1st build and having issues playing while streaming

[Eightballing1]

hey everyone.

 

I am new to PCs, just built my first.

 

Ryzen 7 5800x

Radeon RX6800XT

2x16 DDR4

1TB SSD

ASUS Rog Strix B550-F

 

i am trying to play war zone and stream at the same time and once I go live, my wars one lags so bad it’s unplayable. I watched a bunch of videos and tried adjusting my streamlabs settings and my war zone settings and nothing is working.

 

what am I doing wrong?!?

Ok so couple things.

 

What are you using to stream with? Your gpu or cpu?

What is your upload and download speed?

Anything else you are doing on the internet whilst streaming?

 

Also could you turn off cursive text it's extremely hard to read.

Thanks - I need to look into this when I get home. What should those all be?

Depends what you mean by "lag" here. It's used as blanket term for all gaming issues, not just to do with networking as the original intent.
But if it is networking related, then your internet speeds are key.

 

Also knowing your stream settings will help.

 

And last, do you have chipset drivers and latest GPU drivers installed?

There isn't a right or wrong answer here it's just me asking for more information :p.

Ok - Nothing else running. CPU usage around 50% while playing and streaming, temps all good.

Just did a BIOS flash and it wiped everything off my computer so I had to start from scratch. Downloaded all latest drivers

 

The gameplay once i hit go live - the game starts dropping frames (can't see my parachute or gun in hand) then I start rubberbanding.

That sounds like GPU having some issues rendering stuff. You haven't noticed this while only gaming or running GPU heave benchmarks?

Nope gameplay is fine. Even fine when I have OBS up but not live. The minute I hit live, it takes a dump..Im wondering if I should return my GPU and go with an NVIDIA - If Microcenter even allows GPU exchanges

I can't say anything to that. But I would run stress test and other things to see if those reveal anything similar. The oddity is that you get same issues with CPU rendering.

Hey so I tried disconnecting my Ethernet and using my wifi only (which only was showing 1 or 2 bars)...and I was able to stream and play at the same time with no issues! 
 

My PC to the wall was an old Cat 5e. The wall to the router is a Cat6. I just went out and bought a Cat6 for my PC to wall connection, and once again, I have my packet loss issue in game while streaming. Went back to wifi, and working again.  Is a Cat6 not capable enough? That doesn’t make sense to me that wifi can handle it but Ethernet can’t

Can you connect directly to router, not going by wall mounts? I doubt its really just cable thing, like it could be ethernet driver too.

Yeah, I would have to check my drivers. Connecting directly to the router wouldn’t be too tough, just need to buy another cable to reach it and a connector
