Question / Help Can you stream 1080 with 5 up?

[Ever_Present]

Processor - Intel i7 6700k
Graphics Card - GTX 1080
RAM - 16GB
Down - 60
Up - 5

I seem to have a real problem with artifacts in my stream. I've adjusted the settings quite a lot and have had some success but not quite what I would like. I know my hardware is not the problem so my question is can you stream 1080 with 5 up?

Since its recommended not using more than 3500 Bitrate, yes. 1080p30 simply isnt that great for a couple of games.

Alpinlol thats outdated information, the new twitch guidelines say 3-6mbps now. As always that doesnt mean its buffer free...

CLEAN 1080p isnt that easy to get with streaming bitrates, the more motion in the game the worse it is.
5000kbps is still pretty low for 1080p for fast games, even 6000kbps is low.

So with 5 upload 720res what would you recommend I set my bitrate at?

5000-6000kbps should be perfectly fine for 1080p30

1600*900 with 50 fps would do the trick giving a good image and fps.

Got Updates 4 days ago and still says

• Recommended bitrate for 1080p: 3000-3500
• Recommended bitrate for 720p: 1800-2500
• Recommended bitrate for 480p: 900-1200
• Recommended bitrate for 360p: 600-800
• Recommended bitrate for 240p: Up to 500

when you click on the OBS Guideline.

Video Requirements

• Encoding Profile: Main (preferred) or Baseline
• Mode: Strict CBR
• Keyframe Interval: 2 seconds
• Framerates: 25/30 or 50/60 frames per second
• Recommended bitrate range - 3-6 megabits per second

might be aimed at Partners

Then again their routing is still one of the worst ever and even people with a stable connectio to any other streaming platform at over 3500 Bitrate reply with horrible buffer issues or even dropped frames.

That part didnt get updated, the page you linked itself did.

The "max of 80% of your upload throughput" is a good guideline to stick to, though. Otherwise you may run in to problems because of your stream hogging all your bandwidth.
