Very High Power usage while streming

Your LAN looks OK, you're using ethernet connected @ 1G, nothing to see here. Your problems appear to be between you & the CDN. Perhaps not enough bandwidth to support the stream to start or something else in the path.

I have usually 45/50 mbps on download and 20 in upload 15ping

Are my setting good for this, in streming?

Problem happen only with Space Marine 2 and Dragon's Dogma 2 for now. With other games go perfectly fine. And I can run thos 2 game on ultra with no problem without OBS.

What I have to change, or do, in OBS or somwhere else to improve this? What error is present and how I fix it?

Clearly flunking the upload test. Anybody else on that account sucking up bandwidth?

Your encoded bit-rate is already too low for 1080p/60fps. You can try enabling Dynamic Bit-rate or lower the resolution/bit-rate.

No for what I know. I'm the only user.

So instead of 4500 bitrate I need to lower it?

My resolution is 1440p instead of downscaling it to 1080p its better to make it the same 1440?

Your system was overloaded. As far as your dropped frames are concerned, probably something with your internet provider but that's something you need to determine.

A new log is needed.

Ye, I know...
For base and exit resolution it's better to have the same? Without downscaling?!

Yes. You'll be able to record 2k. Use the downscale on the streaming output. 1080p or even 720p if necessary. 4500kbps > is 720p territory.

Yes. But it's better 1440p and output at 1440p? Without downscaling it?
And what bitrate it's better with 1440p 20 mbps on upload?

I made a test streaming without going live with twitch ispector, here's the log.
It seems better, but still dropping frame after a few minutes.

That seems better? Rendering lag went from nothing in the last log to through the roof, GPU is overloaded, again. On the bright side there was no dropped frames but your stream must look like shit. I already told you that 4500kbps is 720p territory,

10:20:46.413: Output 'adv_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 71780 (74.7%)
10:20:46.413: Output 'adv_stream': Reconnecting in 1.00 seconds..
10:20:51.047: Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 68676/92925 (73.9%)
10:20:53.924: warning: 2 frames left in the queue on closing
10:31:53.831: adding 21 milliseconds of audio buffering, total audio buffering is now 21 milliseconds (source: Webcam)

The non-zero errors didn't show up in previous logs but you should check for a driver update for your LAN, the installed driver is stale. These errors are caused by EEE settings, the new driver will correct it.

"4500kbps is 720p territory" instead of repeting that can you please tell me wich bitrate is better?! 1440p = ???? 1080p = ????
This time it doesen't freeze at least.

I repeat...I have no idea what those error are and how to fix them, that's why I'm here. Ok, you show me them, but I have no clue what those are, and where to watch to correct them.

Next test, stream 720p & change the Multipass setting to qres. Fullres is not recommended for real time encoding. You need to read
the encoding troubleshooting guide or you can start at the beginning of this thread.

Yes, installed thanks.
Also the audio.

So I need to set base (and output) res at 720p!? and 4500 bitrate!?
More br is more quality, right!?
But for example for 1440p i bust go liek 6k or more br?! Correct?

Qres is...? "Translated" from Italian: single passage, 2 passage 1/4, and 2 pass full res (the one I use now)
I assume is the 1/4!?

Also, Avast can slow it down? Better use only Windows security!?

I'll test it again tomorrow.

No Base Res & Output Res @ 2k. Downscale to 720p on the Streaming Output.

qres = 2 pass 1/4

Yep, Avast may be mucking up the works. I only use Defender.

I stream 1080p @ a minimum of 8000kpbs

Don't do 2k but I would start at 12000kbps

Am I doing right!?

If yes, in "rescale the output" its better: Bilinear, Area, Bicubic 16 or Lanczos 32?

And also more bitrate?
