OBS Dropping Frames During Stream

[DaddyBlankk]

Hello,

I am running into an issue when I am streaming and I keep dropping frames. Stream will be fine for 10 minutes or so and then I drop 1000+ frames in a matter of seconds. I have tried changing my resolution, experimenting with bitrates, etc. It seems I have tried everything. I recently updated my PC parts to up the performance of my PC. Prior to the update, I started to drop frames right before I updated everything. After the update, it is still happening.

Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Have you learned how to use Task Manager/Resource Monitor to keep an ie on hardware resource utilization?

Though in your case a quick view of log shows:
1:26:20 PM.164: Output 'simple_stream': Number of dropped frames due to insufficient bandwidth/connection stalls: 1714 (5.9%)
...
1:49:08 PM.919: Output 'simple_stream': Number of dropped frames due to insufficient bandwidth/connection stalls: 3905 (9.6%)

So do you know EXACTLY what every other device on local network is doing with upload bandwidth? or you monitoring your Internet connection (not just a once in a while speedtest)?

I have not learned how to keep an eye on hardware resource utilization as I have never particularly ran into issues. As far as knowing exactly what every device is doing with upload bandwidth, I do not. A general idea, yes. I do speedtests every once in a while. Google speed test shows my speeds are significantly lower (wired, 45mb down, .5 mb up) than what my phone (WiFi, 270mb down, 80mb up) or other speedtests say (Wired, 80 mb down, 20mb up).

Just looked at Task Manager and saw this.... What would cause this if I am wired on my PC?

something on your PC receiving inconsistent traffic over the network?
do you have a Internet connected game running when you captured that? or Discord or similar?

also, that 0.5mbps upload may mean that something else was consuming your upload bandwidth, which would also impact streaming
so that capture shows receiving, not sending (so not your PC consuming upload bandwidth) but something else might be

I have discord running and Call of Duty (PS4), but that is it. Switched out CAT7 cables and it went up to 15 mb upload, but still dropping frames.
