There's no best settings for a certain cpu really. It depends. 

What GPU do you have ? You can use nvec if you have a Turing card with little to no performance hit. 

PC: Motherboard: ASUS B550M TUF-Plus, CPU: Ryzen 3 3100, CPU Cooler: Arctic Freezer 34, GPU: GIGABYTE WindForce GTX1650S, RAM: HyperX Fury RGB 2x8GB 3200 CL16, Case, CoolerMaster MB311L ARGB, Boot Drive: 250GB MX500, Game Drive: WD Blue 1TB 7200RPM HDD.

 

Peripherals: GK61 (Optical Gateron Red) with Mistel White/Orange keycaps, Logitech G102 (Purple), BitWit Ensemble Grey Deskpad. 

 

Audio: Logitech G432, Moondrop Starfield, Mic: Razer Siren Mini (White).

 

Phone: Pixel 3a (Purple-ish).

This is the info needed to answer that question:

- Upload speed

- What resolution are you gaming on (and what resolution/fps do you want to stream at?)

- What games

 

This is what twitch.tv recommends: https://stream.twitch.tv/encoding/

25 upload

1080p across 

valorant,counter strike, r6, apex, fornite, call of duty and any game pretty much.

I have a 2080 super but I wasn’t happy with the quality.

Target the two 1080p60fps presets twitch.tv suggests.

 

NVENC (which runs on your videocard) typically has minimal effect on gameplay, so that might be worth it. In my experience with CPU encoding you'll want to set the CPU affinity in task manager (so on which cores/threads OBS can run vs. the game).

So basically get these sort of settings (X264):

Quote

Resolution: 1920x1080

Bitrate: 6000 kbps

Rate Control: CBR

Framerate: 60 or 50 fps

Keyframe Interval: 2 seconds

Preset: veryfast <-> medium

Profile: Main/High

The preset is the one you can play around with. If you choose something like verfast/fast/etc. it will be easy to render for your CPU, but might look worse. Medium/slow/etc. will be the opposite; high CPU use and better quality.

Of course bitrate will influence the quality too.

Find the right balance between these two for you.
