Question / Help Help me figure out the best settings/tweaks for my stream please !

[Procraft21]

I do not have the best set up nor the best upload speed but not the worst either ! I'd say both at mediocre levels.

In term of internet speeds I have 20 down 3 up.

Pc specs I have:

FX 8350 Octa core black edition, 8 Gb of ram and a GTX 1050TI.

I currently stream with a resolution of 1024x576 1.9-2k bitrate and the new NVEC encoder and 30fps (I left the other settings as is cause I'm not quite sure what they do) and I drop A LOT of frames, not to the point of the stream freezing but it does slow down stutter and slow down a lot. I stream Overwatch there is alot of movement involved and if I drop my bitrate too much it gets super pixelated during fights. I was wondering if you could please help me find a middle ground where I can have a semi high bit rate (1.8-2k ish) so my game doesn't get pixelated and stays watchable while sacrificing some other things I might not need in the situation or settings that I might have not tweaked.

I'm not an expert at all, yet ;) But here is what i would try:

Change output resolution to base resolution. Don't put extra stress on your system.
Run OBS as administrator. Your system will give resources to OBS and encoding first and then to your game second.

I think i would also change some other settings but will wait till im at my system and can check. Expect another message.
