With the new recent build, I dropped my FPS from 30 to 25 (Still very smooth, less work on my CPU) but have been having terrible latency issues. My steam seems to reach a constant 2050 KBP/s even though I have CBR of 1650, or even 1550. This is making gaming very difficult since my ping pretty much increases by at least 250ms.

Would like some help, trying to solve it on my own but haven't gotten any results.

At that resolution and fps you can afford to drop the bitrate a bit more without sacrificing much quality.

How much is a bit more?

Also, not really what I'm asking. I didn't have this issue earlier this morning, it never peaked that high. Ever since I tried to mess with 540 (Due to the new changes) I've been lagging hardcore trying to stream.

If you want your ping problem to go away drop your bitrate/bufsize down to 1200 at a 10 quality (disable cbr). if you're asking about why a constant bitrate is spiking then yes even cbr is not a real flat bitrate. the encoder cannot simply force each frame to be at the exact same size.

It seems to have fixed my ping issue dropping the bitrate that low, and not even noticing any quality loss. Is there a quick guide or something I can look at for bitrate calculations for set res/fps or something.

I was moreso looking for a set bitrate for res/fps kind of like Hilalpro's signature. Reason being is I'm thinking about trying out 540.

I think I've settled on 480 ~6 1400/1400. I play high-moving FPS games, so I'm not sure if I should change something.

If your game's ping is being affected by the stream, use "minimize network impact" in broadcast settings

Okay so I've settled on 1550 KB/s with 96 KB/s audio. Quality of 10, veryfast.

@432
@480

What I'm trying to accomplish here is, least amount of pixelation while at the same time, keeping text readable in-game. If you notice throughout the streams I shoot my bot team mates to test the "Black-Red" box which displays kills and Incapacitation. Problem being though, the text becomes very unreadable on bright maps and there is a lot more pixelation on these maps and similar maps with lots of bright colors. I can't increase bit-rate, and changing from "veryfast" to "faster" gets me close to 99% cpu usage, but never over 95%.

Also for some reason, I can stream at a higher bitrate (Say, 1700 or even 1800) but after a while of streaming OBS seems to go out of control and tries to use all 2100 of my upload for every fast-pace scene. So I've had to settle on 1550, so even when the stream gets out of control it won't reach my bandwidth cap.
