Hi everybody, Im trying to stream GRW but it looks the game is always hungry for more CPU power/cores. I tested it with Player.me, OBS and SLOBS.


I have tested many possible configurations, no succes, the game starts stuttering.and has huge FPS drops. 🤒

On the other hand I can stream BF1 very easily at 1920x1080@30 FPS without FPS drops 👍

What the hell is going on with GRW? Do I need to sell a kidney to buy an AMD Threadripper for gaming and streaming simultaneously? Please Help!!

My setup
AMD FX8350 @ 4ghz
M5A78L-M/USB3
MSI GTX 1050 TI Gaming X 4Gb
SSD Lit-On 120Gb
900W PSU

Hey N00Sphere! Thanks for the report.

Do you notice in Task Manager whether it's the game or your streaming software that's using excessive resources?

Hi Ubi-Gumdrops

Its the game that´s using extreme cpu resources I have hugh FPS drops on High at 1080p with custom settings (no shades, god rays, etc) without streaming 🤒

To keep my consciousness clean I made a fresh install of Windows 10, dloaded all updates, game is running on SSD (secondary drive), Turbo Core is disable in BIOS to
eliminate fluctuations in CPU speed (all cores up and running at 4ghz), Core temperatures are normal, around 45/50 degree Celsius at full ingame workload...problem persists.

Im monitoring the system with OpenHardwareMonitor.

Thanks for the update!

It almost sounds like the game is switching to an integrated graphics device but the FX line doesn't have that.

Have you tried running with all graphics settings at low/switched off and see if it persists?

[N00Spt]

I will try that and come back to you asap 👍

first of all, you are running a 1050 gb instead of a 980/1080 8gb.... theres you problem dude! i stream on a 3.3ghz i7/gtx980 8gb nearly flawlessly using the NVENC software

@CarolinaFrog, you are using hardware accelerated NVENC Encoder and thats not my goal...I want to use the CPU instead and let the the GPU alone.
@Ubi-Gumdrops indeed I droped the definitions to low, still have high CPU consuption, the game is poorly optimized :\ problem solved with a dedicated machine for streaming.

@N00Sphere I checked your PC specs. Your CPU is the same as the CPU in the recommended requirements for GRW. This means you should be able to run it at 60 FPS at the most. As I also stream as well, I know that OBS/SLOBS can be a bit hard on your CPU occasionally. I used to have the FX-8350 as my first CPU, and it would have a hard time running games I had on High while trying to stream using the CPU encoder. I honestly found using the NVENC Encoder helpful, since I had a 8 GB 1070 in my PC. I can understand you would prefer to use the CPU base instead, but the GPU encoding may be optimal for this scenario.
I can look further into this if you'd like? If you could, please submit your MSINFO and dxdiag files on a ticket, then update this thread with your ticket number.

@UbiSailorScout sorry for my late reply

Thanks for your time
