Hello I've recently upgraded my computer and before i could stream with 0 problems with CBR enabled.
But now when i use CBR, and even when i dont use it, i drop frames from the get go.
Things ive done include: finding the ping to the twitch tv servers closest to me, reinstalling OBS and streaming at lower qualities. all seem to have no effect on this.
The preferred stream settings i'm trying to get here are 720p with 1.5 downscale.

this was my speedtest result while streaming just recently. and while not streaming it goes up to 17 up.

do an upload test on www.testmy.net

but i can already tell you that you have to lower your bitrate quite a bit since you are dropping a bunch of frames

anyway its not really recommended to get even close to a 4000bitrate usually stay around 3000-3500 lately its more like 2000-2500 since twitch is having a lot probelms for non partnered streamers

I recommend trying other servers, even if they aren't the closest to you. Sometimes a server will have a bad day, or be overloaded during peak times. I will second alpinlol in saying that 4000 bitrate is generally excessive for high quality 720p60fps.

Do note that you no longer need to set "keyint=120" in custom x264 parameters anymore. Just above that setting you can set the keyframe interval in seconds. (your syntax was wrong anyway)
