Hi,

I'm new to OBS Studio. I'm trying to find the best settings for my build :

- Intel Core i5-4440
- Radeon R9 280X
- Upload: 20 Mbps
- Game: PUBG in 1080p

I have a lot of lag on Twitch if I set more than ultrafast settings in 720p@30fps with x264 encoder. But in fast moving game like PUBG the video compression is visible.
I tried the QuickSync encoder and the result is not better than x264, even if I set a higher bitrate.

I already desactived Windows 10 Gaming Mode, run as admin, etc.

So what do you think ? Is there a magic setting to get a good quality stream ? Or should a break the bank to buy a Core i7 ?

Thank you :)

Get a faster system so you can to take advantage of the 20Mbps upload. You'll be able to do 1080@60fps.

Something like:
- Ryzen 7 1600 or better
- 16GB DDR4 3200
- Nvidia GTX 1060 or better
