Hello.
First of all this might very likely not be an OBS issue at all but i still hope to find some help here since people around these forums might actually know enough about networking stuff to find or know a solution to the problem i'm having.
To explain this in a simple way..
I have a 120down/6up cable internet connection. Got an i5-4460, and GTX970 and 8GB RAM.
I am trying to stream mainly CS:GO when it comes to my issue, my native resolution is 1680x1050, my stream settings are downscaled to 1.50 (1120x700) at 30FPS and my issue consists over all of the available encoding options, x264, quick sync or NVENC with their respective standard settings.
I've let the bitrate out because this part is crucial to my issues...
Like i said, i've got a 6up connection. I am not an expert, but i should theoretically be able to go to a 3k bitrate (even if it's probably not reccomended) without having any ingame issues, shouldn't i? I had a 2k up connection a while back and was able to play CS:GO easily. Now setting up a bitrate of 3k should leave me at least the pendant to a 2.5k up connection for the game - right? Even if that wasn't the case, i should still be able to stream decently even with only 2k bitrate set up...
Fact is though, as soon as i go 2k bitrate or anything higher, i have heavy issues ingame, and i'm talking about lag issues not performance wise. My ping goes up, while being 15-20 when not streaming it goes as high as 40 at least, which might be even logical and not a problem in itself, but the real issues ingame are hiccups while banging a full magazine as example, or animation loops or, well basically simple lags or "spikes".
In my opinion this shouldn't happen at all. Now i have no idea what's causing this, and i've been trying to find out for the past week. This thread is basically my last hope.
I've found things about relatively similar issues, people with someone in their network using something like netflix which leads to them getting a highping ingame, which can be fixed by using QoS rules in windows or the router. I've tried setting up QoS rules in my windows but that did nothing. Tried the QoS engine that my router allows which helps a bit but not enough in the end, and also somehow limits my whole bandwith to 70-ish down, which is pretty weird.
Like i said, this is very likely not a direct OBS issue but rather something in either my windows settings or my internet connection - but i am hoping to find out more about this problem and to see if people had similar problems and fixed them somehow? Maybe this problem is normal and everyone's streaming like this and i'm just a dumbass? That's what i'm trying to fid out.
Thanks!
