Question / Help Issues streaming on YouTube

[Bambel]

Here's a log.

I'm determined to use H.264 encoder because it doesn't take up frame rate as badly. I intend to broadcast at 1080p @ 60 FPS

My problem is when I stream, it'll be choppy, loading one frame every three seconds or longer. Even though the bit rate is 6000, OBS tells me on the bottom right corner of the window that it's not going over 4500. The bottom left corner of the OBS window tells me "Encoding overloaded!" I took the advice and set the preset to "ultrafast" when encoding with x264. However, I wasn't sure what to do with H.264. Even if I stream using x264, it'll still have the same problem. My upload speed is 20 Mbps. I am using YouTube's recommended settings for 1080p @ 60 FPS, which are these, except for video codec level "4.1" because for some reason OBS will not let me begin streaming if that is the level, so I set it to "auto."

Maybe desktop and game capture active in same scene causes it.

This is with NVENC 1920x1080x60FPS Profile main
TRY profile HIGH

Well, I set it to downscale to 720p, and it works fine, but I know for certain it will work with 1080 because it has worked before. For now I am happy

Video settings: if you fix rescaled resoltion as canvas (1920x1080) ---> change Lanczos to bicubic orr even bilinear
DO NOT rescale again in Output settings

You use 1920x1080x60fps... also can reduce to 30 fps.

Try this.

Yeah, still has same issue. Still want to stream at 60 FPS. Thank you.

So, do not rescale and set bicubic or bilinear with 60 fps.
And remember: do not rescale again (leave unchecked) in Output
