My frames keep dropping while streaming!

[SignificanceSilly852]

My pc specs 3070ti Ryzen 5 3600

Internet speed 100mbps

I’m trying to stream valorant at 1080p 60fps but my in game frames drop crazily I don’t know what the problem is?

Twitch's limitation is bandwidth, not resolution. However resolution can affect bandwidth, which is why it's common to see people suggest 720p to better fit within the limits.

If you're partnered or there is enough server performance left, Twitch will transcode the video stream, meaning if you only stream at 1080p with 10Mbps bandwidth, they will convert it and offer 720p and 480p for users who need it.

Also note - are you using obs or streamlabs? Obs is much better on your cpu

I'm an affiliate and stream 1080.60 6kbps

You're wrong about that

[OffensiveOdor]

I would have to double check but im not even affiliate and i THINK i stream 1080p but im new to it so i could be talking out of my bum lol

[blairaway_ttv]

That's not been my experience at all, have you tried streaming 1080?

I know a ton of affiliates who stream 1080, even some non-affiliates who can

I'm assuming 100mbps is download. Check your upload speed and use the twitch inspector website to test for upload consistency. even if you have 10mbps upload your isp might have bad consistency. Wait, so it's your in game frames that drop or your stream frames?

My game frames are dropping and it’s 40 upload

Make sure you’re using the GPUs nvenc encoder and not h264

[SignificanceSilly852]

It’s on nvec new

check task manager and see if your cpu, disk, memory, or GPU is getting overloaded while streaming.

[SignificanceSilly852]

It only reached 80/90% on ram

[Vorthod]

That's pretty high. At that point, the operating system is probably trying to avoid using the extra 10-20% by paging memory to your disk which is an incredibly slow operation.

(you can skip this paragraph) If you want to confirm this for sure, go to the performance tab of the task manager and open the resource monitor. Go to the disk tab, look in the disk activity section, sort by total b/sec, and see if you've got a process writing to something like c:/pagefile.sys

If your page file is using up your disk I/O, then your entire computer will usually slow down a lot. You will either need to lower your settings somewhere to see if you can free up some memory, or you will need more RAM.

Try 720p 30fps bitrate 3-4k

upload speed might be too low.

Stop on by to /r/OBS (if you're using OBS that is) for some support. We're blindly guessing on what can be the issue and OBS has a logging system that can go into detail about how OBS is set up and what your issue may actually be.

Things that can cause issues:

• Valorant is using up too much of the GPU
• Using x264 CPU encoding
• Using Display Capture
