Need help with best settings with my specs

[Thrux]

Hi,

I’d like to ask for some help with optimizing my OBS settings for streaming dynamic games.

My specs:
- GPU: RX 7600 8GB OC
- CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X
- RAM: 16 GB

I mainly stream fast-paced games like Last Epoch, World of Warcraft, etc., and I’m struggling with image quality during motion — especially noticeable blurring when there’s a lot of movement (combat, fast camera turns, etc.).

What would be the best OBS settings (bitrate, encoder, preset, etc.) to:
- minimize motion blur,
- maintain good quality in fast scenes,
- and get the best possible result on Twitch?

Also worth mentioning: H.265 (HEVC) via GPU isn’t an option since Twitch doesn’t support it, so I’m sticking with H.264.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

I’d stick with 6000 bitrate on CBR and a 2 second keyframe interval, and use either AMD H.264 or x264 veryfast depending on which looks better on your setup. I’d also drop the output resolution to 936p or even 720p since that usually fixes the blurry fast movement way better than trying to force 1080p through Twitch’s bitrate limit. And I’d make sure your GPU isn’t sitting at 100 percent in game because that can tank OBS quality during heavy fights.
