Hi guys. What are the best settings for livestreaming on Twitch with the following PC?

I7 8700K
Geforce GTX 1080

depends on you game/content.
Start with 720p/30fps x264 preset fast and ~3000kbit/s.
For shooters and 60fps, i would increase bitrate to 5000kbit/s, but then you might loose some potential viewers.

Okay thanks but wy preset fast? i thought that slow is better????

 

[BK-Morpheus]

it is better (very slightly) but in more CPU demanding games, preset slow might be to much CPU load, even for an beefy 8700k (at least at 720p 60fps, but with 30fps it might work).

Hmm okay thanks for your answer. Then I test the preset fast and hope the quality will not be worse.

Okay one question:
Is the quality better if I stream with my graphics card in 1080 / 60fps?

?

Nope, it will be slightly worse with GPU encoding.
