yea when i use higher than 3500, obs says that twitch recommends 3500.
Recommended doesn't means max bitrate.
Also since when is that message even a thing?! When i set up OBS for a friend a long time ago it wasn't a thing i think.

As a beginning you should tick "use custom parameter" under VCE and then use the Speed pre-set if 1080p@60FPS.
As Jack already said it won't be perfect but it can work though for now i can only recommend you to stay with 30FPS.
Oh and i recommend you to use VBR since VCE likes that more and makes 1080p@60FPS work better overall i think.
Did not give a positive result, I can where there were mistakes in the settings? Please give screenshots settings for 1080p@60

Blah, release build has some memory allocator issues when exiting.
But for those adventurous souls I uploaded a AMF test debug build if you want to try. It may need newer drivers than Cat 14.4 and possibly Win8 :P It replaces the MFT in this build so just check 'Use AMD AMF instead..' option to use.

Only settings that apply are rate control methods, bitrate/quality balance, buffer size, CBR padding, GOP size, IDR period. Also AMF just uses quality profiles (speed, balanced, quality) but i haven't added them to settings tab yet.

Just tried your AMF build this morning. Amazing. I streamed at 4500 bitrate and buffer at a frame rate of 48fps. I streamed for 1 hour and 40 minutes. The stream was perfect. No rate spikes. No dropped frames. The Twitch dashboard never switched away from 'Excellent' status. Using 14.7 Drivers. Not tried the newer drivers yet.

Sounds good, trying it now.

If I go to encoding, it says i am missing MSVCP120.dll. I tried the 32bit OBS stable it doesn't have the problem/

Try installing vcredist_x64.exe from the internet. It runs fine for me. i've never used the 32-bit editions of OBS though. Only 64bit.

Im also having the same problem with AMF build, the dlls are in my system32 and syswow64 folders, i even tried to add the dll files to obs folder but it doesn't seem to find the dll. Using 64bit os and 64bit obs, and i have windows 8.1 and i have every vcredit installed even the x86 versions, i would like to know where do i need to put that .dll file to get it working..

also using latest beta drivers!

Hopefully it doesn't need win8 heh :P Guess it's time to update to the latest beta driver.

Same here
Out of curiosity, what Driver version are you guys using? I'm still using 14.4 and got the same issue.
And yes i know MSVCP shouldn't be an driver issues but something windows releated but who knows.

This version, which I have been using for several days works fine though: [2014/08/31]
New versions with a lot of new code (New VCE SDK) tend to break things obviously.
Just gotta wait on an solution that hopefully doesn't need heavy things like Win8.

Hmm, on Win 8.1 and Cat 14.6 I also got the MSVCP120D.dll missing error with the AMF debug build ;(

Win 8.1 64bit, Cat 14.7, missing MSVCP120D.dll
Well so much to my theory, thanks anyway guys.

EDIT: Even after adding the MSVCP120D.dll manually from an extern source it's still bitching.
"ObsVCE.dll not found or coul not be loaded" Guess time to wait on Jack as usual heh
