Question / Help streaming destiny 2 running at 60 fps but 30fps output

[Youngbloodb]

Hello,
My specs are as follows
i5 6600k (bought the wrong mobo so I cant OC past 3.5ghz)
1060 6gb vram OC to 2ghz
16 gb RAM
1 tbb HDD

any other specs i felt were irrelevant.

Ive been streaming destiny 2 for awhile now, and the quality is watchable, but I want to min/max with what I got to reduce pixels. Ive been using a bit rate of anywhere from 4000-4700 kps. I encode with the gpu as I do not think my processor could handle both the game and obs. I am wondering if theres any tweaks I could do or if im locked in with my current video quality. Thanks!

OBS log please.

here is the log file from my previous stream as well

19:58:12.466: fps: 30/1
You've told it to be 30fps

23:54:14.437: Output 'adv_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 23 (0.0%)

Statistics are excellent.

20:05:45.937: [NVENC encoder: 'streaming_h264'] settings:
20:05:45.937: rate_control: CBR
20:05:45.937: bitrate: 4500

20:05:45.937: keyint: 60
20:05:45.937: preset: default
20:05:45.937: profile: main

20:05:45.937: 2-pass: true
20:05:45.937: b-frames: 2
20:05:45.937: GPU: 0

But since you're using NVEnc hardware encoder there's only a few knobs you can turn.

Change the preset to HQ (high quality) instead of default.

Other than that, you can try upping the bitrate to the Twitch-max of 6000 and/or increase the output resolution to 1440x810 or 1536x864.

for sure thanks, would it be bad to change fps output to 60? or because of hardware encoding no? Thanks for the help.

30 vs 60 is a tradeoff that's up to you to make. 60 looks more smooth in movement but 30 looks more sharp in image quality.
