OBS 64bit help settings!

[doclabtec]

I've been looking for a good settings in youtube,but most of them are for pro pc build, which I don't have.

 

Soo I was hoping if someone could give me a good settings for OBS 64bit here are my specs (The quality must be good and small file if possible and no lag)

Make a frigging pcpartpicker list of your components, or list all of your actual stuff here. All this stuff is completely useless.

All marked as "SHORT" bolded. Happy?

What games are you planning to record? Any plans for streaming= If streaming, whats your connection speed?

At basic you could do 720p 30fps. Bitrate to 2200 and up. Do some test recordings and see how much your fps in-game dips and watch if video is laggy afterwards. I can say that GPU is enough for most games, I'm running same thing and can stream BF3 with decent graphics.

Read, don't complain.

The information is still there, don't be rude.

Well basically there is advence and other things in OBS,no I am not planning to stream since my upload speed is not that good. But will try ,and if possible could someone share their screenshots of OBS settings in each option? I really want to do some videos,but the lag is frustating

Where do you get lag? In game or in videos? If its in videos, you need to try moving bitrate 200-400 up and down and trying to find what works. In game you need to either lower game settings or lower all settings in OBS. My settings are no good as I have way better CPU which allows me to use high bitrates.

Well ingame lag,but its okay,so better cpu=better speed/quality? Sorry for late reply.

Better CPU allows you to pump bitrate which makes videos better looking and smoother. If you get fps drops, GPU is also one to look at. CPU will also help with ingame stutter.

OBS is very intensive.  Use something a little toned.  I don't condone pirating any software for recording either.  

 

Good Video = Bigger File size

Bad Video = Small File size. 

 

OBS will revert to making everything blocky if it doesn't have a high enough bitrate.  

 

In the encoding tab set things to this:

 

Quality Balance: 7 

Max Bitrate: 6000 (kb/s)

Use Custom Buffer Size: Checked

Buffer Size: 0 (kbit)

 

 

In the Advanced Tab 

Go to the part that says Video set things to this:

x264 CPU preset: veryfast

Encoding Profile: main

Keyframe interval: 2

Use CFR: Checked

Custom x264 encoder settings

(This part depends on you) In the box type crf=

Caution: The Higher the number the bigger the file will be.  (IN MULTIPLIED FORM!)  Going above 30 will fill 1TB of space VERY quickly

Now here is what I recommend:

16 for 480p

18 for 720p

20-21 for 1080p

Frame rate doesn't matter and shouldn't be affected by this.
