Hello there, and sorry if I didnt make this post to right place.
Okay, so lets begin. I asked from my friends what would be a good program to stream with and they recommend obs or xsplit so I gave obs a try.
I was playing battlegrounds with random ppl while streaming and I was looking my stream and I noticed it was kinda how do I say it not so good "quality", it had these lagg spikes. Is there a way to make my stream quality much cleaner and not laggy ? I used this estimator app and used those settings it gave me.

Here are some of my computer specs and other informations.

Some information my PC I use
Intel Core I-5-2320CPU @3G.00GHz
RAM 8192MB
Graphics Driver NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580
I guess thats all I could find out

And my settings what I use on OBS

Max Bitrate 2200
Filter bilnear(fastest)
FPS 30

I hope I gave you some information how could I make my streaming better. :)

Thank you -Galaboxi

Your CPU is struggling just a little bit here. You want your duplicated frames to be closer to 0%, less than 1% for sure. Try increasing your downscale another notch to lower your resolution a bit more. That will help your CPU and should help the lag spikes to not occur. You can usually put your Filter to the highest quality setting, there's not much of a CPU cost to it, that I know of.

You can also try setting this Scene Buffering time to 700 instead of 400. 700 is the new default setting, apparently it works better for some people (I never noticed a difference, personally).

You can set more delay your stream in the broadcasting settings. However depending on what streaming service you use there will always be some delay, in case of twitch.tv a delay of 20+ seconds is normal, nothing you can change about that, sadly.

Well if you cannot accept the delay that twitch.tv has you might give hitbox.tv a try, as far as I know the delay there is shorter, though the community is also smaller.

You can also check out the other services listed in OBS settings -> Broadcast Settings -> Streaming Service.
