Help with Stream?

[DirtyKeyboard]

I try to stream fortnite and my game is lagging a lot

I rarely lag when I play fortnite but as soon as I try to stream I lag insanely bad.

Below I will show my PC Specs, StreamLabs OBS Output & Video Settings, and my Internet Speed.

 

PC Specs:

i5-7600k :: Not Overclocked.

8GB DDR4 RAM

EVGA GTX (sc or ssc i forgot) 1060 3GB

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Streamlabs OBS settings:

 

 

Internet Speed

Speedtest: Ping: 9ms, Download: 226.02mbps, Upload: 11.56mbps.

Google: Download: 162.5, Upload: 7.59

 

My game settings are on all high (it's fortnite)

Streaming requires quite a bit of power to do. You need to be playing the game, and encoding footage at the same time, so it's quite the stress on your machine. The 1060 (especially the 3gb variety) isn't an insanely powerful card. I would recommend lowering your settings/capping your FPS in Fortnite, and see if that helps.

Turn off two pass encoding

 

you can leave the downscale filter at max quality, doesn't effect much.

 

Might need to just use shadowplay to stream.

I already have my design in streamlabs OBS, can I transfer it to shadowplay?

I think your cpu is right on the edge of being viable for what you want to do, something with hyper threading would be much better. Also 8GB of ram is not enough for your situation, if its possible you should add 8GB more.

No idea, but shadowplay is also just NVENC so OBS should just work fine

Turn off rescale output under streaming as well, you're already rescaling it in the video options.
