Question / Help Most optimized settings?

[Nerf__This]

Hey there, just new to this kind of thing and wondering what the optimized settings for everything would be.

I seem to stream alright, though my video did freeze once during my last stream while audio kept going (I think).

Planetside is quite CPU intensive but it shouldnt really be any issue streaming it on a current Gen i5.

For your Settings I would recommend using 30Fps instead of 35 and using more than a 1k Bitrate especially in a Game like this for 720p, usually around 2000-2500 Bitrate on 720p30 is a good starting point that still allows your Viewer to experience the stream without buffering issues.

I plan on doing things like Overwatch and HoTS among other things as well, but im assuming thats really not important to those settings?

The newer the game, the more threads / cores it generates / uses, because people want their games to take advantage of all the cores people have in their computers these days, and game developers are finally actually doing it.

This is bad for OBS because OBS was using the unused cores. So I'd expect streaming Overwatch to perform significantly worse than streaming HotS and Planetside 2 as far as OBS is concerned.
