You can try the website that obs made which is obsproject.com/estimator this shows you the recommend settings for your condition

And what do you want to stream? FPS? RTS?

You've got a pretty dated pc now, you'll probably struggle.

i stream Dayz standalone and the arma 2 day z mod plus terraria

But that GPU and CPU are both really really bad...you'll probably need to stream at 360p, 25fps, and the ultrafast x264 preset.

i did the estimator and it says this also will setting to ultrafast damage my CPU at all?

CPU Advice

• Set downscale to 480p or similar low resolution
• Set FPS to 25
• Consider using superfast preset if you experience high CPU usage (not recommended)

Game Advice

• Try to aim for the highest bitrate possible for high motion games
• Use game capture if possible for maximum performance.
• Use window capture with Aero enabled if game capture is unavailable.

Network Advice

• Your upload speed is sufficient for 720p / 1080p
• Enable CFR for compatibility with streaming services
• Enable CBR for improved stream stability
• Recommended max bitrate: 3500
• Recommended buffer size: 3500

can anyone tell me if i set the setting to ultrafast will it physically damage my CPU?

 

[dodgepong]

Ultrafast will make it easier on your CPU, not harder. So no, it will not damage your CPU.

well i hope upgrading to a Intel core 2 quad 2.83GHz will help streaming a bit!

Honestly. I wouldn't waste the money on a c2q as a stop-gap, unless its insanely cheap (~$10-$15) It's still going to be so far behind the 8-ball, you'd be better off not streaming in the mean time, and putting towards the cash for a proper upgrade. I know it's a hard pill to swallow, but your pc is just super underpowered. You'll have a much better quality stream, and hence a much more enjoyable time streaming, if you commit some resources to a new pc.
