Question / Help Youtube stream with obs may be somewhat skippy

I have
ROG Strix GL702ZC
and have paid 1600 bucks for it.I was expecting flawless streaming with the Ryzen 7 1700 and the RX580.
have my scenes Attila Total War and sources to capture any fullscreen application as I want 1920x1080 since that is my laptops recommended resolution.
Will not play any other.

below are my obs settings I have been tweaking around with it and some viewers have been complaining that it is poor quality and blurry and somewhat skippy here and there making it unwatchable....

I have changed the bicubic to bilinear....since I made this post.

at the very bottom are youtube livestreams to show my problems.I am still trying to figure out how to fix this.

3500 would be near the bottom of the acceptable bitrate for 1080p30.

For streaming using OBS you're almost always better off with an equivalent Nvidia card rather than AMD.

I'm not that familiar with the AMF encoder settings, but perhaps something other than "balanced" would give better stream quality under the Quality Preset setting?

I have my scene titles attila total war and my source is set as same and selected game capture....and specific fullscreen window...

I have been using cpu at first then i came across many videos about using gpu...

however im not sure if this obs is compatible with Ryzen cpus I have 16 threads...and this cpu is the desktop 65 watt multi-threaded beast....

so help me out here by watchign the videos and correcting me please.

If you have a Ryzen CPU you could try x264, the AMD AMF encoder is quite low quality in comparison.

I have tried balanced quality preset and am not sure if higher encoder settings will help or just balanced.
using gpu seems to work.but it slows down then speeds up and not sure if cpu choice will work..

With 8 cores you should be able to do veryfast, depends how demanding your game is. Also for youtube set your bitrate as high as your connection will allow.

I just had a Clock_watchdog_timeout BSOD while doing obs streaming to youtube.

keep in mind I was using the h264/avc encoder option.

I tried earlier the cpu option and tried veryfast,superfast and ultrafast and it seemed to have skip more than the gpu render option...I do not know how to go about finding the best optimized setting for my Laptop...Both CPU and GPU is powerful.

I read that this model from amd was rated for perfect livestreaming online...

what I dont know is was it rated for wired ethernet connections?
or wifi connections?wireless?

with that being said,is 400mbps good?wifi?wireless?

this page has the test results using OBS and PubG streaming among other games performance as well.

what I cannot figure out is why am I getting skips and hiccups.

I noticed the OBS software is using DirectX 11 and am thinking that is the problem...My system is Vulkan and Direct X 12 supported and run games wayyyy better than Direct x 11...

one question ?why is OBS not updating the Driver support yet?why are they behind?

8 cores?
I have 16 threads.....you mean not 8 cores ,but 16 threads???anyway,yes,my cpu can do the workload although I tried it to little or no affect.

I will try veryfast first,but wouldnt the Ryzen 7 1700 be able to handle super and ultra?and would that along with quality preset be ideal?
