Hi guys, i have some questions about OBS. Some streamers like : Phantoml0rd , Dyrus has perfect quality on stream. Its in full HD and no buffering at all. I have a really good computer : Intel Core i5 3570K, GTX 680 but i can stream just in 1080p and 720p resolution with 3500 bitrate ( good but not perfect ). So how can i stream in quality like that ?

You should probably find out what kind of hardware and settings they use to stream. We don't have a way to know that.

Powerful hardware plays a large part because it allows you to perform more compression on the stream (i.e. fit more quality into a limited amount of bandwidth). PhantomL0rd's profile actually says he runs an i7-4960X, which runs about $1000 by itself. He also plays League of Legends, which is much easier to stream at high quality due to the relatively low amount of motion. Higher motion games like first person shooters will look worse.

By the way, you are streaming in pretty quality too.. what settings are u using ?

I use a second PC with a capture card to encode my stream, the specs are in my Twitch profile. Settings vary based on the game I'm playing and the resolution/frame rate I'm streaming at.

Okay, so if i got it. If my stream is buffering, its not my fault. Other streamers are not buffering coz they are on better servers. Is it like that ?
