Hi all,
at first, I'm sorry about my english but it's not my native language.
I would like to ask you for advices and suggestions from experience about streaming and using OBS. I had "old" PC where I was streaming (still have but not used very often). For my opinion with the configuration of old PC the stream quality was more than sufficient. Now I have a new PC but I can't find better settings than I had on my old PC. So the output video looks same. That's what is quite annoying for me and I'm sad because new PC is more powerful in performance.
The old and new PC configuration with OBS setting is in table below.
Mostly I'm streaming WoW or LoL (yeah I like MMORPG and MOBA games). Sometimes some of single player (Assassin's Creed, Rocksmith 2014) or multiplayer games (ARMA III, PayDay 2 etc.). Now I focus for WoW settings (because It's base settings for me).
According to OBS settings posted above I create a table how streaming loads PC.
As you can see, my new PC is not in load. If I try to change preset in "Advanced" from "Veryfast" to "Faster" I noticed a really very small change on output (on Twitch) video, but CPU usage was quite bigger. It's not big deal for my PC (rather it's not any problem), but ration between "better looking video" and "PC load" is not very advantageous.
If needed I can show you two video examples (on old and new PC). The quality looks same. But I'm not satisfied with it. Also I can show you changes between preset settings.
I hoped that with new PC the performance but also quality of output video will be much better.
I tried to use NVENC codec. The quality (on "Hight Quality", "Hight Quality Low Latency" settings etc.) was also low. In my opinion much lower than using settings I described above. The only one nice setting with NVENC was "Lossless". Output video looks nice but upload 8000-9000 Kb/s not. Not because my upload but because it's not "viewable" for watchers.
I was thinking about some way how to use "Global source". Theoretically for example: using Nvidia Shadowplay for capturing WoW screen. The output video file used as "Global source" and streaming via this video file in realtime. It could make a little bit more time delay between game/live stream but it could do a good job because Shadowplay don't have any load on PC. But I really don't know how to set this (if is even possible).
So I would like to ask you guys how to make output Quality much better according to my new PC. I know you have much experience in all kind of settings.
Thank you very much.
Have a nice day.
