Question / Help OBS doesn't go above 8K despite settings being a lot higher

[Vaskie]

Hello everyone,

I used to stream for months and months. I streamed at 15K or 8K depending on the service (Youtube, Twitch or Restream). I stopped due to lack of time but today i gave it a go again. Unfortunately i am running into an issue.

Despite my settings being 15000 Bitrate, using NVENC, 60 FPS, when i actually click to start streaming it will show 0 dropped frames, 60 FPS, Green light but it only goes up to 8-9K max when it used to do the bitrate i choose on the settings.

I have been testing for a few hours and i drop no frames or close to no frames. I don't understand. Speed-tests show that i have 20Mb Upload, in the past i used to stream almost daily at 15K-60FPS.

Nothing has changed in my Set-Up.

Thank you guys!

After doing some further tests. It's also recording locally as well as streaming at really inconsistent frame rate. Sometimes it's 60FPS sometimes it's 10, goes up to 25, then 60, then 10.

There has been no changes in terms of hardware. I am still getting 5/10% CPU usage.

About to try uninstalling my graphic card drivers and install the latest version.

Might be worth mentioning that i have a 6700K, 16GB DDR4, 970, and a 500GB SSD and a few 8TB drives.

You've got multiple game captures in the same scene. This is really not recommended and can negatively impact performance. Those sources are consuming resources even when hidden.

Beyond that, only one of these logs has a streaming session in it, and it was only a minute long. To be able to diagnose you need a clean log-- restart the app, start a stream, observe your issue, stop the stream, then upload the log.
