try downscaling to 1280x720 with bilinear filter. 1000 bitrate wont look good with 1080 anyway and it seems it is to much for your mobile CPU. dont expect desktop performance with a mobile processor.

Will try this and let you now, thnx man

If you have the upload speed, set your bitrate and buffer to 2000. which you will need over 2Mbps upload at minimum.
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/tech-support/478845-twitchtest-twitch-bandwidth-tester

run this test for your region and it should tell you how much upload twitch will take from you. use the ingest with the highest quality if possible.

try downscaling to 1280x720 with bilinear filter.

I did it but what about the Base resolution? I leave it the same 1920x1080

based on that tool test, the best server for me is France, EU and im connected
to it from Saudi Arabia ME

this is my internet test, it is very good i suppose

That isn't what I asked for. speedtest test to twitch, which is what is important.

yes, 1080 base 720 downscale.

m0h4m3d · Oct 26, 2015

Here it is

Yeah that upload is more like 6Mbps, which is still fine, but I would still downscale and set your bitrate and custom buffer to 2000-2500 at most

m0h4m3d · Oct 26, 2015

Max bitrate and buffer set to 2000
resolution set to 1280x720

in Preview stream, fps looked better than before, but ill try the real test when I go live streaming later today..
Thanks for your help

m0h4m3d · Oct 26, 2015

I just did stream and it was very slight, no fps drop at all,
i was palying with 80 or 90 fps and that was good, no fps lag noticed

Thanks alot man <3
