I have been streaming on YouTube with the following OBS configuration for 1080p/60fps without any issues.
My fiber optic internet speed is 500 Mbps, and I connect via Cat 6 Ethernet cable.
However, I recently switched to a 2560x1440 monitor, and according to YouTube’s support, it’s recommended to increase the bitrate to 24,000 for streaming at 1440p/60fps.
So I increased my bitrate to this amount, but I noticed that the maximum bitrate OBS allows is around 14,500 bits. It doesn’t matter if I stream at 480p, 720p, 1080p, or 1440p; the maximum bitrate OBS allows is around 14,500 bits. I hadn’t noticed this issue before because I was only using 12,000 bits for my streams.
This is the log:
This is my PC specs:
This seemed very odd to me, so I installed OBS on my laptop, configured it the same way as on my PC, and connected it to the internet using the same Cat 6 Ethernet cable that I use with my PC. I was surprised to find that on my laptop, I could set a bitrate higher than 14,500 bits and stream without any issues. The highest bitrate I tested was 50,000.
Given this, I understand that the problem is with my PC, but I have no idea which configuration or component is causing the issue. Can anyone help? Thanks.
