Question / Help Some assistance for bitrate setting

Hi there. I'm new to streaming and am looking for some experienced streamers to assist me in trying to find the most optimal bitrate for my connection.

I have a fiber optic 1.8Mbps upload. I mainly play games such as Team Fortress 2, Dota 2 and Garry's Mod (non-sandbox mode).

My issue comes down to the fact that when I stream, my latency skyrockets to the point where I cannot react to actions fast enough due to the lag.

I have noticed that anything over 1000/1000 bitrate/buffer and my latency will go into the 200-300 range from 30-40. Is there any possible way, with my current upstream, that I can optimize my bitrate and buffer to improve image quality with minimal latency increase? Should I increase my bitrate and use a custom buffer and set it lower than my bitrate?
