Hello OBS:

I've recently started streaming, and purchased an Elgato HD 60 game capture.
I've setup OBS as my streaming service, and not quite sure what is going on.
First of all im only able to select 4 different resolutions for my Elgato
And IF i try to run 1280x720 it's insanely laggy on Twtich, but in my OBS preview it looks fine. If i take the resolution down a bit, to these settings https://gyazo.com/fc8fca7cae954a8f805b4689fd8d320a it runs pretty okay, but the quality is so bad that streaming directly of the playstation, is almost prefered - despite not having any overlay or anything.
Isen't there a golden midway, or some settings I change so my quality vs performance gets a bit better? This is my logfile from last stream.

Hello OBS:

I've recently started streaming, and purchased an Elgato HD 60 game capture.
I've setup OBS as my streaming service, and not quite sure what is going on.
First of all im only able to select 4 different resolutions for my Elgato
And IF i try to run 1280x720 it's insanely laggy on Twtich, but in my OBS preview it looks fine. If i take the resolution down a bit, to these settings https://gyazo.com/fc8fca7cae954a8f805b4689fd8d320a it runs pretty okay, but the quality is so bad that streaming directly of the playstation, is almost prefered - despite not having any overlay or anything.
Isen't there a golden midway, or some settings I change so my quality vs performance gets a bit better? This is my logfile from last stream.

1080@60 is to much for your PC. 720@60 might be as well, but I would try this first.

change the elgato to 720@60 and change the base resolution of OBS to 1280x720 with no downscaling.

your buffer on the elgato is set to 0, set this to 1.
