Hello, tried streaming some Counter-Strike: Global Offensive today but all i have is problems after joined to the server. Here is testmy.net results:

Code:

Upload Speed Test Size:: 33 MB or 33792 kB or 34603008 bytes

Computer:

i5 2500k @ 4.3GHz
8gb 1333mhz DDR3
HD 7970

Stream settings:

Server: London, UK
Use CBR checked
Bitrate: 1321/1321, as the estimator told
Audio Bitrate: AAC 64
Minimize Network Impact checked
Ingame resolution: 1600x900
Stream resolution: 800x450
FPS: 25
x264 CPU preset: fast

My normal ms is 8-10. I downloaded hilalpro's streamtest.bat and highest ms i reached was 45, as soon as i started game and joined server my ms starts to reach 100-250, see this.

^ SO, with bitrate 1321 and streamtest.bat running my ms is 20-40, as soon as i join some csgo server my ms will go to 100-250

Any ideas what could cause that pingspike? :< Kinda odd that when I tried to bump bitrate while running that streamtest.bat to 1450, highest ms was 80, i know that game will eat some bandwith but should it be lagging like that?

Since you're targeting constant bitrate encoding your sustainable bandwidth is mostly what matters not as much the amount of action/motion happening. the encoder will try to target close to the bitrate you've specified regardless of what's happening.
The added ping that you've noticed is caused by the packet queuing from the game as well as the not so placable video + audio bitrate spikes.
