Issues with M1 Max to Twitch
@metagamers I'd still say these things:
1. It sounds weird your son's quality is better. Medium CPU-encoding should look better than what you showed us, and better than any gpu-encoding onto twitch at 6k. So something is still a bit off here.
2. You can improve your quality by lowering resolution. The whole point of increasing resolution is to have more details per inch, but if your details are all fuzzy at a higher res, that defeats the purpose anyway.

Anyway, X264 cpu encoding's better quality than GPUs. People prefer GPU encoding because the hit to performance is much lesser.

You're streaming using the CPU anyway.

This does look way worse than I'd expect medium x264 to look, for sure.

1. Link the stream VoD, so we'll be able to tell if it's expected Twitch quality.
2. People will ask you to share your OBS logs.

W11 refuses to finish the 23H2 update
I remember when I had to put pagefile on another drive. Not recommended since it impacts speed quite a bit, but as a stopgap measure, it works.

Best CPU to pair with a 1060 3GB
Yeah, especially as 3 GB VRAM is very limiting for actually playing video-games, even at 1080p. But if you want to use it for a home network storage, or as a streaming PC, you don't really need much, and the GPU won't be a bottleneck either.

Recording with a requirement for size as much as quality.
I think your question got cut short at the end there.

DaVinci resolve, my videos look blurry or pixelated when the FPS games have a lot of movement
From the original blurry photo, I couldn't even tell he had a beard. Thought he just had two black tufts 😄

Why does this happen?
@JayDoubleUAye Since you seem to be checking semi-infrequently, I'll post some questions and then what to do depending on the answer, and reasoning. So you could go forth without waiting for another back-and-forth.
1. Start with updating BIOS and chipset drivers. This is always good.
2. If you just press power multiple times, does it work, or do you have to go to the power switch on the rear? Cause if just pressing power multiple times works, it might even be something as innocuous as the switch itself being faulty.
3. What happens when you press power and it doesn't work? Is the computer screen black but the PC "turns on"? From the video it seems to not be the case, but if that is the case, then BIOS (voltage/power) settings could very much be at fault.
4. If you do indeed have to turn the power switch on the rear off every time this happens, and if the computer entirely doesn't power up, which seems to be the case, do the following:
1. Try swapping your PC power cable, and maybe try connecting it to a different socket, preferably a different phase if you live somewhere with a multi-phase electric, to determine it's not a problem external to the PC.
2. Do what I said, by turning off the rear power and even potentially taking it out of the socket for a night, in case there's some capacitor issue. But this will only really help identify it, which is less useful if the issue is intermittent, and still leaves you needing to find whether it's the PSU or the MoBo that's faulty and replace them.
3. What's your PSU's wattage, and what's your CPU + GPU combo? It's possible that your PSU simply hit the limit, especially as it's aging. Try removing unneeded USB devices, turning off your RGB, and see if it makes a difference.

If a computer has issues and it's not RAM-related, which is #1 culprit, it's usually PSU/Mobo stuff >.>

Why does this happen?
Definitely update the BIOS/chipset. And try what I outlined. If that doesn't work, then yeah, either a faulty motherboard or faulty PSU are the most likely culprits.

Why does this happen?
Have you tried turning off the power switch for an entire night, just to see if it helps any? It sounds more like a capacitor issue of some kind than a PSU issue to me.

It was the capture method in OBS for the source that was the culprit.

Changing it from Capture Method: Automatic, to "Windows 10, 1903 and up" fixes it. Any idea why this happened to begin with though? :hmm:
