Hello, i started to streaming last month to Twitch.tv using the codec x264 without any problems, everything was working perfectly, but i stopped a little bit with the streamings and now that im back, im having issues while using the x264 codec, i got tons of dropped frames since the moment i start.

I didn't change my connection or my hardware, but i think my upload is a bit slower these days by some tests on the speedtest website, but still good enough to stream 480/720p using the reference of the estimator on OBS website.

Anyways, i started to try another configs for the streaming and with NVENC codec, i can stream up to 720p without have a single dropped frame. Is this issue with with x264 codec or maybe a problem with my Internet?

PS: I even tried to change servers, stream on the lowest resolution possible with x264 codec and different bitrates, but i got the same problem.
PS2: On the speedtest i tried the closest option i use to twitch, as im from Brazil, my ping is a bit higher.

Yes, i saw that thread and tried the options on it, but it didn't get better, except using the NVENC codec, but i still think x264 have better quality on the image.
