I have two systems at home, one for gaming and another from my brother that I plan to convert into a streaming setup. Recently I set up the second PC to mirror the main system's screen using Streamlabs OBS, but during live streams it keeps dropping frames. I’m curious if the difference in output speeds—main PC showing 150 Mbps while the second only reaches 100 Mbps—is contributing to this issue. Since I don’t have a capture card yet, screen captures are handled via NDI software. I’ll experiment with bitrate settings to see if that affects frame stability.
The second PC had a wired link? Possibly you should verify its network settings if it operates at 100Mb/s instead of Gigabit. That could account for the speed variation. If applicable, examine the cable (budget older ones can work with just four wires). Also, switch to a different cable to see if performance changes.
Both setups use a physical cable. It might be worth swapping it out since it's a Cat5e connection.
Your mainboard could be limiting performance, possibly due to a slow controller capped at 100mbps.
It seems the connection isn't the issue—probably your stream is around 10Mbps or less.
The network contains a specific model router along with various accessories. The cables used connect to this router, typically Cat5 or Cat5e.
It could really be the worst if that's the actual problem. Still checking the board online.
