Greetings, regarding my OBS setup, I’m currently utilizing: Output – Encoder NVENC H.264; Rate Control - Constant Bitrate (CBR); Bitrate: 23000 (this has been my most effective setting at present, though it still exhibits some lag with 45 frames per second); Other options are set to their defaults. I’ve successfully resolved OBS and game performance issues by achieving a maximum frame rate of 60 fps. I’m somewhat uncertain about determining the optimal bitrate, considering my upload speed is 170Mb and download speed is 300Mb according to Ookla Speedtest. My hardware specifications are as follows: CPU: Skylake i5 3570k, running at 3.4 to 3.8 GHz; GPU: GTX 1050 with 2 GB of VRAM; RAM: 16 GB DDR3. While my system isn't top-tier, it allows for playing games at 60 fps on high or maximum settings. 😄 Thank you in advance!

Video compression demands a powerful processor; an i5-3570 won't suffice for satisfactory recording and streaming during gameplay. Consider an i5-8400 from Intel, or a Ryzen 1700X/2600 from AMD, as minimum specifications.

I understand that I can also capture audio with this device, but I require a specific bitrate for the recording.
