Question / Help Streaming with an 1440p monitor to twitch 1080p or 720p

[pprwd]

Hey together!

I am countering a problem for days and I do not know how to fix it. I tested nearly every possible setup for OBS, you can Imagine.

To specify, my rig:

Ryzen 2700X 3,8Ghz clocked
16GB G.Skill DDR4 3200Mhz Trident RAM
Asus Prime 470 Pro Motherboard
Samsung Evo 970 M.2 SSD
KFA2 Geforce 1060GTX OC 6GB Edition

50k Downstream, 10k Upstream DSL Broadband Internet Connection, about 8,5+ MB/s stable Upload.

I just want to stream APEX Legends in 1080p or 720p with the same rig but whatever setting i choose, the ingame is fine (no stutter, fps drop or whatever) but the Stream on Twitch is lagging. I am not a Partner or Affiliate.

Ive used bitrates from 4000-6500. Used downscaling from native (2560x1440 to 1920x1080 or 1280x720) or 1920x1080 with rescaling the canvas. I used the lancozs and bicubic option and thousand others.

I really do not know why this is going to happen and i Hope you guys can help me.

Best regards!

The amazingly bad Windows 10 game Mode

Windows Game mode does exactly what it is supposed to do, and it becomes better and better with that: prioritizing a running game over everything else. That's perfect for 99% of all the gamers and exactly what they need. No stealing of CPU cycles of a browser running invisible in the background, no virus scan running in the background, no Windows update running in the background.

The remaining 1% of the gamers are streaming or recording with a 3rd party app and have to disable game mode to get their streaming/recording app up and running. They still have to watch for background processes (not) stealing CPU and hard disk bandwidth as it was necessary for everyone before the introduction of Game Mode. It's only this 1% of the gamers you are seeing here posting all these "I have lags" threads. For everyone else Game Mode is fine.
