Question / Help Need help with optimization ( artifacts and overall quality )

[Samath24]

Hi !

As title says, it seems I have an artifact issue while recording, plus the overall is quite bad. I guess you don't need my specs since I assume they're in the logs. Here they are : https://gist.github.com/anonymous/43baca2bc5fa05a27173

If you need a sample of my stream, you can find it here : http://www.twitch.tv/samath24/b/528746779 ( no sound, it's intended. Tested it prior, it was fine ).
Speedtest, just in case : http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3500666881.

What should I do ?

Thank you in advance !

Your upstream bandwidth is far too low to stream at 1280x1024 with any sort of decent quality. Downscale your stream resolution under Settings > Video. You probably won't be able to go higher than 360p or 480p without having bad compression artifacts.

Thank you for your fast reply.

I followed your advice and downscaled the stream resolution to 2.25 ( 568x454 ) and it's the best deal I found between quality and latency. Now my stream looks fine ! Thank you :)
