Question / Help Setting Suggestion?

Video is private

And you need to post your obs log.

And probably mention which streaming service you plan to use.
 
If you don't have transcoding (twitch partnership) you're basically stuck streaming at 720p30 at 2000kbit video as the upper limit regardless of what your internet connection is capable of.

Above 2000kbit of video and getting progressively worse the closer you get to 3500kbit, viewers get stuck in buffering hell.
 
ok, tried it, for streaming I downgrade to 1080p 30fps 2k bitrate without those settings cuz they're for recording purpouse only, thank you mate, hope it works..
 
I don't think saying 720p30fps is the limit for non-partnered streaming is accurate. The only limit is the bitrate, which shouldn't exceed 2000kbps. If your CPU can handle it, you can do 720p60fps, but if you do that while playing LoL on the same machine it might not look that great. For something like LoL I don't think you need more than 30fps for your stream, so I'd say 1080p30fps for highest resolution (lower quality in high-motion scenes, but better quality overall because you don't need to scale), or 720p30fps for a prettier image. If you want the very most prettiest image possible you could play LoL in 720p and stream in that so you don't lose any quality or performance to the scaling process.

Picture quality will suffer if you try to go above 720p30 at 2000kbit.

At least with any of the faster presets, that's why I said it won't look too great if he expects to play LoL on the same machine. Your original post made it sound like twitch employed some arbitrary limit of 720p30fps, which is not the case.

Also, trying 720p60fps with the slowest preset his CPU can handle might not even be a bad idea, if the quality is acceptable for him that's all that matters. If it were me I'd do the same thing you're suggesting and not go above 720p30fps at that bitrate, though. Even 1080p30fps is going to suffer in high-motion scenes on anything that isn't a stream-box.
 
Looks good, if your CPU can handle that and you like it I don't see anything wrong with the setup.

Just be warned that 2700kbps is slightly high. Viewers with particularily bad internet might experience frequent buffering with that, but most should be fine. I guess it depends a bit on your target audience, too.
