Twitch skipping frames. : r/Twitch - Reddit
#1 Hello guys. I recently bought a whole new system, and I have a question: is it normal that a Ryzen 3700X not being able to handle 900p@60 x264 slow preset?When I try to stream in 720p@60 x264 slow preset, it goes fine, no frame skippings. But when I try 1600x900 or 1920x1080, I get many skipped frames message in the Stats window, the "Skipped frames due to encoding lag", but CPU usage is not reaching not even 30% usage, according to the OBS Stats window. Very strange.I have a very capable M.2 SSD (signature for full PC specs), so I don't think it's the issue. I tried to record locally, same thing happens.In summary:720p@60 x264 slow preset = fine900p@60 x264 slow preset = skipped frames due to encoding lag1080p@60 x264 slow preset = skipped frames due to encoding lag1080p@60 x264 medium preset = fineNone of the above configuration reach 30% CPU usage.Is it a CPU limitation?

Your CPU has plenty of threads left over, but there's only so many that can be practically used for encoding. So the CPU utilization graph is not a complete metric for figuring out how slow a preset a CPU can use. #3 What you're seeing is correct for your CPU. I would not trust the OBS cpu usage report -- you'll find a much more telling view using Task Manager's performance tab.The 3700x cannot realistically do slow on anything above 720p60. You would need to jump up to the 3900x if you want that, and even then you'll encounter the occasional bit of encoding lag, even though it doesn't ever go above 70%.EposVox has a really good set of comparison videos specifically talking about the Ryzen 3000 series encoding capabilities for OBS, if you want to look those up. #4 Thanks for the responses, guys.I kinda managed it to stream at 1080p@60 slow preset by adding the x264 option "threads=16".
