited)

Daniel_plays32

i also use battery saver mode, does it affect performance?

When you’re on AC power, this should be disabled

5:57 PM

Do you plan to run on battery often?

yes realy often because my pc loses battery quickly

5:59 PM

sometimes i forget to turn on battery saver mode (edited)

6:01 PM

acer laptops are known to have not a great battery life

But why aren't you running it plugged in?

6:17 PM

Is that not an option?

i do run it plugged in

6:23 PM

i am his brother*

6:23 PM

but he always plugs it out because ,Its breaking the computer

Yikes

Sorry that's my little brother. Yes i don't keep the cable in because my mom says that if you overcharge the battery, the battery will die faster

That's not correct anymore

Really?

It used to be, but with modern batteries, it shouldn't be a problem

My mom has an older computer

There's a logic board that monitors the battery's charge and turns off the charging circuit.

Oh ok thank you

do i now just press run on 3DMark

Yep

it finished

What were the results?

6:56 PM

6:57 PM

It's not great...

7:17 PM

Click on the orange "Compare results online" button

7:17 PM

it'll show you how it stacks

I can't right now because I'm gonna have to go to sleep soon and i turned of my PC. I'll do it tomorrow

Hey friends - I am running into this blocky, blurry, type of issue while I stream on YouTube. Here are my streaming settings below and I will also attach a screenshot of what the screen looks like if I am moving a bit to fast.

11:47 PM

11:48 PM

As you can see my face blurred out and becomes blocky/pixelated

11:49 PM

For Reference here are also my Specs:

i7-10700k
RTX 3080
32 GB RAM

11:49 PM

Don't think you need anything else, but please ask if that is the case

@Rockit14 What is the camera device? (edited)

It is a C920 - however if I record and do fast movements there is no blur/pixelated etc

11:06 AM

So from that I believe the camera itself isn’t the problem (also the game will pixelate and blur as well at times if I am moving to fast)

@TenderSausage

11:27 AM

Also for reference I get between 15-20Mbps Upload - so I believe I am pretty solid on that standpoint

I don't see anything weird...

hmm

You're trying to push 1080p60 at 10MBPS, yeah?

4:44 PM

@Rockit14 I don't know if YouTube Live ingest servers can handle that (edited)

4:44 PM

Maybe dip down to 8000kbps and see what that looks like?

4:45 PM

Aside from that, maybe change the Max B-frames to 4

gotcha

10:22 PM

gonna give that a shot tomorrow

You're trying to push 1080p60 at 10MBPS, yeah?

Thanks

Hi all, I'm fairly new to streaming and am mostly looking to start doing this semi-casually. I'm starting with Twitch and having major frame rate issues and am somewhat perplexed by where my bottleneck may be, because it would seem that I should be meeting hardware requirements from what I've read, but I'm uncertain. For processor I have an i7-9700k, 3.60GHZ. GPU is Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080 GAMING OC 8G. My upload speed from Comcast is usually over 15 mbps. But as of right now I struggle to even hold 30fps @ 720 very well while streaming on twitch (edited)

8:15 PM

Here's an example of one of my streams--it definitely seems choppier than I would expect for 720p@30fps. but unsure where the bottleneck is in my hardware

8:15 PM

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1123350833

DRG test - divisionwasp on Twitch

divisionwasp went live on Twitch. Catch up on their Deep Rock Galactic VOD now.

@Avi Can you post your stream chart from that session? You can find it at https://inspector.twitch.tv

sure, as an image?

8:24 PM

Try locking your game at 60FPS and see what that looks like

ok, I'll give that a go and see

What I saw was a lot of frame variability

That did it! Thanks!

Hi I'm thinking of beginning to stream but I'm not sure about one thing, how do I use an external camera's input to my laptop, while still displaying output to my external monitor?

@wernler You will need a capture card in order to allow a video input from your camera.

I'm actually getting an A5100 which has the Imaging Edge Webcam app, so it doesn't really need a capture card, but I think it would make more sense to get the capture card, so thank you!

@wernler I would advise against using that app unless you absolutely have to. It's janky at best. Simply plugging in a thumb drive can make it freak out. A capture card with the a5100 would be best.

5:30 PM

Also, it'll be limited to (probably) USB 2.0 speeds. the HDMI out will give you much higher quality than what you can achieve on USB.

I see, alright thanks!

