Question / Help Could any one help me out?

[dup123]

So I want to try streaming on Twitch and I'm completely new to this, so I wondered if there is some one who could help to chose the best settings for my PC?
Specs:
AMD RADEON HD 7870 2gb Vram
FX(tm)-4100 Quad Core 3.6Hz
8Gb Ram
Monitor resolution - 1366x768
MOBO - MSI 970 gaming (I don't know if it's any use of saying what is my mother board, but still might be some useful info)

I understand that this is not very good set up for streaming, but that is all I currently have.
Since I have single monitor setup I used my tablet to watch stream and chat. Could that make my stream lag to viewers, if it is lagging on my Tab?
Thank you for any help you can give.

Update OBS, first
Try again, with same settings.
If lag:



custom settings: scenecut=0
Remove that custom setting.

13:59:42.187: Output 'adv_stream': Number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 326 (2.3%)
Reduce FPS to 25 OR preset Superfast
Or try: canvas and rescale=1092x614 30 FPS Preset Veryfast

After changing settings I managed to get stream with far less lag than before. Thank you for your help.

You are running OBS 32 bits. Copy shortcut, edit it and hook to 64 bits OBS.


768p rescaled to 720p

04:02:22.982: Output 'simple_stream': Number of dropped frames due to insufficient bandwidth/connection stalls: 644 (9.4%)

Previous 0.16.2 log:
768p rescaled to 614
Streaming 720p (so, rescaling AGAIN to diferent resolution in Output settings)
CBR 2000 Kbps Veryfast

After this
04:07:42.542: video settings reset:
04:07:42.542: base resolution: 1092x614
04:07:42.542: output resolution: 1280x720
WRONG!!!! Do not rescale upwards
Streaming 1092x614 (so, output seetings with rescaled checked)

04:10:41.884: Output 'adv_stream': Number of dropped frames due to insufficient bandwidth/connection stalls: 166 (3.2%)


After this
04:11:54.012: base resolution: 1092x614
04:11:54.012: output resolution: 1092x614
GOOD!
(I thin you leave Output rescaling unchecked -even checked I think it has no real effect in this case-)
04:14:28.115: Output 'adv_stream': Number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 2331 (52.3%)
04:14:28.115: Output 'adv_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 105 (2.4%)
04:14:28.115: Output 'adv_stream': Number of dropped frames due to insufficient bandwidth/connection stalls: 77 (1.7%)
CBR 2000 superfast


After this
768p not rescaled Lanczos filter (I think it´s not used; in this case, although, people uses Bilinear) 25 FPS
CBR 2000 kbps Superfast
04:23:18.632: Output 'adv_stream': Number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 1392 (64.9%)
04:23:18.632: Output 'adv_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 41 (1.9%)


After this
768p rescaled 614p Lanczos 25 FPS
CBR 1980 Kbps Superfast Tune:Film
04:28:36.965: Output 'adv_stream': Number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 1881 (46.4%)
04:28:36.965: Output 'adv_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 91 (2.2%)
04:28:36.965: Output 'adv_stream': Number of dropped frames due to insufficient bandwidth/connection stalls: 52 (1.3%)


So, your sytems is clearly weak to encode realtime video.

Best approach could be:

Canvas 854x480
Rescale 854x480
Rescale filter Bilinear
25 FPS (or even 20 FPS)

Output settings:
Rescale unchecked
CBR
1800 KBps (to get a little better image, that resolution and FPS don´t need too much)
Preset Superfast or Ultrafast


EDIT:
Or repeat what you did in 0.16.2
Previous 0.16.2 log:
768p rescaled to 614
Streaming 720p (so, rescaling AGAIN to diferent resolution in Output settings)
CBR 2000 Kbps Veryfast
13:59:42.187: Output 'adv_stream': Number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 326 (2.3%)

Now stream worked far more better. There was almost no lag at all (except for one moment when my gamed lagged for a second) I might play around with Preset and FPS to see what happens, other than that thank you very much.
