Hello. This is my first post on this forum. I was wondering if you can help me with choosing the best settings for 1080@60FPS streaming. I focus mainly on CS:GO, League of Legends, Rainbow 6 Siege, GTA 5, and World of Tanks.

My specs are:
I7 4790K 4.0Ghz, Stock Cooler (Due to arrive in a couple of hours, just ordered it)
8GB of RAM
Asus DirectCU II R9 270X 2GB
1Gb/s Network with ~600Mbp/s upload

Also, will i be able to do 1080@60FPS with this specs, while streaming?
I heared something about Quick Sync, i do not know what it does exaclty, only had an i7 870 with no quick sync until now.

The cpu is too weak for those high resolution and fps. If you dont overclock your cpu. You will get stucks ingame and fps drops. But you could try it. But have a look at your cpu usage. If stream and you are ingame. I hope you have a second screen to see those things. ^^

You might be able to if you get a better cooler and overclock the CPU a bit. In stock trim it could have trouble, but might be able to do it if you set up your system to run very light (only casting-related programs running, that kind of thing).

What service are you streaming to? If Twitch, are you a Partnered caster? Even 1080@30 is unfeasible for non-partners there. @60 is right out.

QSV is an inferior encoding method that requires a lot more bitrate to look good than x264; it really is only used for local recording, or to compensate for a very weak CPU. On 1080@60, the amount of bitrate will pretty much guarantee no one will be able to watch your stream.

Sorry for the late response, had some issues with the new pc. I do have 2 monitors. What about a Noctua NHD15? And i am not Partnered with Twitch, i will look into that option to see what can i do.

If you're not partnered with twitch, 1080p streaming is out. Period.
The bitrates required to make it look even passable will put a large percentage of your potential viewers squarely into buffering hell.
