Twitch Streaming

Can anybody help me finding the right streaming settings using OBS?

A few specs:

 

i5-4670k @ 4.4GHz

GTX780 windforce @ 1019mhz/1149mhz

5.6mbps up, 115mbps down

This is what I use with my 4770K and 780:

What your upload speed and down speed

It all depends on which games you stream. High action, fast paced games like Battlefield, Call of Duty, in general, FPSes, you want to ramp up your bitrate to reduce pixelation. it's all trial and error, really. I suggest 3500kbps at 720p / 45FPS. If you play something like Dota 2 or League of Legends, you may set it to 1080p. Try different settings, set OBS to record locally and check the results after played a minute or two.

 

This is a pretty decent guide that also shows suggested quality settings.. 

I usually stream World of Warcraft, I'll also be streaming games like Minecraft, but also games like Tomb Raider, Metro:LL

Well that's an i7, you can handle a higher cpu preset

I am using an Nvidia Codec which uses your GPU to encode the video Records 1080p/60fps with a ~10% max performance decrease. 

 

Plus, your CPU is OC'd, mine is at stock

How do you do that? Is that The 'Nvidia NVENC' option?

Indeed it is. It uses an H.264 encoder on the GPU to encode the video instead of using your CPU A lot more efficient

I'll try that Ty

Now my stream won't go live anymore... It will when i use the x264 encoding

That's weird. Try switching back to CPU encoding.

 

Also, what GPU drivers do you have? You need decently new drivers to use that feature

Yeah CPU encoding works, and well just regular nvidia drivers downloaded with geforce experience

Anybody else>?
