Question / Help I7-8700k And Laggy Stream?

[anthony arena]

I upgraded so that i could stream PUBG without lag.. My friends keep telling me that they see distortion in my stream when i play.. Sometimes it lags as if it has a hint of bad quality. I thought an 8700k would help me stream no problem. I have 16gb of ram and a GTX 960 Strix which i am upgrading within the next 2 weeks. I run between 40% CPU and 100% depending on the settings i've messed around with. My GPU runs at 100%. My OBS settings are in the pictures provided. Thanks to the future responses and i'd love to fix this issue, it's really demotivating!

720p60 at 2400 bitrate will not look good , bitrate needs to be higher somewhere form 3000-4000 or stream at 30fps with 3000

If your GPU runs at 100% you will have rendering lag. OBS needs GPU to tender frames.
reduce ingame graphics needs.

Im not a partner so i can't use more than 3k bit rate i think or 2500

Limit is 6000 kbps for all.
But of you are not partner better not exceed 3500 kbps.

Partner or not does not matter at all for bitrate.

 

[EBrito]

Yes, R1CH is right.
You can go up to 6000kbps if you want.

I've heard that if Twitch needs bandwith for partners, they will reduce non partners one. That's why I recommended 3500.
