Can you help me?

 

[Bazim]

Wait what? That is bad quality? I viewed that in fullscreen (1920x1080) nad quality is very good.

 

[Hasarek]

When i watch it its bad :/
And why OBS Log is showing only half of my ram?

 

[Bazim]

Im not a pro about OBS i have too problems but i guess your problem is this:

Open Broadcaster Software v0.612b - 32bit

You need to use 64 bit version OBS

 

[Krazy]

Um, that quality is completely fine. A high motion FPS like BF4 won't look much better than that unless you use insane bitrates.

You need to temper your expectations for livestreaming quality. Do keep in mind that you are real time encoding a high motion video at a relatively low bitrate.

 

[Hasarek]

How about Krazy adding to custom x264 setting threads=9? Then i can go with fast or even medium sometimes. Is this good command?

 

[Krazy]

No, x264 is smarter than you or me about deciding how many threads can be used. The x264 devs really know their stuff. You're probably actually sacrificing some quality/encoding efficiency by messing with that command, in fact.
