Question / Help Need best video bitrate to stream overwatch and other games

[Al Pacchione]

Hi,

I am starting to stream overwatch but it lags unfourtunately.

I had the bit rate at 2500 with audio at 160.

I am currently using a 31 inch 4k LG monitor with normal screen settings of 4096X2160 NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 970 if that matters.

What settings can i set this at?

Please help,

Thanks.

Rescale to 720p, 30 FPS
Bitrate1800 minimum. Maybe you can try 2500 at 720p 30 fps, or 1080p 30 fps.

I cant really rescale to the 1920 X 1080 as it auto dosent fit the screen and would rather not have that.

What is i tried a 2500 bit rate with less fps?

 

[Al Pacchione]

I put the base and output resolution at 4096 X 2160 with a fps of 30, would this help?

Edit scaled resolution. Don´t use proposed.
This way you can set canvas size to 1920x1080 o 1280x720.

so I did rescale to 1920 X 1080 with a 2500 bit rate but was still lagging slightly. Should i alter the bit rate slightly?

 

[EBrito]

1920x1080x30fps at 3500 should be good.

EDIT- Your internet is 2800kbps. So, 2500 is maximum ( you must add audio)
Change profile from veryfast to superfast. Ultrafast reduces lag but you´ll get pixelated video in quick turns, usual in any FPS.
You can reduce to 25 fps, also.
