Hi guys im pretty dumb when it comes to this stuff i don't understand why this cant be so user friendly but oh well..im getting super bad choppy stream and bad resolution..down below is a log if anyone can look at it and help me out and let me know what my settings should be at..also if someone can also tell me how to adjust sound so you dont hear me smashing away on keyboard thankshttps://gist.github.com/c1826cc455b2b930259d
Question / Help Choppy stream but good resolution help
- Thread starter cubano32
- Start date
Code:
17:11:03: Aero is Disabled
17:11:03: profile: high
17:11:03: keyint: 250
17:11:03: max bitrate: 1000
17:11:03: buffer size: 1000Enable Aero first, window and game capture need aero enabled.
set profile to main
set key frame interval to 2 (not auto)
for 900p@30fps streaming you'll need at least 3000 bitrate and buffer.
if you dont have 3000bitrate, set bitrate to 80% of your upload speed then downscale your resolution to 400p or 600p.
Better yet, use the tool below to tell you what bitrate to use no more than 80% of the total bitrate it shows if its under 3500 bitrate, but just dont go over 3500 bitrate.

You need to give:
intended games
resolution desired to stream at
upload you have (use the tool he linked to check where you get the best bandwidth to)
and what GPU you have (your log says 6800 series, which is pointless. I need the full number)
Finally, overclock your CPU. AMD CPUs are quite weak and even though that is indeed an 8-core, it is in no way enough to squeeze quality out of a machine at 3.5GHz. 4.8GHz should be your target, with your smallest overclock being 4.4GHz
If you do not understand why AMD CPUs are weak (and/or want to say "my friends told me no!" or "but I saw so many benchmarks saying they're fine!" or whatever) I made a post on another forum which adequately explains why they are the way they are. Give that a read if it interests you. http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/305918-multi-cores-in-gaming/#entry4158245

so i used that link and i do not understand what im supposed to do...i ran the test and for my server shows Bandwidth 10000+kbps....RTT 31ms....quality 94...so im not sure what you mean how much im suppose to set bitrate at...sorry if i sound dumb but i know nothing about computer shit i just play the games

LoL is not an issue. WoW is CPU heavy. You will likely need to use different levels of CPU compression for each game, and different streaming settings.
As a non-partner, try not to cross 2500 bitrate.
720p should be your target streaming resolution at that bitrate.
Not every can and has the proper hardware for overclocking so you cant just willy-nilly tell people to do this. without the correct understanding of overclocking, can make the PC unstable. I'm not just saying this, x264 requires accuracy, and as most people don't discourage a decent OC, it is also not advice we should be giving out to everyone.
tl;dr give targeted advice please
it was just a test to figure out where you are at since you only had 1000bitrate selected. I just didn't want to assume you could go higher but you can
downscale to 600p (or around that) or as D2Ultima said, your target is 720p
2500 bitrate and buffer should be suffice and at that resolution, you shouldn't need to OC, if you have trouble after these recommendations, we'll work on that then.

If you purposefully spent MORE money for an unlocked CPU which performs about the same as the locked CPU and then leave it at stock, I'm gonna say to OC. People shouldn't be wasting potential and money.
sure thing, remind me to send you the crashdumps of those users that crash after the recommended OC.

There's a million guides out there. As long as they follow a decent one they'll be fine.
