You're streaming over wireless, which is likely unstable. Use a wired connection.

Also, speedtest is worthless for livestreamers. Use a 6MB test at http://testmy.net/upload instead, where possible.

Seconded though, it's most likely the wifi thing. It's not designed for sustained data throughput, is subject to lots of interference, and should not be used in a statically-located system. It's designed for lightweight connectivity for mobile devices, not so lazy people don't have to run cables.

That's a generic 'results' page that pulls based off a locally stored cookie, and does not display your results to others. Just paste the mbps result here. We don't need to go to another webpage for that. :)

LazyxRegards can you tell me pls where do you have your GPU connected (put your motherboard also). Make sure that you have it connected to PCI 3 otherwise will not work properly when livestreaming.

What the hell are you talking about, pacholol? It doesn't need to be in a specific slot, so long as it's not a 1x slot or something like that.
Most cards also don't exceed the bandwidth offered by an 8x slot either, though most people use a 16x just to be safe.

I had the same issue , a viewer on my stream had the same issue and I think that this guy has the same issue.

Ps: wanna see how many posts i had before finding out the problem?

Not really, as the 'fix' makes no sense, unless your motherboard has a severe design flaw.

Oh sorry my apologise I was thinking about FPS not Frames in obs ...
Anyway if you want to see this : http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmes ... _id=434628 , after I swaped to PCi 3 - 720p 60fps - no problem or fps drop. http://www.twitch.tv/pacho_lol/b/483093822

A lot of people don't consider this but it may be an important factor for livestreaming. As I said a guy come to my stream last nigth and was like "hey dude how u can stream 720p 60fps and I cant with the same cpu". Today he come and says that he is now able to stream 1080p 60fps by just swaping the gtx on the pci 3 slot.