Is there a way I can get rid of the broadcast bar on Xbox?

hi, im having problems with my capture card and wanted to know if any one here can help

Sure @Fogbound, what's up? (edited)

So while setting up my capture card today i realised no audio was playing. I did what i would normally do to fix it (changing the kHz to 44.1) but it didnt work. After experimenting and figuring out the problem i believe my capture card itself is not sending any audio. Is that the possible reason and is there anyway to fix it?

Yeah, I suppose that's possible from a couple of different settings.

4:24 PM

Which capture card are you using?

a TKHIN one, i got it off amazon

top one

4:28 PM

its processing video but not audio

4:28 PM

nothing i do fixes it

What is the input device you have plugged in to the capture card?

hdmi input

4:29 PM

ive used it before

Right, but from what?

oh, my switch

4:29 PM

the video is playing but not audio

From the dock, or using an adapter on the console itself?

the dock

Can you take a screenshot of the source properties screen for the capture card from OBS?

it was working perfectly fine yesterday which confuses me

4:32 PM

Change the output mode to "Capture Audio Only" and see if that helps.

already tried that

4:34 PM

and just did it again and it still doesnt work

Okay, but you've been playing with a lot of settings, yeah?

4:34 PM

We'll check a few and make corrections as we go

not fully, ive done everything videos told me to do

there may me more than one issue

4:35 PM

I wouldn't expect a one-shot solution

so what next then

How are you intending to listen to the console?

the audio goes through my pc and plays through the speakers (edited)

4:36 PM

again, it was working fine yesterday

4:36 PM

but today it wont work

Issues don't care about the time of day. That's kind of irrelevant to me.

ok then

So, when you have the source in OBS, do you see activity on the VU for that source?

vu?

Example, do you see this bar moving?

4:38 PM

The one that corresponds to your source

yes, but it never works

That means the audio signal is getting to OBS

But when you have a game playing, does it light up?

nope

Let's back up then

4:40 PM

Let's just see if we can monitor the device from Windows

4:40 PM

Close OBS for a minute

4:41 PM

We'll open it back up later

ok

4:41 PM

what now?

its opened

Top right, click Sound Control Panel (edited)

i see it

Find your USB device in the list and then press the Properties button

oh yah, ive been meesing with too

4:44 PM

mainly one thing

Once you're in there, go to the Listen tab, check the "Listen to this device" option, and make sure you select the device that is attached to your speakers.

4:44 PM

it is

4:44 PM

ive already done this

4:45 PM

this is what also fixed the problem yesterday

4:45 PM

but its not working today

4:45 PM

and all the options dont work

Yeah, we've established that

4:45 PM

Please, be patient. This is free help, after all.

sorry, im just stressed...

I hear you.

its already been like this but here incase u want proof

Hopefully it's not too long before we figure out the culprit.

4:46 PM

AH

4:46 PM

That's the capture device

4:46 PM

Are the speakers plugged into the capture card?

4:46 PM

Or into your computer?>

yes they are plugged into my pc

Then change it to that output

??

4:47 PM

i thought it was?

Choose the playback device that your speakers are attached to.

4:47 PM

4:48 PM

You should have a list of devices available. What does yours look like?

4:48 PM

speaker yeti nano is justa mic

4:48 PM

voice mod is the voice changer thing i use for karaoke

4:49 PM

and speak 4-usb is my speakers for my pc

Can you show me the devices you have in the recording tab one layer back?

4:50 PM

4:51 PM

4 usb also has mic input option but i dont use it

4:51 PM

voice mod, again for karaoke

4:51 PM

and yeti nano which is my mic

4:51 PM

then we have the digital audio interface which is my capture card

Both of the "4-" devices are the same physical device (edited)

4:52 PM

One is the mic input, the other is the HDMI stream

ill show u why

I can see it from the Amazon listing

4:54 PM

ran out of ports on my laaptop so bought this

Can you also show me your playback tab?

4:54 PM

i have no idea what syncmaster is

4:54 PM

oh wait i do

4:54 PM

so my internal speaker is broken (edited)

ah

thats why i had to buy other speakers

I don't see that other device in the list

thats all there is

I see the headphone output for your capture device

4:55 PM

You could simply move the 3.5mm plug to there and it might fix it

4:55 PM

to the headphone jack on the capture card

but my internal speaker is broken

So?

what do i use for audio if i remove the speakers from my pc

Your PC is porting its audio out of the capture card

4:56 PM

through that headphone jack

??

Because, for some reason, your other audio device is not being recognized

4:57 PM

Do you see it in the playback device list?

4:57 PM

I don't

is it supposed to be there?

It's possible you're drawing too much power through that USB port

4:57 PM

And some of the devices are not powering correctly

i see...

