Hey Guys,

first of all here are my PC Components + Internet Speeds

CPU: Intel Xeon 1230 v2
GPU: GTX 560 Non Ti 1 GB GDDR5
Ram: 16 GB

Internet:
Upload: 7500 kbits
Down: 107000

OBS Settings:

Encoder: x264
Bitrate: 2000kbit

Audio:
Code: AAC
Format: 48khz
Bitrate 128
Channel: Stereo

Broadcast:
1280 x 720
FPS: 48
Filter: Lanczos

Extended:

Priority: Higher than normal
Puffer: 700ms
x264 CPU Preset: veryfast


Now to my Problems:

Problem 1:

I want to stream atleast @ 720p / 60 FPS but at the moment my ingame frames are dropping when im trying to stream at that qualitiy. I am considering buying a GTX 970 AMP 4 GB GPU because my GTX 560 has only 1 GB and is very old.
How about my CPU is it good enough for Streaming ?

Problem 2:

The Sound in my stream sounds like its converted to 7.1 / 5.1 and has a little "Hall" effect in it. I have the G930 Headset but its set to Stereo all the time also for example cs:go sound config.

Thanks in advance !
 
Your CPU and gpu are both fine for obs. Not sure about whatever game you'll play though. Without a log file its impossible to say more.
 
What about my Settings in Obs ?

At the moment im only streaming CS:GO with Graphic Settings on Mid
I will do a test stream and post the log file.
 
OBS's performance was excellent, I'd guess that its using as much CPU as it needs, but isn't leaving enough for your game.

Try going to Settings > Advanced > General > Process Priority Class > and set it down to Normal if you had it at High or Above Normal, or Idle if it was at Normal.
 
And with you playing csgo, you need to cap csgo's FPS so that it's not trying to eat all the cpu time for useless frame updates.
 
@Boildown Thanks for your answer.

At the moment im streaming @720p 60 FPS and my game runs well but sometimes in Stream you can see a little bit of an Image Noise is there any way of fixing that or is that normal when streaming @720p

But im still having a Problem with the Sound Quality.

Here i made a Test Stream and in my opinion there is a little bit of "echo" or "hall" Effect in the Game Sound especially when im shooting. Is there any way i can fix that ?
 
720p60 on Very Fast at 2000 bitrate is not going to look perfect, no getting around that.

I have no idea about your sound quality problem, but I'd guess its a problem with your sound drivers or how your sound card is set up.
