My question is even at 720p the stream doesnt look clear. On FPS games the movement is blurry. Any feedback to make it look better would be great :)

Thanks Guys
 
yea 1200 bitrate @ 720p is not enough for FPS games to deliver a clear picture. Since your max Upload is 4k and if you are not using CBR(it might degrades the picture quality) the bitrate might spike at times (which could increase your ping , give you lagspikes ingame and would make you lose frames = laggy stream). So i would suggest setting your bitrate and buffer to the same value of 3000 and the quality balance to 7 and maybe even lowering your audio bitrate to 92 since most people without a soundcard/good Headset can't hear a difference anyways.

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I will try out all the settings. Once i get a steady 720p stream going i will start testing 1080p

Thanks again guys :)
