Im having some trouble with OBS. I just recently got a Ethernet Cord, but when I stream, occasionally the kb/s of the stream will dip down, and back up again. With me also dropping frames in the process. Ive been able to stream pretty steadily for the past few years now, but problems are starting to arise, so I wanted some suggestions on what to do.

I have what the log file told me, but im still not sure what the problem is. These are the settings ive been using for awhile now.

21:28:09.684: [jim-nvenc: 'simple_h264_stream'] settings:

OP - Your logs aren't complete and don't show critical details regarding streaming or recording
As for a fix, have you read any of the Troubleshooting Guides at https://obsproject.com/wiki/ especially https://obsproject.com/wiki/Dropped-Frames-and-General-Connection-Issues

In general, just as driving a car blind-folded is a terrible idea, so to is running computationally demanding workloads like real-time video encoding and NOT monitoring hardware resource (CPU, GPU, RAM, Disk I/O, etc) utilization [for ex. using Task manager’s Performance tab and/or Resource Monitor] to see if your system is being maxed out with your settings.
- So first make sure you haven't overloaded your PC.
- Then make sure the software on your PC isn't interfering. Known problems have included security software not configured to be compatible with streaming, Certain NIC driver software of poor quality (like Killer Ethernet at times), etc
- Then there is the obvious of making sure other devices on LAN (including the unexpected ones) not contending for bandwidth
- Your connection itself (research why short burst Internet Speed tests are NOT reflective of what is required for sustained streaming, like consistent Jitter/Latency, etc)
The vast majority of the above troubleshooting has nothing to do with OBS
