streaming

[SzaboAttila]

Hello, can I stream R6 siege and Fortnite with my pc at least 720p 30fps? According to speedtest.net I have 12Mb/s download and 2Mb/s upload speed (actually its 1.2Mb/s and 1-1.5Mb/s)

My pc: CPU(AMD Ryzen 5 1600), MOBO(MSI B450M Bazooka), RAM(DDR4 2x8GB 2666MHz Kingston Fury Black), STORAGE(120GB WD Green SSD , 1TB WD Blue HDD), GPU(MSI GTX 1070 armor), PSU(Antec Earthwatts pro 750 gold), CASE(Nzxt h400i)

On the hardware side, yes.

On the internet connection side... better turn the bitrate down

[Skiiwee29]

Not with that internet connection. You would be lucky to be able to stream at 360p and maintain connection to both twitch/YT and the game.

As the others said, you can, your system is capable. It's your Connection which is letting you down unfortunately..

[LogicalDrm]

You need minimum 2mbps stable upload for normal quality 720p.

It may be possible to do 720p 30 FPS at low bitrate with okay-ish quality using custom h264 settings.

 

The settings posted here are rock solid and definitely better than the default presets for h264

For a R5 1600, I'd suggest starting with D and upping the bframes to 2 and ref to 2.

I spent 2days to configure obs, but I cant find these settings

Are you using OBS Studio, or OBS Streamlabs?

 

Regardless, in your output settings you need to enable advanced encoder settings. There, you'll see something like this

 

 

In that box, insert this

 

8x8dct=1 aq-mode=2 b-adapt=2 bframes=2 chroma-qp-offset=2 colormatrix=smpte170m deblock=0:0 direct=auto ipratio=1.41 keyint=240 level=3.1 me=umh merange=16 min-keyint=auto mixed-refs=1 no-mbtree=0 partitions=all profile=high psy-rd=0.5:0.0 qcomp=0.6 qpmax=51 qpmin=10 qpstep=4 ratetol=10 rc-lookahead=30 ref=2 scenecut=40 subme=8 threads=0 trellis=2 weightb=1 weightp=2

Hardware, sure. Internet, nope. You need to see if your ISP offers a package with faster upload in your area if you want to stream decently. Otherwise you'll be turning your bitrate down a lot for 720p, making it look blocky / pixelated, or streaming at 360p instead.

I just did some testing on my end. Here's what I was able to do with 720p/30fps at 1000kbps

 

(Remember, dropbox recompresses videos in the player. To view the actual quality, download the flv and play it in VLC)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/bmqalmg3jugi7ua/2018-12-29 18-44-59.flv?dl=0

 

That is with these settings on a 3.8GHz 6850k, which should be comparable with your R5 1600 with a little overclocking. You can see my CPU usage in the OSD.

 

8x8dct=1 aq-mode=2 b-adapt=2 bframes=3 chroma-qp-offset=2 colormatrix=smpte170m deblock=0:0 direct=auto ipratio=1.41 keyint=240 level=3.1 me=umh merange=16 min-keyint=auto mixed-refs=1 no-mbtree=0 partitions=all profile=high psy-rd=0.5:0.0 qcomp=0.6 qpmax=51 qpmin=10 qpstep=4 ratetol=10 rc-lookahead=30 ref=3 scenecut=40 subme=10 threads=0 trellis=2 weightb=1 weightp=2

Making use of the deblock command might help smooth things out a bit. But IMHO, the quality here is pretty reasonable considering the limited bitrate. The real question is can your connection support a constant 1000kbps?

Doing some more testing, this time on Fortnite

 

https://www.dropbox.com/s/zylsnrwqqvhqdq1/2018-12-29 20-30-45.flv?dl=0

 

Again, download and play in VLC to view the full quality

 

I've found that my earlier settings posted above hits the CPU a touch too hard in Fortnite IMO. I wasn't dropping frames, but the CPU usage was going up to 90%, which is nearing dropped frames territory. Lowering the ref and bframes both to 2 lowered the CPU usage to a more acceptable level. Also, using Lanczos resizing and 3:3 deblocking cleaned up the image quite a bit.

 

Here are the settings I used for testing Fortnite at 1000kbps.

8x8dct=1 aq-mode=2 b-adapt=2 bframes=2 chroma-qp-offset=2 colormatrix=smpte170m deblock=3:3 direct=auto ipratio=1.41 keyint=240 level=3.1 me=umh merange=16 min-keyint=auto mixed-refs=1 no-mbtree=0 partitions=all profile=high psy-rd=0.5:0.0 qcomp=0.6 qpmax=51 qpmin=10 qpstep=4 ratetol=10 rc-lookahead=30 ref=2 scenecut=40 subme=10 threads=0 trellis=2 weightb=1 weightp=2

Thank you so much, and have a nice new year
