I recently started having issues with OBS-studio. I will drop frames but the stats window does not show any dropped frames for network or encoder. My bitrate will bounce all over the place. I have 20 Mbps upload, a constant ping running to monitor my connection with pingplotter, my speeds are always 20+ and when I run the twitch test tool by R1ch it shows 10,000+ and 100 for quality.
NVENC
6000 bitrate
PC is an i9-9900KF with a 2080 super.
I've done a clean install of OBS with 1 scene and 1 source (log below) and still was dropping frames.
Fresh install of Windows 10
Updated all video and ethernet drivers
Tried new network code as well as TCP pacing
Dynamic bitrate obviously stops it from dropping frames in stream, but my bitrate will drop to less than 100 Kbps and struggle to get back up to 6000 which obviously makes my stream look horrible.
I've tried bypassing my router and plugging right into my modem
I've tried running through a vpn to see if I was being throttled by my ISP
There might be something I missed, but I think I've tried everything I possibly could
I'm not a newbie when it comes to obs, I've setup countless streams for other people without an issue. I'm at a loss as to what could be the issue?
