Question / Help Need some advice on Bitrate/Preset for streaming CS:GO 720p

[deftytv]

Currently, I'm streaming on 1280x720[720P @ 60fps].
But from what I heard, non-partners do not get any benefit at all for streaming at 60fps as it'll still look like 30fps?(correct me if I'm wrong).

My current bitrate is 3500 and I'm on Medium Preset(i7 2600k @ 4.0GHz).
I haven't felt any fps drop at all while playing the game. Capped in-game FPS at 120 and it has been there all the time.

Now I would like to ask, what is a good Bitrate/Preset/FPS for a high motion game like CS:GO?

Is 720P @ 60FPS with 3500 Bitrate, Medium Preset good?
Or should I drop to 30FPS and lower my preset more?

and is it recommended to use Nvidia NVENC ? or should I untick that.

Cheers.

Non partners can stream at 60fps no problem. But if you're not a partner, or don't have the quality change option on your channel, you should lower the bitrate to around 2500kb/s because not everyone can load your stream at 3500.

If I were to drop my FPS to 30 and go 2500KB/s , would it be much pixelated on stream? I assume going 2500kb/s on 60fps would produce a pixelated stream.

I would actually recommend to just do a test recording of 5 min each, using both fps settings to test. It depends a lot on the game, and what you actually do, so alot of movement in the game is a good test, static pictures are not :)

how are you running csgo on 720p60 with medium preset? with an i7 2600k @ 4ghz?

i mean i can barely do 720p60 on fast preset and my cpu usage is already around 90% and medium is actually a huge step up. and im running an i7 2700k @ 4.5ghz

Jack0r - Alright, I'll do a test for it. Cheers.

alpinlol - Not sure man. I haven't been getting any fps drop(nothing below 120fps, when streaming at medium preset I would say).
