My System
Cpu- ryzen 5800x
Gpu- rtx 3070
Ram- 32gb 3600mhz
mobo- asus tuf gaming b550+
A few days ago, I started streaming on YouTube, and I noticed that whenever I clicked "Start Streaming," frame drops would begin, and my bitrate wouldn't go above 8k, fluctuating between 2k, 3k, and 4k, even though I had it set to 35,000. My internet speed is 140 Mbps for both download and upload, so that shouldn’t be the issue. After restarting the stream, everything would go back to normal—no frame drops, no bitrate fluctuations—so I kept streaming like this for a few days: starting the stream, stopping it, and then starting again.
But just yesterday, the same trick stopped working. No matter how many times I restarted, 19 out of 20 attempts had 49-60% frame drops, and the bitrate wouldn't stabilize. I called my ISP, explained everything, and even brought over a friend’s gaming laptop to test. On his laptop, using my internet (both Wi-Fi and ethernet), there were no problems—his stream ran smoothly every time. My ISP also checked everything and said there were no issues on their end.
I’m exhausted from trying so many things—uninstalling and reinstalling OBS multiple times, restarting my PC over and over, and even resetting the whole system out of frustration. But nothing seems to work. I’m at a loss. If anyone knows what could be causing this or how to fix it, I’d really appreciate some help!
