Question

Bad frame drops from going into game

I'm having issues with my character animator puppet. I'm planning on using obs and gaming along with it. I'll admit it's a complex puppet but it's very clean, simplified and flattened. I get 24 frames constant, even when I'm pushing it to OBS and game running. The problem is as soon as I bring the game on my main monitor as my selected active application, my puppet goes from 24 frames to 5. I have a ryzen 9 5950x and 3080 card. CH only drops to 5 frames when my game is selected. Perfect any other time. Even as a background application any other program besides my game. I've tried giving CH CPU high priority and also GPU high performance priority.

Sorry, I should mention my game runs beautifully at 1440 res and 140 frames. GPU is only running at 70 percent load too. All while CH is at 5 frames. When I tab out of the game CH shoots back to a smooth 24 frames. I tried capping my GPU max frames and lowering game resolution but no change.

Did you ever find a solution? At this point I will never be able to livestream using my puppet.

Yeah man, it's sucks but if you want to game, stream and run CH at the same
time you'll probably want a two pc stream. I have a gaming pc and a
streaming pc running OBS and CH. I find CH to be much more GPU intensive
than CPU. With my 3080 12gb I was actually going just over 100% load while
playing Scum and running CH. Never-ending compiling OBS and streaming on
top of it. Too be honest I have a lot of art in my CH project but only
small amounts are visable at a time with basic head and eye tracking. So
although my GPU isn't powerful enough I still can't imaging why CH is so
intensive. Hear me out though, even if CH was pretty easy to run, it would
not be wise to run a game, CH, OBS and pushing out a stream. This is a lot
of load on even a high end computer and you would have zero headroom. You
would find eventually a two PC stream is just the around the corner. Thats
why it's the favorable set up to experienced streamers. Shoot me a DM on
here for any questions to go about it.

GPU support was only added recently, which is why I was wondering what version of the software you're using. Just to rule out the puppet, have you tried running a generic puppet to see what results you get?

Btw my puppet size is 1440. I dont think I have many unnecessary behaviors, its very simple as far as behaviors. As far as I know I only use head and eye tracking.
