Hey!

I've been working around the settings of OBS for quite long time now, we're talking weeks. No matter what I put the settings to, it's bad quality. I've read many posts on this forum, used NVENC and x264. I've changed between HitBox, Twitch and YouTube. No difference in quality.

My final try is with the help of you guys. I hope you can help me towards a result I can stream with, without killing people's eyes.

These are my specs;
Graphics: GTX 970 OC
CPU: i5 - 4690K OC 4.4GHz
RAM: 8GB
Internet connection: 50/10

You're streaming at 1000 Kbps when you have ~8500 Kbps available, and can use up to 3500 Kbps on Twitch. 720p30 and 480p60 at 2000-2500 Kbps should look pretty okay; 720p60 will need all 3500 Kbps for a high motion game like CS:GO to not look a mess. Be aware that using higher bitrates makes it more likely that your viewers will experience playback buffering, so something in the 2000-2500 Kbps range would be a good balance.
 
Strongly advise not exceeding 2000kbps unless you're a Twitch Partner. 720p@30fps, 2000kbps is the 'golden point'.
 
You would be limited to a max of 3500 Kbps with Twitch, with a more realistic goal of ~2000 Kbps to reduce viewer buffering.
