Question / Help Help with OBS Settings

[Montone]

Hi guys.

I tried OBS a bit of time, but I had difficulty in maintaining a stream clean and without lag/buffering.

I hope you can help me to suggest a good setting to make a stream of quality at least 720p without downscale if possible.

PC:

CPU: AMD FX-6300 6-Core Vishera 3.5 Ghz
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P
GPU: AMD Sapphire Radeon R7 260X
Ram: DDR3 Ballistix Tactical 8 GB
HDD: Saegate 1 TB
Power Supply: Thermaltake Hamburg 530W
OS: Windows 7 Home

Actual Stream setting that doesn't give me lack at cost of quality:

Encoding: x264 / CBR Active / Max Bitrate 1000 / Buffer Size 1000 / Codec AAC 44.1 kHz / Bitrate 96 / Channel Stereo
Broadcast Settings: Twitch / EU: Frankfurt, DE (( I'm actually live in Italy, this is does like the best on the test))
Video: 1280x720 (Downscaled at 852x480) / FPS 30 / Aero Disable
Advanced: Multithreaded Optimization On / Process Priority Normal / Scen Buffering to 400 / x264 preset Very Fast / Encoding Profile Main / Use CFR on / KeyFrame interval = 2

UPLOAD:

Speedtest

A note:

1. This actual setting makes me stable the stream, but I don't like it the quality.
2. I don't want lower my bitrate.
3. Advanced settings for x264 it would be nice if fitting with my pc/connection specs.

Bump :)

Use this to get a starting point: https://obsproject.com/estimator

Already used as starting point, but stream lags with this settings (and basically I want 30/60 fps, not 25):

CPU Advice

• Set FPS to 25

Game Advice

• A bitrate around 2000-3000 is sufficient for RTS and other low motion games
• Use game capture if possible for maximum performance.
• Use window capture with Aero enabled if game capture is unavailable.

Network Advice

• Your upload speed is sufficient for 720p / 1080p
• Enable CFR for compatibility with streaming services
• Enable CBR for improved stream stability
• Recommended max bitrate: 3500
• Recommended buffer size: 3500

You might wanna post a log then

Sure :) . With this configuration is almost no lags, but I prefer tweaks the option to get a better result in terms of quality video.

I don't see any problems in the log. Your bitrate is a bit low though and you might wanna try 30 fps and set resolution to 720p.
