Question / Help Video stutter with game capture - please help!

[Scorpion313]

Hello all, I am a fairly new streamer and just upgraded my PC and have been trying to get more heavily in to serious streaming. The main game that I stream is Star Citizen and while usually everything is fine, in Arena Commander or Star Marine and the Hangar Module I get some pretty heavy video and stream stutter. I get well over 60FPS in all 3 which I thought maybe would require me to set my FPS in OBS to 60 but though this slows the stutter it still doesn't correct it. I'm just looking for some guidance and advice on this so that my streams can be clear all the time :) . Tonight I put my bandwidth at 3500 at 1080p with the fps set at 60 though I knew it wouldn't reach that on stream. Just was trying what I could to smooth things out.

Here's a clip to show the stutter, it's not horrible in this one but still noticeable whereas in game everything is butter smooth: https://clips.twitch.tv/scorpion313/VivaciousFlamingoShibeZ

Don't stream in 1080p getting resonable compression at 1080p is not possible even on beast CPUs. Streams look much better in 720p.

Also if you try capping your framerate (with something like VSync) that might solve the problem.

Awesome, thank you so much for the help! I'm starting a stream now so I'll put it on 720p with the Lanzcros filter and lock OBS and game at 60fps. Hopefully that'll do the trick.
