So we started streaming a few weeks ago and everything was generally going fine. I was streaming & recording Phasmophobia on my PC at 1080p 60fps using a 2070 just fine (for a while) with a couple of Source Record filters running on the game and webcam.
After about 1.5-2hrs I'd start getting the Encoding overloaded! error in OBS, so I stopped the main recording and the error went away.
I noticed that our streams have became laggy running at 15-20 FPS on Twitch and OBS has the Encoding Overloaded! error all the time when streaming. I've been trying the Twitch test mode without even running a game and I get the same issue.
I tried Twitch test mode without even running a game this morning and the logs aren't at all helpful (https://obsproject.com/tools/analyzer?log_url=https://obsproject.com/logs/sxUzOpH9P3MCTdVG) and just tells me my GPU is overloaded, but it's not, and I used to stream & record at the same time.
Edit to add that I tried running OBS as admin as the logs suggest, which hasn't alleviated my issues.
While streaming Phasmophobia, my GPU 3D is sat around 80-90% and the Encode is sat around 60%, so barely overloaded...
For the stream output I'm using:
Video Bitrate: 6000kbps
Audio Bitrate: 160
Encoder: NVENC H.264
Encoder Preset: Medium
Task Manager with Phasmophobia running:
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as a 15 fps stream is abysmal
