OBS Game Streaming Performance Boost with Intel Quicksync

2014-06-18
with its factory tuning and data center DNA and Intel 730 series SSD is an amazing choice for gamers and performance enthusiasts alright guys so as you know streaming can be hard to do stuff like system overhead and you're not only playing a demanding game but you're encoding it and streaming it and that's probably not all you're probably playing music programs voice chat programs and if you're like me you have a browser with at least a bucket worth of tabs open this would be hard on your processor enter OBS with quick sync using quick sync instead of x264 will allow you to move your encoding processing off of your processor and on to your I GPU which is actually still part of your processor but when you're normally streaming if you have a graphics card it'll use your processor in your graphics card and your eye GPU just sits there doing a whole lot of nothing being able to utilize this part of your processor is going to take some stress off the rest of your processor and allowed to do other things performance wise it's actually pretty good but you're gonna have to remember that this is called quick sink not like looks amazingly beautiful sink it's not going to look quite as good on the other end of the stream but it will be easier for you to run so maybe if you're pushing some really hard to run game and doing a bunch of other things at the time and it's going to chug on the other end if you run quick sync if it looks better because it's not lagging that's going to be a big benefit but the actual picture quality probably won't be as good as something like x264 the requirements aren't too bad you can need an intel cpu which should have probably been pretty self-explanatory you should probably update your drivers and your bios as well and you're going to need OBS is that's a software that you have to run to check to make sure that your processor is compatible with quick sync you just google the name of your processor so say 2600 k go to the ARC intel comm link and then do a ctrl F for quick it'll jump right to it and I'll say yes or no in a blue highlighted box right beside it pretty straightforward at least on a seuss motherboards how you'll set it up in the BIOS level is to press f7 go into advanced BIOS then go over to advanced jump into graphics configuration go down to CPU graphics multi monitor and change that to enable that's all you'll need so after doing that just press f10 enter and you're good to go once you're done setting up your BIOS you're going to jump into your computer right click on your desktop and click on screen resolution then all you have to do is click detect and find the display that is powered by your eye GPU it'll say Intel graphics whatever number tell it to try to connect on VGA anyways apply that setting before you can actually do anything else jump back to your main monitor until it to extend these displays instead of just showing on desktop one after that click keep changes and you'll be good to go doing that last step is very important if you haven't done that last step properly OBS will allow you to select Quick Sync but it won't actually work and will just spit out an error so to select QuickSync properly just go into OBS and then go into settings go to encoding and then change the radio button from x264 over to quick sync as long as you're not streaming at the time of changing this it'll work perfectly fine the next time you start streaming it'll be streaming through quick sync all right guys I think this whole setup is pretty cool I like quick sync my biggest problem with quick sync is that it's not in enough stuff hate me as much as you will but I'm an expert guy not necessarily an OBS guy so I'm not necessarily gonna be able take advantage of this comment section down below whether you like expert or OBS and while you're down there don't forget to like this video if you liked it and subscribe and dislike this video if you disliked it and also subscribe because whatever will make one that you like later if you want to get a little bit more of a high end discussion be sure to jump over on the forum you guys can talk there if you don't like the ads that you see on the forum you can become a contributor at any contributor level you get rid of all the ads so don't worry too much about that that will just be entirely fine if you want a shirt that is not this one and know this is not an NVIDIA shirt every single time I wear this I get comments on that you can jump to our t-shirts link down in the description below we've got some pretty cool stuff there and hopefully some cool stuff coming later on thanks a lot for watching this video and I'll see you guys next time
