Question / Help Question about my CPU

[aRneeS]

I have i5 2500 cpu, gtx 960 graphic card, 8 gb ram.

With this components, should I stream 1920x1080 30fps?

I have been trying to set my settings but i cant find the better way.

you've be much better to downscale to 720p@30fps. 1080@30 can be very taxing on an older i5.

either way, post a logfile with you streaming for 5 minutes.

So here's the thing, 1080@30 2500 bitrate with superfast preset will look like garbage unless you are streaming a static image. movement will look horrible
downscaling 720@60 2500 with veryfast preset will look better but still pretty bad.

Ideally, you downscale to 720@30fps and with 2500 bitrate should look great and be very watchable to all viewers. plus, you can drop your CPU preset down below veryfast and have an even better looking stream, just watch your CPU usage. that would be something to experiment with and will work better for some games but not others.

Thank you dping ! I'm going to test it right now.

finally I used NVENC technology and this was the final result.

So is it to your liking if not, what is wrong (I cannot view twitch from here). please update a new log to go along with that stream.
