Hey guys,
I frequently get some spikes in ping when I use OBS in league of legends, e.g. from 30 ping to 80 (sometimes) but mostly to 60 or so. It's fine for me if it is constant 60 ping since even with 30 ping I am grateful, but when it spikes I feel a sharp lag and I want to try to get rid of it. If you guys can help me with suggestions of settings to optimize what I have, it would be appreciated.
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67 GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.67 GHz
Installed memory (RAM): 8.00 GB
System type: 64-bit Operating System
Graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series
25 down 2.7 up (but sometimes it drops to 2.3 for some reason).
I know if somehow I could get better upload speed I wouldn't have to come here but I need to make do with what I have.
Currently I used 1300 bitrate and 2600 buffer size, and I downscaled it to 2.00 (840 x 524), with FPS 30. Initially, I used CBR on and I was lagging quite a bit in game, so I unchecked it and put the quality balance at 5 (I heard the lower this value is for games that have a lot of frames), then the lag went away but that's when I started spiking ping (which isn't as bad as that lag I used to have but still want to try and fix it).
Before thinking of coming to the forums and asking for help, I read about changing the x264 CPU preset, and how it may give a better quality in return for a cost of higher CPU usage, but this area I am concerned of because the OBS warning, so maybe messing with that is something I shouldn't put my tongue into.
Sorry if you do not understand some phrase, please ask and I will try to explain it differently since I am still learning English. Thanks.
