Hello,

Started using OBS today and got everything setup nicely.

However I seem to be unable to get the 720P setting. I can only get 768+ or 614+ setting when I stream.

Could someone help me in the right way?
 
I am going to assume you're using the downscale function to try and get to 720p. Downscale literally scales the input down by a certain percentage. What this means, amongst other things is that the original resolution of whatever you're capturing must be in the same aspect ratio as 720p is (16:9).

What are you trying to capture and in what resolution are you playing that?
 
Sorry for the double post but let me give you some more info

Im playing a game called path of exile, im playing in a resolution (windowed) of 1024x600

Now I get the following options in OBS:
- None (1366x768)
- 1.25 (1092x614)
- 1.50 (910x512)

When I select None I the stream resolution is 728+. If I select 1.25 the stream resolutin is 614+. I notice a difference in quality with the 768 to 614 but not a performance boost on my end.

Does this mean I need to change the resolution of the game to actually get 720+? If so, what would that resolution be to get the best results?
 
So, run it at 1280x720 then, windowed. The exact resolution you want to stream in. It would be windowed so all you would need to do is alt-tab to see the chat. You could tuck it in a corner to see if there are new messages and then quickly tab do it to see those messages.
 
I could try that yes, will do as well.

Also is there an option the get a chatoverlay over the game? Not for the stream to see but just for me? Then alt+tab wouldnt even be nescessary.
 
Yes. As the Twitch.TV chat is actually simply an IRC chat you could try installing an IRC client with an overlay function. I believe there is a plugin for mIRC that will allow it to overlay.
