Hi, lemme go ahead and introduce myself

I'm new to the forums and streaming in general. Recently picked myself up a gaming pc and built it myself. The specs are 4th gen I7, (not sure on the motherboard however i remember when checking on it, it was rated as a top of the line motherboard) I have a gtx 980ti and 16 gigs of ram. Any other specs you need just ask. Im not sure whats all important.

Anyway, I was streaming with OBS on League and all was fine. No blurriness or frame drop, but when I went to more demanding games I.E. Fallout 4, CS-GO, H1Z1 ect.. It was suddenly like you couldnt even see the stream. I am streaming in 1080p but downscaled 1.5.

Now heres what i don't understand:

I tried out ShadowPlay by GeForce, and all the problems I had with OBS vanished. No blurriness on movement, my stream was crystal clear but I couldn't do all the things i could with OBS. I have 6.7 Upload (most common result when tested on Speedtest.net) and i usually set OBS up as 1800-2000. Could anyone give me some advice as to why?

send your logfile from your moment obs settings. And look to send us the right names of your current hardware

It could be a problem with using nvenc. I dont have good experience to using it. Worse quality. Stucks ingames and other things. But you have a good cpu . You should set to x264 the encoding. Use the same bitrate for buffer and max. Bitrate. Disable the quality dont set it to 8 or something. Set in advanced options the cpu preset to veryfast. Use cbr and cfr and set your profil to main. You could with thus upload try to set your bitrate too 2500 kbit/sec. If its really stable with around 6000kbit/sec
Look to pause all streams in background. Every stream. Which is running could cost around 15 % cpu usage. Your hardware should be able to stream easy in 720p60fps but if its not working try a lower fps like 45 or 30

I just recently tried Nvenc, it was worse with the prior setting. If i try to go above 2000 bitrate i drop frames. Im not sure what the problem is.

Again nvenc is not really good right now. Its not even so fast like x264 and brings a lot of problems if you stream in high resolution /fps. And i believe you mean 60 down and 5 up

Dropped frames (as reported in the bottom of the OBS window) are to do with your internet connection. If your dropped frames there is 0, you have another problem.

And nvenc's quality at common streaming bitrates is complete and utter junk.

Ehm monitor capture works fine and some people actually have to use it. Never had any problems with this, just a bit higher cpu load...
