First time streamer here, and I have a few issues with my initial stream testing.
I streamed Path of Exile and everything was perfectly fine except 2 issues. Firstly, although my in-game FPS is always 60 (v-sync), it dropped to flat 30 while streaming. Now, this wasn't your sudden FPS drops associated with straining your CPU and/or GPU. It was a constant, flat 30 FPS, as if the fact that I was streaming somehow limited the FPS to 30. I did set the OBS encoder to stream 720p @30 FPS, but that should not change my in-game FPS, right?
Secondly, although I have a 5Mbps upload link, and the max bitrate is set to 3300, my latency changes from a stable 48 to 60 with spikes up to 120. How can it be possible that a 20M download/5M upload link isn't enough to stream in 720p and not have an in-game lag? I used to play Path of Exile with a 0.5M upload link with a stable latency (without streaming, ofc). Is it possible that 4.5M isn't enough to stream at 720p?
Thanks a lot!
