Question / Help Help to set up stream :)

[Cleedwood]

Hello there, so I have long had the dream of becoming a streamer.
So today I got all the required software and stuff like that.

But when I opened the OBS settings menu I realized i got no idea what numbers I should put in to get the maximum out on my stream.

PC specs:
CPU: i5-3570K @ 3.40 GHz (its a quad core?)
16GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680
Running on Windows 7 pro

My internet connection is 21/1

I'm Looking to stream games such as smite, League of legends and possibly some other games.

If you can help me, it would be much appreciated!

Welcome to the team. My Smite IGN is RamboUnchained. Maybe we can dual stream some-time in the future.

With a 1 upload, the best you're going to be looking at 480p and that's pushing it.

I'd say enable quick sync in your motherboard bios and use that to stream. If your mobo doesnt support quick sync, faster, and very fast, and Nvenc will be your best friends with an i5.

Or you can try the estimator's settings: http://gyazo.com/87826e4d1d6d07d87e69b6faa1087a2d

It reduces your CPU usage quite substantially according to reviews here on the forums. I havent used it myself, so I cant give you a personal review.
