I am using Verizon 5G for internet, which is really stable at about 300 megabytes per second. My graphics card is an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060. I have a lot of RAM (64 gigabytes) and a powerful CPU made by Intel with the i9-12900K chip that runs at 3.19 GHz speed. But I'm having a weird problem. One monitor is used for playing games like WoW, but no other problems happen there. The game feels fast and looks fine on it. However, when I use my second monitor to watch videos or play sports live, the video gets choppy and drops frames at times. It also shows lower quality. I thought I had turned off all graphics optimization in my settings, but I still have trouble with that stream. Is this a problem with my GPU? Thanks for taking a look!

Got you a round trip on the internet that's pretty even, like 300 megabytes coming in and going out at the same speed?

No, it's slow at 18 milliseconds and shows 310 down while moving 19.64 up. Does this make a difference?

So your internet plan is 300D/20U. When you're gaming, you mostly use the download speed and just a little bit of upload speed, but when you stream, you mainly use the upload part. To live stream in 1080p at 60fps, you need a steady 10 to 15 Mbps upload connection.

oh, thanks. Can we just change providers instead of doing something else?
