I have been looking for some really good OBS settings for some time now and i have yet to find something that works and looks really good.


My Specs-
i7 3770k @ Stock Speeds [Mobo isnt OC friendly]
GTX 660ti SC edition by EVGA
8 Gb Of Ram
H100i Water Cooler
Avermedia Live Gamer HD.
Internet Speeds- 45 up and 6 Down.

I really want to run 720p60fps. So if anyone has really good setting hmu :)

Just letting you know even with cheap Z77 board you can overclock. For example boards like ASRock Z77 Pro3 don't like rising the voltage because of weak VRM and bad mosfet cooling. BUT they can overclock at stock voltages. Most of the Ivys can be overclocked to 4 - 4,2GHz with stock voltages. For example my 3570k runs 4,2GHz at stock voltages 100% stable. And my friend's 3770k at 4,1GHz. So bad boards with weak VRMs are not stopping you from oveclocking your CPU as far as you run at stock voltages and have overclockable board with chipset like Z77. :p

Run a 6MB test at http://testmy.net/upload please; the listed rates sound like both 'marketing speak' for dead-file transfers (which can peak and drop without harm, while livestreaming REQUIRES a baseline steady/stable throughput rate), and backward... 45mbps upload and 6 download?
More likely the other way around, and actually getting quite a bit less than a full 6mbps.

After you have your ACTUAL baseline throughput, go here and plug all the numbers in: https://obsproject.com/estimator
It'll give you good settings to start with; from there, it's all trial and error to see what you can get stably with no dropped/lagged frames, and not CPU choking the game you're playing at the same time.

Also, fair warning, the Avermedia card will do precisely two things for you unless you're streaming gameplay from a console:
-Jack
-S**t

To use the on-board hardware encoding (which looks like half-baked ass, to be frank) you have to use their software (lets you add a microphone I think, but no scenes/overlays/webcams); OBS can't 'hook' it to offload any CPU processing time.
