Hi, folks.
I am setting up vMix for our church to stream our services. The Facebook Live stream drops within only a couple of minutes. I AM able to use vMix to produce the content with PowerPoint and a PTZ camera and stream using OBS that captures vMix the output screen. This configuration works very well, but is clumsy and I want to get vMix to do the streaming too. It seems that if I can run vMix and OBS and successfully stream then vMix should be able to do it alone. As I watch the vMix stream, the CPU and GPU percentages are nominal but the total CPU is very high. Watching the GPU performance shows a constant flow until it sharply pegs and then drops to zero. Stream is lost. Any ideas? Thanks.


Hardware:
AMD Ryzen 3 CPU
3.5 GHz Radeon Vega Graphics

22X Onboard 10/100/1000 Gigabit LAN Onboard
8 Channel Audio
Windows 10 Professional 64bit
GeForce Graphics Card

Network:

That Radeon sticks out like a sore thumb. No reason to be running a Radeon and GeForce in one system. It will cause more harm than good. Ditch the Radeon and run the GeForce only.

Nvidia cards are a pretty concrete requirement for vMix, as noted on the page above.

My knowledge of graphics cards it lacking. That sounds like a very good idea and something that I should be able to try. Thank you.
