Hey guys. I've recently started streaming some fps/moba games through facebook live and would like to know what kind of settings are good for high motion games? Example of games that I play are Sudden Attack (FPS game from Korea) and Dota 2 (MOBA).

PC Specs and Network Speed :-

- Intel Core i5 processor 4440.
- NVIDIA GeForce GT635.
- 4GB RAM.
- Base resolution is 1920 x 1080 and output resolution is 1280 x 720 in obs.
- 10mbps upload speed / 13mbps download speed.


Also do these settings apply to other live streaming platforms or are the settings different for each platform?

I once tried a GT630 and it was just too slow. You probably need a better GPU.

Change your output resolution (via downscaling) to 480p or maybe even 360p. Bitrate of about 1500kbps. Very Fast preset. 30 FPS. Try it for at least five minutes of high action gameplay (not just standing around) and then post the OBS log file from that attempt. If you want to use a higher resolution, you'll need a better GPU, I'd recommend a GTX 750 Ti if you're looking for something cheap.

My current OBS settings are 60 fps, 3.5k bitrate, very fast preset and bicubic filter. There are currently no problems with it when im streaming. It's just that the stream still looks quite low quality/blurry even though im on those settings. cpu usage is also around 20% with those settings that i just mentioned. Is there anyway i could increase the quality?
