Anyone have experience with this? i have gtx780. 4MB upload so i set my bitrate to 3400. only getting 20-30 FPS in game while streaming vs 120 when not. Am i doing something wrong or is this what i should expect witha 780? Im using OBS.

Way too much. 2000 would be plenty for 720p 30fps.

well i went fullscreen instead of full screen windowed and shot up from 30 to 160, however the game froze up so i havent tested it while playing yet. hoping that was the issue.

Try using shadowplay instead. It puts the work on the GPU. Check your CPU usage while using OBS. It's probably putting a high load on your CPU, which is becoming the bottleneck in rendering frames in the game. Shadowplay accesses the on-GPU NVENC API for H.264 encoding.

One issue I had was when I went to fullscreen the game froze up but you could still hear the audio and the curser was still moving around.

IDK what the deal is but h1z1 gets stuck on a loading screen every time i try to play now. heroes of the storm still works fine and frames are better. i was trying to do 1080. since i dropped the quality to 720 i maintain 30. ill look into shadwoplay tomorrow but i know i could never get it to work in regards to recording the last minute or two whenever i press the hot key i set for it.

When you stream on twitch the goal is for people to watch. I stream everyday. I have been for 2 years. 3400 is way to high. It was one of my initial mistakes as well a lot of viewers are on phone or don't have great internet can't watch at that high of a bit rate. 2500 should be the max. I stream at 2100.

You absolutely do not need to stream at 3400.

Anything above 1000 is fine enough.. 1500 to 2000 is absolutely fine.

It helps to have a beastly CPU to be playing and streaming at the same time..