A powered USB hub would be a step forward.

but i kinda need the extension...

But, as of this moment, the small dongle that I see here is not being recognized by your PC.

yah you see those middle two?

4:59 PM

thats for the speaker

4:59 PM

and only the speaker

4:59 PM

i need both in order for the speaker to work

Okay. Try this please.

4:59 PM

First: Do you have one of those wall USB adapters somewhere?

not nearby my pc no

5:00 PM

for some reason the one on the wall was removed so i hav extension cords to be able to hook up just my charging cable

Here's what I'm thinking: 1. You have an overloaded USB port on your laptop caused by an unpowered USB hub. 2. If we reduce the load on the hub, you can possibly continue to use it for most devices. 3. The issue is power consumption, IMO. The goal would be to remove any devices that are there JUST FOR POWER and offload those connections to wall adapters.

well considering the headphone jack on my laptop is also broken there is only one object here on the laptop we can do it with

5:06 PM

also i have just tried removing my mic usb port (on the left side) and replacing it with the capture card and there was still no audio

5:06 PM

even though it was a port with nothing else on it

No, there are two objects

5:08 PM

That little dongle where your speakers are currently plugged in, and the headphone jack on your capture card

ive also tested the headphone jack on the capture card and it doesnt work either

Right now, that dongle isn't being recognized because of the aforementioned overloaded hub

5:09 PM

Unplug the dongle for now. We can get back to it later

but it worked like that yesterday

5:09 PM

the dongle?

Unplug your speakers from the dongle and plug the speakers into the headphone jack of your capture device

still doesnt recognise it

5:11 PM

this is what happened when i did

Take another screenshot of your Playback and Recording tabs, please (edited)

5:12 PM

I want to test something while we're at this point

5:13 PM

The headphone jack from the capture card has your speakers connected to it. Can you please load up a game and confirm that audio is passing through the capture device?

but there is no audio when its plugged in

5:14 PM

i told u that

Okay

5:14 PM

I guess it's broke

fuck

If you're done testing, I mean

5:15 PM

I'm ACTIVELY asking you to test things

5:15 PM

I don't care about past results

5:15 PM

Please understand

i am

5:15 PM

ijust did

5:15 PM

there is no audio

Do you have something plugged into the HDMI out on the capture card?

no

5:16 PM

because i dont need that

Can you confirm that the cable from your Switch is transferring audio right now? Could you plug it into a TV to confirm this?

the sure

5:17 PM

hold on a sec

I want to be clear, I'm asking you to unplug the cable from the capture card-side and plug that end into a TV

5:19 PM

So Switch dock directly to a TV, omitting the capture card entirely to isolate the cable as the/an issue (edited)

yup, its tansfering audio into the tv

Okay. Go ahead and plug that back into the capture card.

kk

To recap, the hub you're using has the capture card, a USB audio card, the powered USB connection for your speakers, and one additional unknown device. What is that?

a keyboard considering the one on my lap top is small and annoying to use

Okay, perfect.

5:22 PM

Aside from that, are there any other devices plugged directly into the laptop?

2

5:23 PM

the mic and the mouse

5:23 PM

this mic for some reason is usb and not a microphone cable

Okay

5:25 PM

Is it possible to swap the mouse and capture card?

kk

5:27 PM

wait a momment

5:27 PM

i just remembered why the mouse is there

5:27 PM

that usb port is a bit finiky. At times it wil stop reading what ever is there

5:27 PM

this proves my point

5:27 PM

5:28 PM

its plugged in but wont show up

We're not there yet

again, it plugged in but not even showing up

5:29 PM

5:30 PM

Yikes...

5:31 PM

I mean... This is issue on issue on issue, my friend

...

A janky USB port, too?

5:31 PM

The odds are not in your favor for this to work out

yah... i traveled with it alot

5:32 PM

and im a kluts so... its had a few repairs

Does the laptop have a USB-C?

nope

My opinion is this: You need to have the capture card in a reliable USB connection, directly into the laptop and not through any hub, powered or not.

i see...

Your other devices should be fine in that USB hub, but I'd recommend powering the speakers from a wall adapter to remove the power burden from your USB bus on the laptop.

5:34 PM

It's not much, but it helps

5:35 PM

I can't confirm is there's an issued with your devices because the USB ports themselves are unreliable, and that makes testing devices connected to them problematic.

5:36 PM

We have to start at a known good

i see... but then why does it let video through flawlessly but not give me volume at all? (edited)

We're zapping rocks with electricity. How does any of it work?

