Hello everybody I've been streaming for a few months and absolutely love it! Here is my twitch http://www.twitch.tv/silverplaysgames. I stream mostly Minecraft and FPS games.
Now the problem. I moved, last night. I immediately set up my PC and ran a speed test. Here are the results.
These are my PC specs:
Intel i5-2500k base clock
MSI GeForce GTX 650 Ti
GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-D3H
WD Caviar Black 1TB
Here are my New OBS settings(after ready a bunch of these threads and trying to figure it out on my own):
Encoding:
Encoder: x264
Use CBR: checked
Max Bitrate: 871kb/s
Enable CBR padding: checked
Use Custom Buffer Size: checked
Custom Buffer Size: 522
Codec: AAC
Bitrate: 128
Format: 44.1kHz
Channel: stereo
Video:
Custom: 1920x1800
Aspect Ratio: 16:9
Resolution Downscale: 2.00(960x540)
Filter: Bilinear
FPS: 30
Disable Aero: unchecked. I never screen cap just pull form game source.
Advanced:
Use Multithreaded Optimizations: checked
x264 CPU Preset: medium(feel like my games run slower now)
Encoding profile: main
Keyframe Interval: 2
Use CFR: checked
This is from OBS Settins Estimator
Here is test video using these settings. http://www.twitch.tv/silverplaysgames/b/538660707 Sorry for the sound echo
If you have the time any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have really gotten into this streaming thing and don't want to have to stop for three months until I move back.

CPU Advice
Game Advice
- Set FPS to 30
Network Advice
- Try to aim for the highest bitrate possible for high motion games
- Use game capture if possible for maximum performance.
- Use window capture with Aero enabled if game capture is unavailable.
- Your upload speed is sufficient for 480p / 720p
- Considering lowering your buffer size and/or bitrate if you experience in-game latency
- Enable CFR for compatibility with streaming services
- Enable CBR for improved stream stability
- Recommended max bitrate: 871
- Recommended buffer size: 522
