I want to stream, but the video quality is... meh.
When I move, the video gets super pixelated—it's pretty awful to watch, especially for fast games with lots of flashes and effects like Haste or Ultrakill. Even on slower games like LoL, Valorant, or Valheim, it just doesn’t look good.
My PC specs are:
AMD Ryzen 7 9700X
Sapphire RX 6950 XT
32GB RAM
2560x1440 display
From what I understand, the AMD encoder isn’t great compared to Nvidia’s. I’ve tried tons of different encoder settings from YouTube and forums, but none have significantly improved the quality.
So far, the best results I’ve gotten are by using the x264 encoder instead of the AMD one, with the following settings:
Rescale Output: Disabled (didn’t seem to make a difference)
Rate Control: CBR
Bitrate: 8000 Kbps
Keyframe Interval: 2s
CPU Usage Preset: veryslow
Profile: high
Tune: none
I’ve seen that newer AMD GPUs are better, but I can’t afford to upgrade to a newer model or switch to Nvidia right now.
So… has anyone found good streaming settings with this kind of setup, or am I just stuck streaming like this?
You can't check my Twitch replays if you want to, sorry I'm french.