5:36 PM

I couldn't tell you, my friend

5:36 PM

But I can say what I can see, which I listed above

5:37 PM

It could be a lot of things.

alright, ill go toa professional then with what we have so far

5:37 PM

thank you though

No worries, sorry we couldn't get there

i appreciate you sticking by even when i was getting angry (edited)

What can I say, I'm persistent

5:38 PM

I'll still keep thinking about this issue.

5:38 PM

Maybe I'll think of something later.

if you do give me a ping or dm later

k

5:42 PM

@Fogbound Did you see this on the Amazon listing? 【Quality service and Notice】: You will get 1xHDMI capture card, 1xUSB 3.0 cable, and 1xuser manual. Please note that the OBS Studio software needs to be restarted after audio settings are completed, otherwise it will cause no sound output. And you will get actual 1080p records by connecting USB port monitor after insert MIC/Audio Output devices.

i do restart it after each audio setting change

@TenderSausage do you think it could have not been working cuz it was getting to hot?

Probably not?

6:33 PM

It'd think it would just shut down, but maybe.

i see

Eh y’all

11:01 PM

If I use stream labs Obs and I have downloaded an overlay I got through prime

11:02 PM

Is that saved on my computer somewhere that I can use on other accounts?

Maybe, but I bet that's against TOS.

@TenderSausageu were right, it is the usb port

2:35 PM

tested it on another cmputer just now and audio ran flawlessly

ouch

2:41 PM

I'm glad you found the root cause of the issue, though

2:41 PM

Getting there was a bit of a process

so i have to options send laptop in to be repaired or just leave it how it is if its to expensive to fix (edited)

That sounds right

2:42 PM

Or, if you're a handy person, try to replace the laptop mainboard yourself

2:42 PM

But laptop cases are notoriously difficult to work with, so if you're at all opposed, have a professional do it.

2:43 PM

My guess is that the USB ports are on the mainboard, so it will need to be repaired or replaced.

perhaps.. i know a guy who works with pcs, if i have to do it myself ill go to him

1

TenderSausage

My guess is that the USB ports are on the mainboard, so it will need to be repaired or replaced.

i see, but im not just sending it in to fix that

2:43 PM

im fixing all problems

That's a good point

the usb, the broken audio jack, and the internal speaker

If it's not expensive, it's probably worth to have them "refurb" it

refurb?

Refurbish

2:44 PM

It just means to bring it back to factory condition

ah ok

2:44 PM

but again that would be expensive

You can buy refurbished products online

oh

They're usually warranty returns that get reworked and sold as refurbished, not new

i see...

But, essentially, if you sent yours in for repair, the hope is that it would efectively be refurbished, too.

gotcha

meaning brought back up to factory condition

2:46 PM

Have you gotten a repair estimate from the mfg yet?

nope, were going around 12 to figure that out

2:46 PM

thats like in an hour (edited)

nice

2:46 PM

Well, good luck!

will do!

@TenderSausage lmao the people figured out the problem/solution

6:28 PM

i just had to uninstall and reinstall the usb ports in device manager

Much better than a physical port issue

Hi there I would appreciate some help:

What's up?

I am a jazz musician trying to conduct interviews (via zoom) and record them with OBS (MAC OS). I arrange questions regarding some music excerpts and I could properly configure OBS to capture and record my desktop audio (logic pro, sibelius, zoom audio) through Ishowcapture and multiple output device method. The problem is that the person on the other end receives poor audio quality from my desktop sound. Since audio quality is a must due to the interview's nature, what is the correct method to get them the best audio from my daws, browser..? etc.

Hmmm... That's a good question.

9:19 PM

Ideally, I'd say move your meetings to Discord

9:19 PM

Then there are many options

9:19 PM

But with Skype, I think they cap the call quality

9:21 PM

When you're running the audio into Skype, it's all summing to one input, correct?

I make the calls via Zoom, not Skype.

9:22 PM

you mean one output?

Sorry, my brain's off today

9:23 PM

I'm just trying to recall the UI of zoom in my head

9:23 PM

It allows for a microphone and a video device as inputs, with an output

9:24 PM

So are you running everything through your DAW and sending it to zoom?

yes, it its captured with iShowcapture

9:25 PM

I integrate it with my audio interface in a multiple outout device

9:25 PM

and choose it in zoom as an output

Are all of the inputs that go into that output at the same sample rate?

9:27 PM

I thought about that, but OBS audio settings show the rate blocked to 48000Hz

Check Settings: Audio for this setting

ok I would try that, thank you for your reply

If you have any devices running 44.1kHz, you might want to dumb it all down.

