Hey there.
My specs:
CPU - i7-3770k @ 3.5 Ghz
DDR - 16gb @ 1600 Mhz
GPU - Geforce GTX 560 Ti.

I need some help tweaking the stream.
First of all,the settings of OBS:







My router's
DownStream Connection Speed - 22397 kbps
UpStream Connection Speed - 2794 kbps

My speedtest.net
2579898095.png


And this is the stream quality that I got with the settings above:
http://www.twitch.tv/irs0osooom/b/378843615

Whenever I use the OBS settings above,I get some lag spikes,and the text on the stream is barely readable.
If you guys could help me sort it out,it will be amazing.


Oh,also,a log from the stream:

Re: Help me tweak the stream please.Everything needed inside

There's little you can do to avoid downscaling when you only have that much bandwidth to spare. Downscaling will reduce pixel ratio, so your output stream will be blurrier. It's somewhat unavoidable unfortunately. You might just have to increase the text size or something to compensate.

Re: Help me tweak the stream please.Everything needed inside

Thanks for the reply Jim.
So I just need to remove the downscale and keep streaming on 1920x1080?
What about lag spikes in the game? Am I using the right bitrate?

Re: Help me tweak the stream please.Everything needed inside

You can't stream 1080p with remotely watchable quality off that upload speed, unless you are streaming something involves very little scene movement.

If you are getting lag spikes in game, it very well could be you using too much of your upload, leaving not enough room for your game. In that case you would have to lower bitrate even further, though you could try the Minimize Network Impact setting under Settings>Broadcast Settings

Re: Help me tweak the stream please.Everything needed inside

Thanks for the suggestions to try the minimize network impact Krazy,but...
I have a link in the first post,about the quality....take a look at it..
Should I keep the quality on 10 or lower it ? Does it even make any change ?
And what I can do without the downscale thingy when I play on 1920x1080? ...
Also,I've seen here on the forums something about "Use CBR" ? Should I use it ?

Re: Help me tweak the stream please.Everything needed inside

Which game are you streaming? That affects which Quality Balance setting you should use. I would strongly recommend downscaling to 720p because of your bitrate limitations. I personally recommend CBR, as does Twitch, but it's up to you. It's a much more predictable bitrate and can potentially help deal with in game ping.

Trying to stream APB Reloaded..
So,I'll enable the CBR,and put downscaling to 1280x720,and also the minimize network impact.
About the Quality Balance,and max bitrate/buffer? I have no idea on which one to set.
APB Reloaded is kinda fast 3rd person shooter game,if it helps..

Re: Help me tweak the stream please.Everything needed inside

Well, I should have clarified that Quality Balance doesn't apply if you are using CBR.

I would leave your bitrate at 2000, and see if you still get lag spikes with CBR. If so, then you can try to enable the "Minimize Network Impact" setting under Broadcast Settings. If you STILL get network spikes after that, start lowering your bitrate in increments of 100 until it stops.

Re: Help me tweak the stream please.Everything needed inside

Streamed a bit with CBR on,2000kbps.
Can you check the log and tell me whats wrong with it ?
Btw,recorded stream.... http://www.twitch.tv/irs0osooom/b/379352626

Re: Help me tweak the stream please.Everything needed inside

The only thing that sticks out to me here is that you have two Game Captures sources for some reason. You only need one.

However, there aren't really any lagged frames or dropped frames. What exactly is still wrong? That VOD looks pretty good.

If you are still getting network lag in game, and you are using Minimize Network Impact, then the only other thing you can do unfortunately is to lower the bitrate.

Re: Help me tweak the stream please.Everything needed inside

The second source I think was from Warz that I tried to capture in window mode,for some reason I couldn't make it work in full screen,like the previous game that I was streaming.
What really bugs me,that I have choppy video on the recorded stream,could it be that I was using the second capture?? It wasn't that smooth....
Besides that,I was using the CBR and 2000kbps,and minimize network impact,and my latency was above 110ms when usually its on 70-90.
