First, change your base resolution in OBS' video settings to 1280x720. Second, make the video capture source fit to it, Ctrl-F or Ctrl-R rather to reset.

Generally I'd recommend using the estimator if you haven't already: http://obsproject.com/estimator

Generally speaking, more bitrate means more quality, no more than the max bitrate they want is typically 3500 on twitch.

Why 720p?

 

[Lain]

The elgato only runs at 720p. If you want the best quality, you want your stream to operate at a 1:1 pixel ratio with what you're capturing.

 

[BruteRave]

So I resolution downscale to 1280x720?

 

[Lain]

No no, base resolution to 1280x720.

 

[BruteRave]

Where do I change that?

 

[dodgepong]

In your Video settings.

 

[BruteRave]

Thank you very much! So by saying the video capture source should fit you mean just going to Position>Fit to Screen?

 

[dodgepong]

The Elgato is capturing at 720p, and your base resolution is 720p, so it should fit by itself. If not, then yes, Fit To Screen should make it fit, as should "Reset".

So I have the best settings possible for my hardware? Thank you so much dodgepong! You've always helped me with my obs problems