9:30 PM

Even in the DAW

also, if I have an audio interface with virtual outputs

Which one?

can that help in any way

9:30 PM

Apollo Twin

Is it set up as ASIO in the DAW? (edited)

no

Nvm, that's PC

9:32 PM

I'm trying to remember what the mac equivalent is

9:33 PM

The point is, it's set up as an input in the DAW, right?

9:34 PM

an I/O device

sure

9:38 PM

I mean, is it a common issue? or people get this working

9:39 PM

or am I just too dumb for this? haha

@TenderSausage aaaaaaaaaaaand the problem happened again today. This time unistalling and resinstalling didnt work

My today's stream was skipping frames. what could be the reason

@TenderSausage (A person in chat suggested i talk with you) I am giving a talk at a camp without internet. I want to let the users connect via wifi to a router (I have three) and then "stream" my computer monitor in realtime to all of them. All locally. How?

11:51 PM

I understand this might not be the right place to even ask

If all connections are local, you just need to provide a portal for the users to access the stream.

TenderSausage

If all connections are local, you just need to provide a portal for the users to access the stream.

What portal might I use?

Hmmm...

11:53 PM

NDI would work

TenderSausage

NDI would work

You're the best. Going to look at that now. TY

You could also use UDP, I think.

11:55 PM

The issue is the player

11:56 PM

Are these all going to be PCs, phones, tablets? What are the client devices?

11:58 PM

With NDI, each client would need to have NDI installed, so that might not be possible if you're using personal devices like a mix of cell phones without access to the internet to get the appropriate viewer. (edited)

11:59 PM

Same goes for UDP, you'll need a viewer like VLC

11:59 PM

@Brian Ginn If you need something that runs in the browser, I'll have to search a bit.

12:03 AM

Maybe this: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/how-to-set-up-your-own-private-rtmfp-server-using-monaserver.153/

How to set up your own private RTMFP server using MonaServer

This article is inspired of the great guide of How to set up your own private RTMP server using nginx. MonaServer is a tiny and scalable open source server which provide protocols RTMFP, RTMP, RTMPE, WebSocket and HTTP. Server applications are...

12:05 AM

Looking over the guide, it looks comprehensive (read: technical), but I think you could just use the browser with it. I'll keep reading.

TenderSausage

Maybe this: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/how-to-set-up-your-own-private-rtmfp-server-using-monaserver.153/

Ah, interesting and very much what I'm looking for

It still looks like you need a player...

12:06 AM

Hmmm...

TenderSausage

It still looks like you need a player...

You're referring to the MOnaServer are you?

Well, your users will need to be able to play the stream that is being broadcast by the MonaServer

12:07 AM

I was hoping it was a browser-native functionality, but it's not

Yes yes, I thought it would be via web browser but no?

12:08 AM

If that's the case, I should go the VLC route

12:08 AM

What I really want is a YT server ha ha locally of course.

12:09 AM

Maybe the code for YT is on GitHub? j/k

Hmmm...

I was thinking a small linux server between my comptuer and the router.

12:10 AM

and it have a web server with somehow embedding the stream.

Let me think a minute.

@Phyreksia What is your Cam Link 4K plugged into?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! So I have a pc, and a ps5. It is my understanding that if I wanna stream the ps5 thru SLOBS on my pc I need a capture card. There’s a lot of elgato models but I don’t know which one I would need. The other issue is how would the people in either the ps5 party or ps5 game chat hear me? My mic (yeti nano) would be plugged into my pc, so I wouldn’t be able to use it as an input on the ps5. I’m guessing since the elgato captures sound (does it??) I’d be able to hear the games and party chat/game chat audio being played onto my pc but how would I set it up so the ps5 party could also hear me? Do I need a separate mic? Or am I just thinking about this all wrong, I have no idea. I just want to stream on my pc, while playing nba 2k, but still would like to be able to communicate with people in my party or in game chat on 2k.

So I like to play cold war and stream. So I try to put two and two together and played with the settings and things, but it doesn't work, idk if this is the right spot for it but if u have any idea how to help and lead me in the direction in which i can get help that would be great. I don't rlly care what i stream in 720, or 1080.

Hey folks, currently streaming using a Ryzen 5 3600, 5700xt setup and wondered if the AMD encoder had improved at all over the last year? Having to use X264 and noticing some pretty bad pixelation when streaming at 1440p on youtube. Would be great to have that improved at all if the GPU encoder was up to it these days.

