Trying to Dial in the best OBS recording settings..
Heya!
I believe I actually have a very similar CPU/GPU setup (7800X3D + 4090) , so I can chime in with my experience.
I don't record tarkov, but I think you're recording settings you have are starting to get very resource intensive for a small quality benefit that you might not even be able to visually discern.
If I were to make a recommendation on a direction to take.
Encoder -> AV1 or HEVC
CBR 100,000 -> CQP 18-20
P7 -> P2-4
I'm giving a range incase you want to finetune accordingly.
Some insight on some of my reccomendations. AV1/HEVC are both better encoders than H264 at this point.
The way I've explained CQP to people is that it's a "quality standard" to hit. So it'll adjust the bitrate based on what's happening in the frame at that point in time. (i.e. more action heavy scenes will ask for more bits while standing still will ask for less).
P7 is a VERY resource intensive tier to run in comparison to the others. Since CQP would be covering a lot more of the quality control, you can afford to knock down the P value. I normally do P2 myself

First XLR Mic, having trouble fine tuning filters.
but there are resrouces that go more in depth over things like EQ and such

I've been using Addie's playlist for a while myself! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzo7l8HTJNK8VG3tVDb4vX7CS7Up49gdC
It's a good place to get started

YouTube bitrate dropping to 160 kb/s while streaming.
At least until I can call my ISP, but personal life is in the way at the moment

YouTube bitrate dropping to 160 kb/s while streaming.
Ok I'm sorry for the spaced updates, but because I record and Stream to 2 places. AV1 is the only encoder that's currently operating with the load im putting on the PC. To be honest I'm not entirely sure why, I've tried
Twitch - Always H264
YT - HEVC
Record - HEVC
YT - AV1
Record - HEVC
YT - HEVC
Record - AV1
and I've just ran into Encoder overloading in both cases, so I have to use AV1 for both if I stream to 2 spots and record. So unless if I use something like Restream I might be SOL on this issue for the time being.

YouTube bitrate dropping to 160 kb/s while streaming.
Update to the update
1. Looking more like I gotta talk to my ISP to see what's up? Everywhere online I looked pointed to either AV1 or my network stability to YT being the issue. So I'll call them when I have a moment two, probably Friday.
2. Swapping to HEVC was a lot more work than I thought for me, might need some assistance in delegating everything correctly.
(Pretty sure doing HEVC streaming to YT, AV1 recording, and H264 streaming to Twitch altogether was a bad idea, but when I swapped any of them to x264, i still get encoding overload, so I don't think I can do HEVC + AV1 together, they both have to be the same one?)
3. I could just start purely streaming to 1 platform till I can resolve this but that's a bit of a demotivator lol, but not sure where else i can trouble shoot for now
Edit - totally forgot about other multistreaming alternatives

YouTube bitrate dropping to 160 kb/s while streaming.
Update -
Unfortuantely making it IPv4 didn't fix the issue. It was super weird because I know I've tried a few things that were on the troubleshooting list.
1. Changing the bitrate doesn't change the drop at all. Once it drops to 160 kb/s it'll remain at that rate for the rest of the stream. It still occurs completely at random, so I can't really predict when it'll happen, just if it'll happen.
2. I'm more likely to think that it's my connection to YT that's messed up but I'm not quite sure why? Thinking about quickly seeing router settings later.
3. I wasn't able to test swapping encoders yet because I have to rethink my whole multistreaming setup lol. I stream 4k to YT, 720p to Twitch, and record in 4k. Whenever I tried to switch YouTube to HEVC for ex, it would start overloading my encoder. (I'll see if i have an OBS log of what I mean).

Yeah I'm gonna give HEVC a go instead, and if that's no good then I might have to call my ISP tomorrow.

Log of Yesterday's Stream when it happened last, I'm also checking other streams that it occured to see if there's any similarities.
