Question When i am streaming my games feels laggy

[gtx0102]

So i usually stream from morning to night and when i am streaming my games feel more laggy than usualy. I cap my FPS at 160. I can go up to 240 but i don't need it so i cap it at 160. So when i stream and when i don't i get 160 always but still my games feel laggy. Especially Fortnite.

Method 1 : Increasing FPS and Performance

1. Make sure no other programs are running while you're playing. If you have programs like iTunes or a torrent program running in the background, they could be eating up precious system resources.
   • Check your system tray for programs that may be running in the background.
2. Update your graphics card drivers

3. Lower your in-game settings.
4. Perform virus and malware scans

Method 2 : Reducing Ping

1. Select game servers closer to you. Many games have the option to either browse through available servers or set your matchmaking region. Selecting a location close to you is the absolute most effective way to decrease your ping.
2. Close any network-hogging programs on your computer. Before playing your online game, make sure any bandwidth-chugging programs are closed. Torrents, streaming music, and open browsers can all have a big impact on your in-game lag. Close these programs before starting your game. Look in the System Tray for programs that may be running in the background.

3. Check if there are any other devices on your network taking bandwidth

4. Connect your computer or game console to your router via Ethernet. If your computer or video game console is connected to your network wirelessly, you may experience worse performance in-game. If your network setup allows it, try to run an Ethernet cable from your computer's Ethernet port to an open LAN port on your router.
   
   
5. Check for malware on your computer. If you have a virus or adware infection, background processes may be eating up a lot of your bandwidth and processing power. Make sure your antivirus program is up to date, and run scans with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and AdwCleaner (both free) to find and remove most common infections.

6. Upgrade your router if you haven't in a while. If you're connected wirelessly and you haven't upgraded your router in a few years, you may be able to get a much more stable connection with a new router. See Choose a Wireless Router for some tips on finding the right router. Look for routers with QoS controls, which can help prioritize gaming traffic on your network.

7. Check for available internet upgrades. This is a bit of an extreme step, but you may be able to find a good deal on a major speed upgrade. If you haven't checked prices in a while, you may find that you're paying the same amount as a faster package.

8. Reset your network hardware. If you're noticing worse lag than usual, resetting your network hardware may solve the problem. This will disable your network for a short while, so close your game first and make sure you're not interrupting anyone else:
   • Remove the power cable from your modem and from your router, if you have a separate one.
   • Let your network hardware rest unplugged for about 30 seconds.
   • Plug your modem back in and wait for it to boot up. This could take a minute or two.
   • Plug your router back in after the modem finishes turning on, if you have one. The router may take an additional minute or two to turn back on.

The Fortnite game is a heavy game and can burn a PC. My kid played with Asus GTX750ti and Debian testing Xfce for years. Then my kid installed win10 and the Fortnite game. I needed to make 10x10 hole to the front of the old AT case and put the back fan under the GPU. Otherwise the gpu was running too hot and rebooted win10 when playing the Fortnite game .
