You're overloading your GPU and your encoder (CPU).



14:40:55.584: base resolution: 2880x1800
14:40:55.584: output resolution: 2880x1800


Suggest lowering both of these. While best quality is obtained by not scaling and starting with the native resolution of your display, many modern Macs have GPUs that are comparatively weak compared to the high pixel count of their displays. I'd choose 1920x1080 for both and see how that goes. For streaming that would be the high end, and the bitrate you have selected, 2500, is much, much too low for decent quality even at 1080p, let alone the resolution you've chosen. If that is the max upload you can sustain, you should be targeting 720p30.

You don't appear to have changed your resolution settings at all.

20:21:40.879: base resolution: 2880x1800
20:21:40.879: output resolution: 2880x1800
20:21:40.879: downscale filter: Lanczos
20:21:40.879: fps: 30/1


Other than that, there's no output session in the log, so nothing else to look at.


Open OBS. Start an output session (streaming or recording). Observe your issue. Stop the output session. Upload the Current log without quitting OBS.

Small rendering lag.

I would reduce canvas resolution further, your GPU is not particularly powerful.

Frame cap minecraft.
