I envy your uplink and other than using the Estimator as dodgepong mentioned, I suggest you dig into the FAQs and walkthroughs here on these forums as well as over on Twitch.TV. There are so many variables that come into play with streaming from console(*which* console for one?) and the best way to go is with the estimator settings, then just trial and error after spending many many hours reading through all of the available content until your stream is exactly how you always wanted it to be.

I'm still tinkering heavily every day, and I've probably streamed 400 hours in the past 5 months.

If you would like me to check your stream for you after you get it set up, then I can offer some assistance and make suggestions - feel free to drop me a PM.

Have fun!

Hey my speeds are similar and I stream PS3. Your PC is a bit better as i have a first gen i7 but here are my settings. Everything else I left at default other then microphone setting but thats personal preference

2000 is a good bit rate for 720p I have been using 3000 and recently dropped to 2800 and it looks great but people complain sometimes they cant watch it.

So 2000 will still look good? Thanks also for the help everyone.

I would also like to note that I sometimes stream on Youtube and I have partner there so I have the option for HD but it suggests to set the 720p stream at 4000 bit rate? I am just wondering why it asks so much?
