Question / Help Help With OBS settings

[RunTheNine]

Hey just started trying out streaming on twitch, but im not sure what settings I should be using tbh. I tried streaming using x264 without really changing any settings but it was making me drop frames and stutter on Fortnite. After some research found some threads talking about using NVENC so I gave that a shot. The stream looked okish but looked pretty bad at times at720p/30fps. The problem was that even running Fortnite on Low/Medium settings it was still low fps at times and stuttering. Basically what im asking is what settings would you guys recommend for my system that would keep Fortnite running smooth as well as my stream. Thanks for the help btw. let me know if you need any other info

Heres a vod of the stream https://www.twitch.tv/videos/250136339 theres times where it looks really choppy and low quality and even fortnite would stutter at times. Ive read stuff about and seen other streamers with similar specs streaming just fine so I figured its probably obs settings.

Your stream is smooth with no regularly dropped frames, so no resource shortage. In general, your settings are ok. You stream with a very low bitrate (2000), so the video looks pixelated. You have an internet upload speed of 5000, so try to stream with 3500. The remaining 1500 should be reserved for game communication and voip. Keep nvenc. I did not see lags (did not watch the complete video, though), the log also show no general problem, so if you experienced lags, they are probably game-related and not obs-related.
