Question / Help [Help] Setting up my OBS

[SupperFood]

So I bought this new laptop and I was thinking about doing some League of Legends livestreaming, but I don't have a really good Upload speed to compensate the video quality, so I would love for someone to help on this. I have already used OBS Estimator to get the recommanded bitrate, and I did mess around with the bitrate, but I still couldn't grasp the best bitrate and settings for my OBS.

Here is my log (My log file is too big to post them in here, so I have to use the upload button from help settings in OBS):

https://gist.github.com/7eb6527806233db449fe

And here is my speedtest.net result:

The upload speed hits between 1.8 to 2.0 mbps and it's not very consistent. The speedtest result was tested after I restarted my router.

Any help will be appreciated, and thank you!

Quciksync is going to lower the quality per bitrate for any stream. your target bitrate/buffer should be 1500 and no more. you should attempt to reenable send optimizations in OBS to see if that helps. this is an automattic metric and should only be disabled if you are having latency issues.

Thank you for replying, but I couldn't find "send optimizations in OBS" in the settings anywhere, could you show me where that is? Also, are you saying that x264 is still better than QuickSync, because I saw some youtube videos about this and people say that it is better to livestream using QuickSync since there isn't any FPS drop during gameplay

Also, what do you think it would be the best setting for me to livestream twitch.tv in my condition?

most any CPU can do 720@30, even your mobile i7, which is more equivalent to a desktop i5 stream-wise.

Try it and see.

Quicksync is nice that it takes the load off, but we are talking about quality here. 720@30 needs 2000-2500 bitrate which you don't have. quicksync needs about +200-500 on top of that to look the same. to which, is way past your limits (you should be streaming at 1500-1600 bitrate max. I would say 540p@30fps would look great at 1500, no problem.
