For the third time coming here to say performance problems when playing streaming on discord

AsterCrash — Sat, 06 Sep 2025 02:04:03 GMT

Good evening, I'm coming here again. I'm having performance issues when streaming while playing. I'll send the files as xcapframe and SSU.

Hardware acceleration disabled in Discord
Enabled efficient video decoding and Cisco System codec.

The game I tested and made the xcapframe for was RE8, but it happens with all my games, even Nikke, which is the lightest on my PC.

Hi AsterCrash,

Before I proceed with my internal investigation, I'd like to try one more troubleshooting step that may resolve this persistent issue. Since you're experiencing system-wide streaming performance problems, I recommend performing a clean driver installation using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller).

Have you tried using DDU to completely remove and reinstall your Intel graphics driver?

If not, please follow Intel's official DDU instructions:

Intel DDU Clean Installation Guide: Official Intel DDU Steps: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000091878/graphics.html

Quick Overview:

Download DDU: https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html
Boot into Safe Mode: Restart your computer and boot into Safe Mode
Run DDU: Use DDU to completely remove all Intel graphics drivers
Restart normally: Boot back into Windows normally
Install latest driver: Download and install driver version 32.0.101.7028 from: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/785597/intel-arc-iris-xe-graphics-windows.html
Test streaming: Try Discord streaming after the clean installation

Sometimes driver remnants or conflicting configurations can cause streaming performance issues that persist even after standard driver updates. A clean installation removes all traces of previous drivers and ensures optimal configuration.

Hi, the new driver didn't improve, but I disabled the GPU scheduling by hardware and it improved a lot. It's not 100%, but I feel like it can be improved a little. The games aren't crashing when using the insane GPU, but I feel a certain instability when I put it to stream. I even did a clean installation of Discord because I thought of files that pointed to my old RTX 3060, but it didn't work. So far, the improvement came from disabling GPU scheduling via hardware, but I feel like it can be improved because when I record using the Windows Game Bar, it is inaccessible in terms of performance, showing that the Intel Arc B580 has a lot of power, but the problem is between Discord and Intel, as far as I tested.

Re:[UPDATE PRODUCT] For the third time coming here to say performance problems when playing streaming on discord

DeancR_Intel — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 00:52:08 GMT

Hi AsterCrash,

Thank you for testing the latest driver version 32.0.101.7029 and for providing the detailed update on your Discord streaming performance issues.

I'm pleased to hear that disabling hardware GPU scheduling has provided significant improvement to your streaming performance, even though it's not completely resolved yet. Your observation that Windows Game Bar recording works flawlessly while Discord streaming still shows instability is very valuable information - this strongly suggests there's a specific compatibility issue between Discord and Intel Arc B580 rather than a general graphics performance problem.

The fact that you performed a clean Discord installation to eliminate any RTX 3060 configuration remnants shows excellent troubleshooting methodology. Your testing clearly demonstrates that your Intel Arc B580 has the necessary power and capability, but there's an interaction issue specifically with Discord's streaming implementation.

Current Status Summary:

Latest driver 32.0.101.7029 tested - issue persists
Hardware GPU scheduling disabled - significant improvement achieved
Windows Game Bar recording - works perfectly (confirms GPU capability)
Discord streaming - still shows some instability
Clean Discord installation performed - no improvement

Given the specific nature of this Discord-Intel Arc compatibility issue and your comprehensive testing results, I will be investigating this matter further internally. The evidence you've provided clearly points to a software interaction problem between Discord's streaming engine and Intel Arc graphics that requires specialized analysis.

I will get back to you with an update once I have more information available from this internal investigation.

Thank you for your exceptional patience and thorough testing throughout this process.

Best regards,

When using hardware scheduling, it drops a lot and keeps dropping. Regarding instability, it has improved a little, but it can be much more polished.

Re:[UPDATE PRODUCT] For the third time coming here to say performance problems when playing streaming on discord

DeancR_Intel — Mon, 29 Sep 2025 22:31:44 GMT

Hi AsterCrash,

Thank you for testing the latest Intel Arc driver version 32.0.101.8132 and providing feedback on your Discord streaming performance.

I understand that with hardware GPU scheduling enabled, you're still experiencing significant performance drops and instability during streaming. While you've noted some improvement in overall stability, I recognize that the performance is still not at the level it should be for your Intel Arc B580's capabilities.

Your comprehensive testing throughout this process has been invaluable - from the initial CapFrameX data, to testing multiple driver versions, disabling hardware GPU scheduling, clean Discord installations, and now testing the latest driver with both scheduling configurations. The fact that Windows Game Bar recording works perfectly while Discord streaming shows these issues clearly indicates a specific Discord-Intel Arc compatibility problem.

Given the persistent nature of this Discord streaming compatibility issue despite extensive troubleshooting and multiple driver updates, I will be investigating this matter internally. The specific interaction problem between Discord's streaming engine and Intel Arc B580 requires further analysis.

Yes, I tested it with the new driver and I still feel instability. After using Windows Capture to capture without it, it stays the same. The game in question I used was Hellblade 2 to capture gameplay while I was streaming on Discord. Unfortunately, the video file was large and does not fit for sending.
