1. What is Streamlabs FPS?

FPS (Frames Per Second) in Streamlabs measures how many frames your streaming software can capture and encode each second. Higher FPS results in smoother video but requires more system resources.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the FPS formula:

Where:

• \( FPS \) — Frames Per Second
• \( Frame Time \) — Time to process one frame in milliseconds

Explanation: The equation converts frame time in milliseconds to frames per second.

3. Importance of FPS Calculation

Details: Knowing your FPS helps optimize streaming settings. Common targets are 30 FPS for most streams and 60 FPS for fast-paced games.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your frame time in milliseconds (typically available in Streamlabs performance metrics). The value must be greater than 0.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's a good FPS for streaming?
A: 30 FPS is standard, 60 FPS is preferred for fast action. Higher FPS requires more bandwidth and CPU power.

Q2: Why is my FPS dropping?
A: Common causes include high CPU usage, GPU limitations, or insufficient encoder settings.

Q3: How can I improve my FPS?
A: Lower resolution, reduce encoder preset, close background apps, or upgrade hardware.

Q4: Does FPS affect stream quality?
A: Yes, higher FPS makes motion smoother but may reduce image quality if bitrate is too low.

Q5: Should I use V-Sync with Streamlabs?
A: V-Sync can help if you're experiencing screen tearing, but may cap your FPS.
