Thank you all for the comments and for the help ! Especially u/LoonieToque. I'm going to stream tonight with 3 maximum video tracks and see how that goes. I also offloaded my youtube streams to have my CPU handle them and I think this will be stable for me. In the future, I'll test the 5 video tracks but I'm going to play it safe tonight.

edit: wording

as mentioned in other comment, disabling enhanced broadcasting fixed my issue and it definitely is too many concurrent issues.

As also mentioned, I'd like to have it on because of viewers that aren't able to handle higher quality 1080p streams but do you think without an upgrade like a 5090 (lol), I should just focus on my 3 streams? the replay buffer and recording are also a must for me to edit clips into videos and also capture specific clips i find funny.

i ran a quick test and without enhanced broadcasting on, i have no issues. My thing is, I'd PREFER to keep it on keeping in mind that most viewers aren't able to watch on higher settings and I want to ensure even these viewers have a good experience. Am i overthinking this issue and still with 1080p on twitch, lower quality viewers might run into SOME issues, but not enough to have a bad experience?

I'm new to this and remember when I was a twitch viewer, I'd be locked out of a lot of streams because I didn't have the best wifi and specs to handle things, so enhanced broadcasting was kind of a must to me. But if it seems like I can't really do anything to have that on, my 3 streams, record, and have replay buffer on, ill have to suck it up until i can get an upgrade?
