Hello everyone. I try to stream some different games in 720p, but the whole streaming experience isn't as fluid as i wish it would be. There is some kind of consistent lag and i think it's caused by my cpu, because no matter what graphic settings i use it still has those lags, but im not sure.

my specs:
cpu: amd phenom II x4 955 be (4x3,2ghz) + Notcua NH-U12P
gpu: zotac geforce gtx 480 amp!
ram: 8GB ddr3 1333mhz ram (4x2gb ram)
mainboard: Asus M4A785TD-V evo
power supply: bqt e7 550w be quiet!

networking:
Downstream: 100Mbps
Upstream: 5Mbps

settings:
bitrate @ 4000kbps
preset superfast
Framerate 30FPS
disabled aero theme

tests:
-the dpc latency checker was green all the time (no network limitation?)
-open hardware monitor shows that my temps are okay.
-i don't have any autoruns at systemstart, no wonder since i freshly formatted my computer


2 minute example video:
http://www.twitch.tv/b0ne91/b/455805519

If my cpu turns out to be the bottlenecking part, i wan't to upgrade to a amd FX-8320 or a intel Xeon 1230v3

testmy.net says
Download :: 5.8 Mbps 723 kB/s up arrow Upload :: 1.3 Mbps
Click to expand...
but speedtest.net says
102.99mbps download and 4.99mbps upload
Click to expand...

so ill guess i dont have such a good server connection to testmy.net?

Here is my OBS log:

you probably didnt chose a server close to you ...

whatsoever logwise it looks fine to me decent rander times no late real late frames no dropped frames so its pretty weird.

do you have the lag also on your latest recordings when you were streaming? or only when you try to watch your own stream? or are actually the viewer telling you that your streams laggy?



i just watched both your vod's you posted and there wasnt a single lagg.

so i assume your viewers told you that its lagging. since you are from germany all i can suggest is changing to either NL or UK twitch servers and also drop your bitrate to between 2000-3000 since you dont really need that much for a really crisp picture on 720@30

I have chosen Frankfurt germany as a server, which is the nearest server with the best connection that i could choose from.
The thing was, i couldn't stream smooth with obs or xsplit, but with obs i had some serious lags (1-2 sec freezes) too. I never watch my own stream, just my recordings on twitch afterwards. My friends are telling me that my stream looks fine, but if its just like in the replays I really want to improve it. Do you think a better cpu could make my stream look really smooth or won't this help at all and the problem is to be found somewhere else??

€: if you want you could come into my stream @ http://de.twitch.tv/b0ne91 and tell me your honest opinion about the quality

i already told you ... on the recordings there wasnt a single lagg or anything else stream runs perfectly smooth for an 30fps stream


all you can do is drop your bitrate to 2000-3000 so the twitch servers dont get complete shit

Yes i know, but lagging like small freezes wasn't my actual problem. I actually wanted to improve my stream quality by making it really smooth looking. I wouldn't call it lag but rather a framerate thats too low.

Since my cpu is kinda old and weak by now, i thought that buying a better one will make my stream more smooth

btw. i have my bitrate at 3000 now

well depends on how high your cpu usage is while playing and streaming in high motion scenes ... you should be able to stream with 720@48 settings and still be fine at least on games like rogue lagacy

http://www.testmy.net is good for testing sustained bandwidth. The other one takes burst into account. For streaming, you need sustained. So as far as OBS is concerned, you have 1.3 Mb/s upload. That's not a whole lot. You could probably downscale to 720x480 or something like that. Which is fine, a lot of people stream at that. But you're not going to compete video quality-wise with the people streaming at 720p or 1080p. Its just not possible.

I heard the Frankfurt Twitch server is a bad. If its not their fault, and instead the fault of the internet around Frankfurt, maybe it affects the http://www.testmy.net Frankfurt server as well. You might test with other nearby http://www.testmy.net servers and see if you get better results.

he obviously chose the wrong server also his log shows no dropped frames so your arguement is invalid boildown :(

he probably just did a test to texas servers instead to the amsterdam server

the question is still left open ... did you or did you not change the server on testmy.net ? since theres only one option to chose as european for an legit result which would be Testing Amsterdam, NL / Europe

He tested to Dallas. Please, bone91... make sure to test to Amsterdam while running a test on testmy.net. At the top of the testmy.net page you will find an option to pick a different test server. Amsterdam is the one you want to pick.

but as i already said .... it doesnt matter your log doesnt show dropped frames its actually the twitch servers being shit the last couple of weeks

so all you can really do is find a sweetspot between 2000-3000 bitrate and hope your stream doesnt have the little lags (while the sound conitnues) since your recordings are fine without a single stutter or anything else.

in case of smooth streaming you could try changing to 48 fps instead of 30 and take a look at your cpu usage while streaming and playing

As Twitch currently is somewhat unreliable in Europe during the evening hours, you could also consider just doing local recordings to test settings related to quality and FPS.
