Using OBS on windows partition on my mac
I have done tons of trial and error and have used suggested settings found on youtube, but still cant seem to get a smooth stream without fps drops or lag occasionally. Is it my settings, internet or is my macbook simply not powerful enough to handle streaming?

Hard wired connection through Ethernet

OBS Settings
i think my settings are at pretty low as is, but still experiencing frame drops and lag
Does not lag as bad when i use Quicksync H.264, but using x264 basically renders stream unwatchable as it becomes really laggy and stutters everywhere.
  • rescale output 852x480, balaned, main, keyframe 2, async 4, CBR, bitrate 2500
  • output resolution 852x480, bicubic, fps 30
I would like to stream at 720p atleast or 1080 if i could with my current setup. However, it seems i can't stream smoothly on even low settings which is really frustrating. Any advice on what i'm doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.
