Best Practices & OBS Optimization

Essential recommendations to optimize OBS Studio performance, avoid frame drops, and guarantee a silky smooth 60 FPS broadcast.

Top Performance Tips

1. Run OBS as Administrator: Right-click OBS Studio and select Run as administrator. This grants OBS top GPU priority in Windows.
2. Use Hardware NVENC: In OBS Output settings, select NVIDIA NVENC H.264 encoder rather than x264 (CPU) encoding.
3. Disable Unused Scenes: Deactivate heavy video background loops when not on air.
4. Wired LAN Connection: Always use an Ethernet cable rather than Wi-Fi for stable stream bitrate.
