Streaming tips

[Reaper113]

Didn't happen to see a streaming sub forum so I figured here would be a good place to ask

 

Hey everybody, I'm having some trouble with streaming and would love some insights. I've streamed loads of other games and never had any issues like this. 

 

When I'm trying to stream cod my stream lags like crazy, freezes entirely, and sometimes gives me up to a 1 minute delay. I have a 8700k OC'd to 4.8ghz, 16gb of ram 3200mhz, and an asus 2080 gpu. Also I have gigabit Ethernet so my connection is no problem. My frame rate is fine in game but unless I have EVERYTHING closed down and am running the game at 50% scale resolution my stream gets totally destroyed. I'm running slobs on the nvenc encoder on low latency mode as well. I wouldn't really have an issue with running the game that low scale but man, it really looks like ass. I'm streaming at 1080p 60fps and running the game at 1440p. I've also bumped down almost every single graphical slider to mid or low with little to no improvement. I am also running slobs as admin to give it top priority above everything else

 

Would love to hear what you guys think, thanks so much in advance 

 

Here's a link for reference, not plugging my twitch at all I just need some help lol

Try 720p or 1080p at 30 fps with a bitrate of 6000 kps.

Actual bitrate and internet upload speed please. Also are you seeing OBS dropping frames or just stream?

I believe my bitrate is set to 6k or so, and when I check my stream manager it says the same. Ookla speed test gives me 940 up and down, but testmy.net gave me around 125 up and down, obs was dropping a LITTLE bit, but not to the extent of how it was showing up on stream. As in it wasn't constant drops or anything, maybe 1 or 2 frames every 10ish minutes.

I've streamed at full CPU and gpu utilization before though with no issues to the game or stream, it seems to be just call of duty that it's messing up on. My kps is already set to 6000, twitch can't really handle anything more and there isn't much point to streaming past that, from what I've been told.

Have you tested if same would happen with YouTube streaming?

I've never tried streaming on YouTube, I'm not exactly big on twitch or anything lol but I do have some followers so I don't think I'll switch over, does YouTube have higher bitrate allowances?

That and their servers are under smaller load. I've read tons of threads about ppl getting frame drops with good hardware and internet on Twitch. Letting to believe that it's Twitch server side issue. If same happens on YT, we know it's your end of the chain.
