Hello. This Christmas I recived a high PC.

Windows 2.6.1.7601 (Service Pack 1)
Intel® Core™ i7-4770K CPU @ 3.50GHz
17,12 Gb
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 2,84 Gb X2

My Bandwith is 100mb/10mb

But I'm doing tests in Twitch and Youtube and I cant stream in 1080p with 60fps.

Whats wrong?

Thanks

Like alpinlol already said, depending on the game you try to stream even your good PC could be to weak. Also the Flashplayer can't really handle 1080p/60fps.

Normally a 720p/60FPS looks really good for the most games.

But maybe you give us more information about your OBS settings and the games you try to stream for detailed help.

Thanks for the response.

I'm trying to stream CSGO and WoW. I want to stream with the best quality that I can offer, but I'm lost with a lot of OBS options.

depending on your motherboard you could run it over quicksync which is like x264 on faster preset compared on the haswell cpu's.

csgo will have problems for 100% but wow should work without a problem if you stream with the normal x264

if your motherboard supports it i'd suggest trying it out since it has no performance decrease on your cpu since the igpu on the cpu does everything for streaming

Just a heads-up, OBS doesn't deal with SLI setups well. I see that you have 'x2' listed; if that's SLI, you'll need to disable it while streaming to get best(/acceptable) performance.

But yeah, no one really should be running 1080@60. Even if you had the bandwidth to support it properly (actual, constant throughput ~5mbps upstream devoted to video alone to not look like half-baked ass), the Twitch ingest servers would start to choke and die, and even if they didn't, your viewers would have to devote 5mbps to watch one stream. And if they could, it's likely their systems wouldn't be able to chug along with how resource-hungry the Flash player is. Your potential viewerbase would be tiny.

So a bad idea all-around.
Deal with 720p@30fps for high-motion games (FPSes, third-person MMOs) and switch to 1080@30 for lower motion games (MOBAs, platformers, things with lots of large areas of solidish color like Super Meat Boy).

He means 720p60 or 1080p30. Those are your two choices... you can capture 1080p60 to disk certainly but because of Flash limitations, you can't stream it to Twitch and have it be any good or viewable.
