Hi.

Right now I'm struggling to get a decent stream quality. I am using a dual pc setup. I've tried a lot of resolution/bitrate/x246 custom commands changes but it seems like I can't find the right balance to get the maximum quality. If I compare my VOD's to other streamers with a similar setup my quality looks way worse. I hope that someone can help me out by telling me what I'm doing wrong or giving me the right settings for this setup.

Streaming high motion games such as:
  • Call of Duty Modern Warfare
  • Apex Legends
  • CS:GO
Streaming-PC:
  • CPU: Threadripper 1920x
  • GPU: GTX 1070
  • RAM: 32GB QUAD CHANNEL (4x8GB)
  • CC: Avermedia Live Gamer 4K (HDMI 2.0/1080p/240fps from gaming-PC)
Speedtest:
  • 500 Mbps up
  • 500 Mbps down

OBS settings
AVerMedia RECentral 4 settings

Sample Twitch VOD
As you can see the video quality is very grainy. I can't find an solution for it.. I tried lowering the resolution (900p) or cpu preset, it only got worse..
  • 1080p/1080p resolution
  • 8000 bitrate
  • Medium preset
  • High profile
  • No custom x264 options
  • Capture card - Device default
