Streaming CS:GO

[MartyG]

Hello my friends,  my RIG is :

► Motherboard - ASUS X99-DELUXE LGA 2011-v3
 

► RAM - Corsair Vengeance 16GB 2800MHz DDR4

► CPU - Intel Core i7-5820k 12 Cores OC'ED to 4.2Ghz

► GPU - Gigabyte GTX 970 Gigabyte G1 OC 

And I can pretty much handle the Bitrate I need to stream, but It comes to a point where the stream looks so bad ! Especially for CS:GO, I am streaming with these settings - 720p / 60FPS / 3500 Bitrate / Preset - High , still looks bad, Compared to Summit and other big streamers even if they use the same settings. Do you have idea ? Also I am playing At 4:3 stretched. oh, well if u have exp with this, please help me out ! I am getting crazy

[babadoctor]

play at 16:10 and it should help

Question is, can your upstream deliver a constant 3.5 up?

[babadoctor]

internet speeds?

What encoding do you use? (and OBS or X-split? )

[MartyG]

I am using Obs, I can handle 3500 constantly , i am using separate lines one for OBS one for Gaming, so Internet is not problem - this is my last video I made with OBS - http://www.twitch.tv/martyvily/v/21179704  It's at 3500Bitrate 720p 60fps , Medium Preset ! It doesn't look good for me.

You're playing at 4:3, and then streaming at 16:10. Theres your problem  the stream is stretching the image to fit the different aspect. Either play in 16:9 or 16:10 to get a much less shitty image quality.

 

What you're doing is basically taking a smaller, thinner image, and stretching it to make it taller and much wider, making it look... well, really shitty and distorted.

 

Your stream looks just fine @MartyG, i have no idea what you're on about >.>

[MartyG]

Yea I think that's the reason... But I am too used to 1280x960

Preset to medium or slow. CS needs a ton of compression to look decent.

You should be able to stream 1080p with that setup.. Whats your internet connection speed?

1080p on twitch doesn't work because the bitrate is too low.

Okay, you tell me what setting should I use.

This already looks about as good as it should look. Streamers like shroud and summit use capture cards and separate computers to do the encoding so their might look a little better, but yours is definitely up there.

Ah I understand now, it's because of the capture card, well My next upgrade will be a streaming PC + a Capture card, Cheers and thanks !

you don't need to upgrade, it looks good...

[Guest]

The stream looks perfectly fine at source

It looks good enough unless you are doing it as a job or something. No need to upgrade anything.

[MartyG]

Well I was Kind of fulltime streamer before, but I stop, anyways, I think it looks like that only oN CS.. will a game capture make it look a lot better or? and can I use a game capture without a second PC? Like... connected to one pc?
