Question / Help More in-game Latency using OBS than Xsplit?

So I am trying to stream despite having terrible upload 1.5 Mb/s (max) and I have both paid xsplit from when I used to have good upload and Obs. I am using the exact same settings on both OBS and X-split bitrate/buffer at 1100, quality 8, audio at 128kbs, 720p, 30 fps. And with OBS, I get a lot more ping than I do with x-split. I'm playing Starcraft 2, and that ping makes it basically impossible to stream cause its fairly inconsistent and makes it hard to micro etc. Now, I'm not dropping frames with either OBS or X-split so I'm wondering why this is happening, I can provide some videos of using both software if it helps...

The only improvement I have in using OBS over X-split is that x-split makes the game a little bit choppier but it mostly stays at 60 fps, sometimes it'll go down a bit but it's definitely not as bad as the latency I get from streaming with OBS.

If you can avoid it at all, I recommend not using Monitor capture. It is by far the slowest way to capture (even though you correctly have Aero disabled). Have you tried Game Capture instead?

You are streaming kind of close to your max upload rate, which could cause your game to not be able to communicate as well. Try dropping your bit rate down to 1000 and enable the Minimize Network Impact setting.
