Hey guys. I'm running MSI and RivaTuner's Statistics Server to overlay my FPS and other stats in a few games. I've noticed that EncoderServer.exe is a necessary process, among a few others. I've also notices some services. My question is, what are all processes/services dedicated to ensuring that the overlay functions properly? I ask because I use IOBit Game Booster when I play a few games, just to instantly shut down a lot of clunky processes. I've looked over the list of processes and services I have set to terminate, but none of them strike me as responsible for interaction with Riva statistics. However, when I use Game Booster, the overlay is not working in any of my games.
I have just tried it with Razer Game Booster and it worked. I checked everything apart from: MSi Afterburner MSIAfterburner.exe RTSS.exe EncoderServer.exe RTSSHooksLoader64.exe Windows Explorer.exe Razer Launch Game on Game Desktop
If you just use OSD functions and not video recording , the dedicated encoder service can be disabled (uncheck it in video capture tab and in settings of RTSS ). you need RTSShookloader64.exe for 64bit app to run OSD .
Yes, it don't encode the video inside the game process, but it encode with it own process, if I am right. This reduce the chance for crashing the 32-bit game process that having memory leak. Of cause for NVENC, it just used for processing something like writing into container, encode the sound, save to hard disk etc.
Hmmm I can still record w/NVENC even without dedicated encoder service checked in AB and RTSS. Can enabling it improve performance while recording? I get massive FPS drop when recording in SLI but almost none when recording in single GPU.
