Hi,

I was wondering what should I put on max bitrate and buffer size. Ive looked on one of your recommendation but your upload only show kbps, theres no Mbps. thats why I need help with this. I tested from speedtest:



its mbps, instead of kbps.

my computer spec: (just in case if you need to know)
Alienware X51

Monitor: 1440 x 900
specs: Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601
Nvidia Geforce GTX 660
Harddrive: 2 TB
memory ram: 8 gb
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.4GHz

so, what should I put max bits and buffer? the size of resolution downscale? FPS is at 30 by default. As for Server, I choose New York, NY for steaming. (Is it good idea? or should I use Global Load balancing service?) is there anything else should I check mark on?

Thanks for helping. ^_^

1 Mbps is equal to 1024 kbps (or 1000 kbps, depending on how you count). So you have around 1900 kbps upload.

Depending on what game you're streaming, that might not be enough for a 900p stream. I recommend putting Max bit rate at 1500 kbps and turning on CBR, and running the stream at 1280x720 at the most, maybe lower.
