Xtractor Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) idk much about GCard setting and stuff ..but since few months im lagging a lot in Renx when recording ..thing that wasnt happening before ....no recording im kind of ok. Trying to find the reasons like record setting or programs running on back ground ..cant find really something ..but Now i suspect my Graphic card been the problem. I notice some Spikes with this Afterbunner program while im idling and i think its the cause of my lagging ..can someone watch this little video and tell me if what he see is normal ? to me isnt normal and think i will have to change my card Thanks!

Novilan Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) Can you post kind of the same video with the GPU-load below instead of the GPU temperature and maybe also a video under heavy load? Besides switching to the high power state and back for some reason I don't see any unusual behaviour by your graphics card here or any sign of it dying.

Xtractor Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 Relly dont know what to think has soon i start recording ..lag lag ..something i never had before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novilan Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) I presume that this also shows the idling state, regarding that it looks perfectly normal to me. So it would be interesting to see now, how it looks under heavy load like your gaming and recording scenario. Maybe the graphics card throttles itself there. Btw what recording software are you using, nVidia shadowplay? Apart from your graphics card I would check the video settings of Renegade X and the settings of your recording software, whether something has changed there due to an update. Maybe there is a setting, which your already older graphics card can't handle. Edited February 26, 2017 by Denuvian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtractor Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 I always use Fraps ..for the rest i will try to see what i can do ..thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtractor Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 I rooled back to my previous Driver version and spikes are gone very stable now and temp when down also I tweak more the ingame setting ..before i had a smaller monitor when i changed it for bigger Id go for better resolution an now i think my Gpu cant handle higher . So Id lower my setting 1280 x800 or 1280x700 and few other things to medium . seem much better now will have to test for a while and see if its doing the job ok we will see by my future videos..but looking good ..so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novilan Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Alright, sounds good. Yeah, I also don't think that your GPU can handle much more, if you don't lower some other settings at the same time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is throttling here, you can see it going from load to idle very fast. On 26-2-2017 at 4:16 PM, Denuvian said: Alright, sounds good. Yeah, I also don't think that your GPU can handle much more, if you don't lower some other settings at the same time. Fraps is based upon the CPU, not the GPU. By lowering the settings in RenX you mostly unstress the CPU as the UE3 also leans heavily on the CPU..

Link: https://obsproject.com/ It takes away the CPU overhead and is completely open source and 100% free! It's awesome.

It utilises the hardware encoder (VCE) on the AMD Radeon HD 7000 and newer series of GPU's." and I have an GTX 580 ..mb my GPU is too old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruud033 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Oh, i thought you had an AMD card. For Nvidia cards, use NVENC https://www.youtube.com/results?sp=EgIIBQ%3D%3D&q=nvenc+obs 12 hours ago, Xtractor said: As for OBS: I got it install but wasn't recording video for now ..your Youtube^^, I'm sorry I don't quite understand this sentence..

Xtractor Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 After watching your Youtube video about OBS ,I'd download and install the program .tested recording a game on OBS default setting and the result was an all black video (no picture but sound ok) I'd didnt go further investigating why ..

Ruud033 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Ah ok, thats probably because you have not assigned a source to it for it to record. You can search the web for tuts on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novilan Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) Yes, looks like you were right about your graphics card then. Unless it's just an overheating issue due to dust or something like that, you can plan on getting a new one now.

Xtractor Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 Already bought one ,a ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1070 Founders Edition 8GB GDDR5 should received around Friday I might open my GPU when The new one wil be installed and check if anything could be fix like the thermal paste ..never know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmitzenbergh Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 You can always try to 'bake' the GPU in an oven for +- 10 minutes @ 200 degrees Celsius. Make sure you remove all the fans, heatsinks etc... Only the PCB should be left. After baking, let it cool down and re-attach the heatsinks and fans. Then, try again in your pc! I've done this once with a GeForce 8600GT and it ran for 1 year again. Then it died permanently... Then you could sell the card to get some money for your new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gliven Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 It only works in Easy-Bake ovens though. Big people ovens will turn your card into a cake. you dont want to turn your card into a cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