How do I optimize my streams with a GPU GTX 660 2GB?

hey guys just joined the discord and was wondering if anyone in here has any insight on something im having a issue with streaming from my xbox series x

anyone here stream from an xbox and run stream through a pc?

So the elgato capture card will capture game audio (including game chat I’m guessing) on its own, I just won’t be able to communicate with them. Which I guess kinda sucks but better than nothing.

Sorta. With a capture device, you're capturing any A/V going through the source cable (likely HDMI). If you're able to use voice chat in PS5, you can continue to use that.

Sounds like the easiest way is just to say forget talking to people on the console

There isn't anything preventing you from using a voice comm application on the PS5. I just don't know what that would be, since I don't have a PS5

8:10 PM

BUT

8:10 PM

We can figure out something.

8:11 PM

There's always a way. We'll try to find the least janky option

My other idea was that I’d have to get a separate mic and have it plugged into the ps5

8:11 PM

Lol thank you

To be clear, your friends are trying to use VC on PS5, or are they using a PC-based application like Discord?

Yeah some of my friends would need to use ps5 VC

8:13 PM

+ getting reactions of game chat is always good. I guess the elgato would still capture that audio. I just wouldn’t be able to communicate with em

8:14 PM

People in game chat that is

I don't see why

8:14 PM

If you have a microphone plugged in to the PS5, it should work

8:14 PM

How do you have the microphone set up now, without worring about streaming?

When streaming or using my pc, I have a usb mic.

8:15 PM

If just playing ps5, I have a headset with built in mic

scott

Start here

TenderSausage

I don't see why

Also if you are in the software game chat like PS5 or Xbox it is a private chat so you would have to be in lobby chat

But I use that headset on pc too, so if streaming it will be connected to my pc.

AH

8:15 PM

I see the issue

Yeah

The PS5 isn't going to pass your audio through

8:15 PM

shit.

8:15 PM

Okay...

8:16 PM

Let me think for a minute (edited)

The ps5 won’t pass audio thru the elgato?

Yeah, you're gonna need two mics

8:16 PM

It won't pass YOUR MIC through, unfortunately

Say I don’t want to communicate with anyone in the game, I just need elgato right?

it'll pass it to the members in your VC, but not through the HDMI

scott

Say I don’t want to communicate with anyone in the game, I just need elgato right?

Yes

8:17 PM

regarding the model, what are your expectations for the stream quality, and what kind of computer are you using?

But if I do, I need another mic. Plugged straight to the ps5, and then I hear ps5 party chat on pc since the elgato is capturing audio and outputting it to the pc right

8:18 PM

3070, 5600x 32gb 3600mhz

8:18 PM

I mean I’m not even partner so I can’t stream over 720p

8:18 PM

So was thinking the hd60s would be fine, or the hd60s +

8:19 PM

I need to research some things.

Gimme one sec

8:27 PM

phone died, needed to get to PC

8:30 PM

Can I just make you a quick video? My brain's kinda fried on typing.

If you would like that would be great

The video is uploading to YouTube now

I put it in the wrong spot

Awesome thank you, I look forward to watching it as soon as I get home

@Hyper Gaming Can you explain what you mean by "it doesn't work"?

@Beezer Not that I'm aware of. Are you trying to push 1440p60, or 1440p30?

10:04 PM

@Maryo23 What kind of content are you trying to create?

Does it make a difference?

What is the issue you're running into?

10:06 PM

@Maryo23 Well, yeah. If you're trying to play a recent AAA title on a GTX 660, you may have a hard time simply running the game, let alone streaming it (edited)

No nothing that intensive mostly mid level games skater xl session MFS X older connect a game console like N64 ps3 xbox 360

Is that MSF X Steam edition?

10:11 PM

The code is different between the legacy version and Steam version

10:12 PM

@Maryo23 Can you share what the CPU and RAM situation is in that PC? (edited)

Ryzen 3 2200g 8gb of ram

TenderSausage

Is that MSF X Steam edition?

Steam

@Maryo23 My opinion would be to start with 480p30 @ 2500kbps to start

How do I chang resolution to that?

Before that, what is your desktop resolution?

Idk

10:32 PM

Let me look

10:33 PM

TenderSausage

Before that, what is your desktop resolution?

@TenderSausage 1280 x 720 (edited)

TenderSausage

@Beezer Not that I'm aware of. Are you trying to push 1440p60, or 1440p30?

Going for 1440p 60

@TenderSausage thank you so much for the video. Really, really appreciate it.
