Hello,
I'm using i5 7500, gtx 1060 6gb and 8gb ram. My internet is 50mbps of download and 20 mbps of upload.
I'm streaming at x264 very fast and 720p30 at bitrate 2750 kbps and quality is not enough.
How can I change settings to improve quality and my PC wouldn't lag.
Regards :)
 
It's really low around 10%. Should I change settings for 1080p or 720p it's ok for this setup.
Thanks and regards :)
 
Make sure you are using an outside program to monitor your CPU usage. OBS's is not accurate. 720p is a great option given your CPU. I would play with the usage preset. The slower the preset, the better the quality of pixel. This is to be taken with a grain of salt as it also depends on the games you play. High action games like pubg, fortnite, csgo will require faster presets and the quality will be the best it can. If you are playing slow games like Dota or hearthstone... you could get away with a slower preset as you have less pixels flying around. As far as 1080, I would not recommend it for an i5.

My current settings are x264 encoder, CBR, 2900, 720p60fps, faster preset. I have a GTX 970 with an i7 5820k overclocked. If you want to see the quality I am outputting, check out OG_Awal on twitch and look at my videos.
