Ok, so I've been streaming for a little while now, and recently, maybe in the past week or two I've noticed my ping increasing while in game from anywhere to 250-300. If I stop the stream and restart it, the ping will go back to the normal 40-60, but sometimes will boost up again causing me to have to reset it.
That leads me to believe it's definitely OBS Studio somehow draining all of my my bandwidth for my download speed, when it should be using upload if I'm not mistaken. One thing I've thought about is the Twitch Chat plugin I have to display it in-stream. I haven't tried disabling it or removing it but I feel like it didn't happen when I had that before, it just randomly started happening recently.

Not sure if it happened during that streaming session I posted, but I'm not sure if it will show up anyway because it's an in-game issue.
Here is a speedtest while not streaming
And this is with the stream on
It doesn't seem like a huge difference like it is putting strain on my network. After a good 5-10 minutes of streaming, sometimes sooner, sometimes later it will spike in game, I haven't done a speedtest while that happens though which I might try to do later.
I've seen several threads with the same sort of problem recently, and we recently got a new router in our household, but I wouldn't think that would be a problem especially with my speedtest results.
Any advice or similar stories, feel free to share, but this is just my little problem that slightly annoys me.
