Help me with OBS, please!`

[TheIronMinerLv]

Hello! Recently I bought i7 4790k, because I wanted to stream in better quality. Before I had this setup:

 

► MB - MSI FM2-A55M-E33

► CPU - AMD A10-6790 Quad Core Black Edition 4x

► RAM - 2x Kingston Xyper x 4GB 1600Mhz

► GPU - MSI GeForce GTX 960

► HDD - 500GB NCQ Seogate 7200rpm

► PSU - Intertech PSU 700W

And now I upgraded my CPU and MB to i7 4790k (CPU) and MSI Z97 GAMING 3 (Motherboard).

Now I don't know what settings to use, so please help me! I tried some settings from tutorials, but people who was watching said, that Stream lagged.

That PSU is cancer. REPLACE IT IMMEDIATELY

uhh, do veryfast 720p60 3000kb/s

Why is it so bad?

Please run a couple tests on http://speedtest.net and post your results here.

That PSU is from a brand that we've never seen before and after a quick bit of research turns out to be one that can't deliver on what it offers and will probably die pretty quickly.

Low quality power supplies often take out other components with them as well.

x264, 720p @ 60fps, VeryFast <----------- Don't change this, it can completely cripple your PC performance  3500kbps is the max upload Twitch will receive, so go below that depending on your upload and also what speed you think your viewers can load from Twitch.  The higher your upload, the more bandwidth is needed on the viewer side as well and knowing Twitch server stability...that can lead to a lot of buffering at random times even at low bitrates.

We generally frown on unknown PSUs, cos 1 thing wrong can cause your whole pc to go poof.  A good PSU will last you multiple upgrades and even full system migrations.  Nothing else besides monitors and PSUs can be future proofed.

P.S. That PSU is a ticking time bomb. It'll either blow your house or your PC up.

Keep in mind streaming is very dependent on internet upload speed so what do you usually get?

you're wrong there.

yes, it completely cripples your performance if you put it too high, but it also does a REALLY good job at encoding your stream.

theres a streamer that has it on slower, and manages to supply at least a semi-decent 720p on like.. 800bps upload.

 

a 4790k should be capable of at least medium just fine

 

EDIT: i'm chatting with a small streamer in an other tab (60 viewers, but he has a sub button, so he's at least semi-decent ) and he had this to say:

"if i did that, this would be blurfest"

720p30

1500kbps

3770k

Of course it does a good job encoding the stream, cos it's eating almost half your CPU cycles just for itself.  With my OC'd 3570K at 4.4GHz just running a stream preview of a game menu takes up 40%+

i7's not gonna help you that much when there's nothing stressing the CPU and it's already using that much.  3500kbps, 1080@30, VeryFast.

 

Here's what Medium looks like :

you're not getting the point do you?

the idea is you can pick how much cpu usage you dedicate to encoding - to allow for better or worse stream quality.

Of course, but CPU resources are much harder to come by than upload speeds, so leaving your game with as much CPU power is optimal for 0 dropped frames and stuttering in stream.

well... i'm currently pushing 720p30 trough 2Mbit with next to no loss, a WHOLE bunch of bloat running on the side, not going over 70% cpu usage.

testing with valley benchmark btw, not just a plain desktop.

 

720p60 chugs a bit on both med and fast, but i'm also purposely kicking my 4790k in the knees. if i dont "purposely kick it in the knees" it works just fine.

generally i suggest to not bother with 60fps if you cant dedicate a full cpu to your stream. (capture PC)

 

EDIT: with "next to no loss" i mean loss in picture quality, not dropping frames. once OBS starts chugging its a failed run to me.

you want to use NVENC setting in OBS....then do 1080p @ 30 or 720p @ 60

then just play around with the bitrate
