Question / Help Recommendations?

This is by far the easiest program to learn, and with great performance. (just wanted to put that out there ;) )

Everything seems to run smooth; the video runs smooth, and the sound is crisp. The only problem that I have is that I would like to squeeze a bit more quality out for the video. Should the game be set to play at the same resolution that OBS is set to stream in?
Here are my specs:
i7 2600k @3.40GHz
AMD Radeon HD6900 Series
Creative SB X-Fi sound card
2 Mb upload :(

My settings are:
Quality Balance 5
Max Bit/Buffer Size 1300
AAC @128 Bitrate
1080X720 @40 FPS
Default audio device (the mic is a bit quiet btw, should I adjust the volume through windows?)
x264 CPU Preset: fast
Normal Multi-threaded Optimizations

1080x720? I never saw that resolution, it's like 15:10? Strange.
Also, drop to 30 fps, it will give you a better quality on low bandwidth.

Silly me, I confused 1080 with 1280. :lol:
I'll try droping the frames to 30, but I can't do the recommended bit rate that the estimator gave me. I tried 1700kb/s and playing online would lag too much. 1200-1500 kb/s was pretty stable; however, I would get some strange lag when trying to walk through doors. Is it true that game capture will perform better on games than window capture?

Thanks for your replies :)

This the result from changing it to 30 FPS and 1280x720: http://www.twitch.tv/gamefreakboy/b/359055644
I forgot to click fit to screen. :? Is this the quality to be expected? I wouldn't know, I just started trying this stuff out yesterday.

Looks pretty good to me. Smooth, decent quality, all you really need to do now is fit to screen :D

One last thing I would recommend is downloading ShaperProbe.
http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~partha/diffpr ... rProbe.exe

The goal of DiffProbe is to detect if an ISP is classifying certain kinds of traffic as "low priority", providing different levels of service for them. DiffProbe actively (and non-intrusively) probes the network path and tries to diagnose the nature and extent of traffic discrimination. This page presents a module of DiffProbe, called ShaperProbe. ShaperProbe tries to answer the question:
Is the ISP shaping my traffic? In other words, is my "connection speed" dropped automatically to a low rate after some time?
We detect traffic shaping, which means that the customer gets a large rate for a certain number of bytes, and then the rate is dropped automatically to a lower value. If a user gets rate limited for certain time periods, he/she can detect that observing the capacity estimates given by ShaperProbe.
