Bug Report Lagging when streaming in youtube and any platform

Your GPU is getting overloaded, which is causing rendering and encoding lag.
First off, turn off game mode (follow these directions). After that, ensure you have a cap on your game's framerate (either by using vsync or by setting a maximum framerate limit), and lower your graphics settings so that you're able to maintain that framerate.
Also, you can try turning off psycho visual tuning, as that uses extra GPU power.

thankyou for response . ill try everything to make my gpu can load more .
but will u recomend if im using x264 ?
can my ryzen 5 1500x handle it ?
well everythings looks so good now , but i have 1 more question . why is my live stream looks so bad .i put res 720 but looks like 360 , im using 3500-4000 bitrate
Since past saturday; https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/one-day-to-another-youtube-streaming-is-lagging-choppy.102669/
I'm getting more or less the same problem, I try to stream with no changes on configs, no new software installed and same parameters.. and my stream on YT is choppy.
But my GPU ( 1080ti ) is working "only" at 56% or a bit more (because is not a huge demand game at all). So my gpu is not overloaded by any means. Is weird and I'm turning mad cause I dont get the point of this. Maybe a normal windows update... I don't know.
I started to use new OBS with new nvenc since Wenesday and no problems at all, I made 3 lives in YT at 1440p perfectly but this saturday I was preparing all and was hell of choopy.
If you or anyother can bring me some help please I will be very glad.
There is one inside that thread I post it.
Anyway I'm doing lot of testing and for exacple in the last one I change B-frames to 1, in Sekiro, and the test stream was awesome like before (not that much)

I wish I have the log from the first streams with problems but well... That log is from my last test that was pretty ok.

Well that was from the last stream test. Is it gets worst on next streams I'll give you the new log.

There we go, that's the information that's needed.
The rendering lag is your main issue. The encoding lag is a byproduct.
Change your preset from "Max Quality" to "Quality", and turn off Psycho Visual Tuning. Both of these options leverage CUDA, which requires more GPU usage for encoding... which is more than likely causing both the rendering and encoding lag.
Code:
01:52:22.242: Output 'adv_stream': stopping
01:52:22.242: Output 'adv_stream': Total frames output: 19586
01:52:22.242: Output 'adv_stream': Total drawn frames: 16465 (19634 attempted)
01:52:22.242: Output 'adv_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 3169 (16.1%)
01:52:22.242: Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 3559/19602 (18.2%)

01:46:55.009: psycho_aq: trueBut is weird because I'm using those settings in the last tests that were nicely with good quality. And the game is using 45 to 50% GPU usage and even less cpu (is Sekiro), in a 1080ti... In fact My 3 first streams were with those settings cause was the fist config I use following the "official" guide for new nvenc so I'm still confuse about why first three days ok and the next one bad.
Anyway I'm goint to test with those two parameters and let's see, thanks for the help mate.
What do you think about the last post the user "Hope" made ?; https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/stutters-in-preview-window-and-stream.102798/#post-398762
That difference between fullscreen and windowed..

Going to be 100% dependent on the game, how windows is feeling, how relative loading is on GPU and CPU, what other programs you're running, etc. There's no way to know what's going to work better until you try it for yourself, in your own environment.
That said, for most things fullscreen will force windows to allocate more priority to the fullscreen application... which is why one of the big recommendations is to turn off full screen optimizations for the program, so that it doesn't steal GPU resources from OBS.

I'm testing right now; one with Max Quality and Psycho off and another one with Quality and Psycho on.. and I would say that the last one with pyscho on and quality preset looks and runs better. Pretty much like ingame.
I made another with Quality and Psycho off, and it looks worst than the other two. Supposed to runs better but is worse wtf..
(Hope I found the good spot)
