Question / Help Quality and resolution

[borrVomir]

Firstly, since it's my first post here, hi everyone ;)
And now the question ;)
Currently I'm running stream at 720px downscaled from 1080p @40fps and about 2500 bitrate.
But video seems be pixelated, and I'm wondering, if would help run games etcetre from 720p? or maybe I'll just set in OBS resolution to 720p without downscale, and adjust video input size to window?

Thanks in advice :)

If you have a 1080p input and want to stream in 720p, it's better to use the downscale option rather than change your base resolution.

What game are you streaming? 2500 bit rate at 720p40 sounds pretty decent. Do you have a VOD to demonstrate?

for example Path of Ecile - http://pl.twitch.tv/borrvomir/b/360140743

In full screen my streams sucks, and i dont know why :( They're blurry nad pixelated. But in small window it looks nice...

It looks perfectly normal. You have unrealistic expectation for that bitrate.

Yeah, if you want better quality, you just need to up the bitrate a little more. However, keep in mind that in games where the full scene is in motion a lot, pixelation will be practically unavoidable.
