without streaming no ping spikes, when streaming weird ping spikes (looks like game and stream compete against each other with the bitrate)

any fix? pls help :(

after using enable network optimizations and tcp pacing it looks better less bigger spikes and most of the time spikes with a maximum of 8-15 higher ping and almost not noticable (but does tcp and network opt. decrease quality?)

TCP pacing is designed for exactly this situation - it will try to reduce the latency impact of keyframes (usually every 2 seconds) by spreading the data over a longer duration. It does not affect quality.

okay so right now tcp is the best thing i could rely on?

Yup. Another alternative is to get a router that supports AQM / QOS (preferably fq_codel or CAKE) as that will limit queuing on your upstream.
