@Monkeypuzzle The encoder settings should all be in line with Twitch's requirements. CBR rate control, 2 second keyframe interval, main profile, etc. I did use a bitrate of 3500 to try and compensate for the poorer compression of the hardware encoder compared to x264, though we recommend 2000-2500 to help mitigate viewer buffering. I also used OBS Studio since OBS Classic is no longer in development. If you plan to use NVENC I recommend doing the same since Classic's NVENC implementation has some audio sync issues right now.
I don't think 1080p would look very good within Twitch's bitrate limits (720p30 already didn't look very good at max bitrate), though if you were going to stream to a service like YouTube Gaming then you can of course crank it up to 9 or 12 Mbps or whatever it is they allow.
@Sapiens Thank you very much for the reply. One last question, please. What is that little app you used to measure performance while you were recording?
It's a plugin for G-series LCD keyboards (and the G13) called LCDSirReal. Super useful for performance monitoring. It has a "test" mode that renders it to a window and I just window captured that when I need to have it displayed.
