Hello,

i want to stream Overwatch.

Monitor: 2233RZ Samsung (1680:1050 -> 16:10)
CPU: i5 6600k @4,4ghz
Mainboard: Z170-K ASUS
Graphiccard: ASUS R390 Strix
RAM: 16GB
Bandwith: 50MBit down / 10Upload

Which Settings do i have to set if i want the best ingame performance/high quality stream?

How can i avoid the blackbars by playing 16:10?
Is it right that i have to set the hardwareencoder on? If yes, where can i find it?


Best regards,

Tim

By setting your base resolution to a 16:9 aspect ratio one and filling the black bar area with overlay. All other options will reduce the quality of your stream.

Hardware encoders ALL have worse quality per bitrate than x264.

You're going to need to downscale your resolution to one in the 1280x720 class, stream at 30fps and use 2000kbit video bitrate for optimal quality.
