I have lag and low quality in obs even if I have a good pc

[Crazy Cat]

I tried all kinds of tutorials and Posts to get rid of lag and low quality. I think I have a good pc that I can do a stream in 1080p and 60fps but whatever I try I have low quality and I lag.

I have been trying to solve this problem for 2 weeks

I forgot to mention that all the games work perfectly for me, without any trace of lag or framedrop, with the maximum settings (I tried to low the settings during the live, but without any results)
I bought this PC 2 months ago. until I receive an answer I will reinstall windows, this being the last solution I did not try
I have all the drivers up to date.

I forgot to mention, again:)))) that I want to stream and record

1. Run OBS as Admin
2. At least one of your audio devices has a sample rate that doesn't match the rest. This can result in audio drift over time or sound distortion. Check your audio devices in Windows settings (both Playback and Recording) and ensure the Default Format (under Advanced) is consistent. 48000 Hz is recommended.
OBS Sample Rate: 44100 Hz
Speakers (Realtek(R) Audio): 48000 Hz
Microphone (NVIDIA RTX Voice): 48000 Hz

To fix this go to Settings --> Audio --> General --> Change Sample Rate to 48 kHz [Apply] [OK]
3. Display and Game Capture Sources interfere with each other. Never put them in the same scene.
4. Your log contains no recording or streaming session. Results of this log analysis are limited. Please post a link to a clean log file.
To make a clean log file, please follow these steps:

1) Restart OBS.
2) Start your stream/recording for about 30 seconds. Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc.
3) Stop your stream/recording.
4) Select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File. Send that link via this troubleshooting tool or whichever support chat you are using.

3. A bitrate of 25,000 Kbps is more than enough for 1080p 60 FPS per https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2853702?hl=en
Change your output resolution to 1920x1080

Definitely change the Audio Sample Rate. I had lots of issues until I did that.

Also, to reduce the strain on your CPU I would make use of your GeForce RTX 2060 graphics card. Right now, with the settings you have, you are not using that graphics card for anything OBS related. I would at least change the Record settings to use NVENCNnew with a CPQ/ICQ value of 20 to 25 (a lower value is better quality).

If you want to keep using x264 then you should change your settings a little bit as your stream quality will be a bit blurry/blocky with those settings:

Assuming you are streaming to YouTube or Twitch I have found the following settings to be suitable:

CBR Bit Rate: 4500-9000 (For youtube) or 6000 (for Twitch unaffiliated)
Keyframe Interval: 2
CPU Usage: Medium
Profile: High
Tune: none

assuming no-one is saturating your 400+ Mbps upstream you should be good with those settings.

FYI: Twitch and Youtube recommended Stream settings resource:
Twitch:

Twitch Streamers - Twitch Video Encoding/Bitrates/And Stuff

stream.twitch.tv

Youtube:

Twitch gets funny when you go above their recommended BitRate settings for too long. But I believe you can push youtube's bit rate more and they'll accept it.

None of this crap will help you. I posted a thread here and one of the admins need to approve it so everyone can read it. Just come back and search for my name until my thread pops up in Windows Support tab, I assume it won't take more than 24h. I managed to fix it, it's not about your streaming settings or your PC hardware but your ISP.
Just wait until someone approves my thread. :)

@DeniYT - Unless you have more info than this thread provides us, how can you determine that? The speed test provided in the first post indicated a decent latency and very good speeds in both directions. unless you are aware of something upstream from the OPs router specific to their ISP and are not sharing it with us, I am uncertain how you came to that conclusion.

Can you elaborate, within this thread, instead of asking people to search for a random unnamed post you made? It will help people in the future find the answer, as I am sure you will probably post in other threads and as time goes by finding your specific thread may become more difficult. Alternatively linking to that thread might also be helpful, once it's approved.

 

[Crazy Cat]

Maybe he's right... I do not know what to do, I even bought a computer to make quality stream and nothing has changed.
I changed the software and sometimes it works well and sometimes works very badly and I do not want to do... I can't buy a new router because it won't fit because all the TVs are connected to the router And I don't think I can connect the TV to a new route, but only to the "Orange" company I'm at now. They came and said they They've raised the speed twice as good but I don't see any change...
If it's not from the internet, then what can it be from? Good calculator I say I have, i decent settings. Whatever I tried didn't work, I contacted whoever I could from obs and streamlabs but I couldn't fix it.
The thing is that sometimes it goes well then it doesn't work and I move from one platform to another because it doesn't work one, it doesn't work another.
Strange is that sometimes I lag very high on csgo but on COD Warzone I do not have at all (although this game consumes many resources)
You're right, I have pretty good internet speed, I'm LAN connected

 

[DeniYT]

I actually wrote a thread but none of the admins approved it or I'm not sure why it's not public yet. All your ISP cares about is your internet's speed stability and signal's stability, even with those two being great for perfect live streaming, it won't solve you the problem because bitrate will start dropping towards 0, producing dropped frames for your viewers and eventually it will shut down your live stream. You can try it over and over again and you will always get the same results no matter what settings you change in OBS or whatever you change in your system outside OBS.
Advanced network settings in OBS everyone mentions isn't going to work at all, it will just keep your stream running but instead of dropped frames, your stream will look pixelated even more than Minecraft in it's alpha version.
The only thing you can do is to call your ISP and tell them everything in details and what your issue is. I'm pretty sure they will just restart your router, send over support team to fix your internet's signal and they might change your router for newer one. If none of that work when you turn your stream live, the only option you basically have is to tell them to change your internet connection's line to another one close/r to your home. If many other users are attached on your current connection's line/server (idk how to call it), that could be the problem you couldn't stream normally. I'm not sure if I mentioned it before, on my previous connection's line/server there were around 500 other users attached. Now when they switched me to another one with only 50 other users, everything is working perfectly like it used to.
Screw my English, I hope y'all understood me because I gave it a shot to describe everything I experienced over last 6 months and what was the solution needed to fix it.

In Romania employees wouldn't even come to my house to change and solve as you said, so I can't solve..

 

[Brampa]

Bro i have the exact same problem but what surprises me, is that you have the exact same pc as me (AMD RYZEN 5 3600 3,6 GHz). My settings are similar to you, but no matter what i do, it keeps lagging.
