Ok, so I have been reading through some of the information about CPU preset but it seems the info I am looking for is scattered and lots of varying opinions on systems that aren't quite like mine. I have a poor upload, but a pretty monster rig, so I am thinking the CPU preset can help with my issue. All I can find is that it affects only some aspects of quality and not others, but no specific information.
I would like to stream at 720p, 30fps
I have found that right now, I can get very little lag on the stream when streaming around a TOTAL of 600 bit rate (includes audio) but the quality is pretty terrible during gaming. What CPU preset can I use, and how EXACTLY is it going to affect my game quality.
The rig -
CPU - I7 3930k (6 cores, 6 HT, all unparked) at a medium overclock of 4.6 ghz (have gotten up to 5.2 stable but don't like the temps) - I am water cooled and well below temps when running 4.6 so not scared of CPU usage/temp issues there
Ram- 16gb corsair vengeance 2133
Mobo - Asrock Extreme6/GB this is an x79 chipset with a standalone sound/lan card to reduce mobo load
GPU - single EVGA 670 gtx FTW factory OCed
HDD - 7200 RPM for games/OBS, 500+ mbps SSD for OS and 'main' games
Connection - 10mps DSL, on speedtest i get 9-11 MBPS down but a max of somewhere around .5-.7 kpbs up
So, how can I improve stream quality with OBS, specifically using the CPU preset settings, and what are the consequences of changing the setting both good and bad?
