Question / Help CS:GO Streaming optimizing using a bad machine!

Hi.

I started streaming recently, and I seek advice to optimize it. My computer is quite in the low end, and since I am not a technical guy, I am not really sure how to get the most out of my settings I can:

My specs:
CPU: i5-4460 (4 x 3.2 GHz) 8 gb ram (2133 mhz) Nvidia GTX 750
Internet connection: 90 mb download, 30 mb upload

My obs settings:
Max bitrate: 3000 kb/s, buffer size 3000
Video: Resolution downscale (1280x720), Lanczos (best detail, 36 samples)
FPS: 60

Advanced:
Priority Class: Normal
x264 CPU preset - veryfast
Encoding profile: main

I use game capture, and all my settings ingame is LOW + 1600x900 resolution.
I have 300 fps (capped) when not streaming, and I have about 180 when streaming with a few drops now and then (making it feel not smooth).


I feel like my stream looks nice, but it definitely slows down my game a bit. Have I configured it right, or do I need to go buy a new cpu to hit 200+ fps? :)

My kindest regards,
Sekret

I will try.

Since I have 30 mb upload, is there a reason not to use 3000 instead of 2500? I don't quite understand the setting I think.

I'm not too sure on this myself, so someone with a bit more knowledge on it should come by and explain it.. I've just seen the 2000-2500kbps range recommended for "non-partnered channels" and, frankly, 720p60 doesn't look too bad in that range and appears to cut down on buffering for people with weaker connections

if you want 60 fps then go ahead and use nvenc if you want to stream with x264 and without that much performance impact then 720p30 is your way to go with your i5
