I've been trying around to stream for a long time already. But my quality is always meh :X

PC Specs:
  • CPU: i7 4770k @ Stock
  • CPU Cooler: Thermalright HR-02 Macho
  • Motherboard: Asrock H87 PRO4
  • GPU: Gigabyte GTX 770 Windforce 3x OC
  • RAM: 16GB DDR3
Stream Settings:
  • VBV Max Bitrate (kbps): 2500
  • VBV Buffer (kbit): 2600
  • Resolution: 1920x1080
  • Downscale: 1280x720(50%)
  • CPU Preset: faster
  • Codec: X.264
  • FPS: 60
Example:

http://www.twitch.tv/itazuraa/c/4009989

It's kinda lagging even when i do have 101 FPS Ingame and the quality is shit.
It's even shit in other games like in Arma3 which you can see in my Past Broadcasts.

Internet Upload is 6.25mb up btw.

Hope someone could help me to improve my Stream. :)

Regards,

The video you posted looks fine for me. Not sure why you think it looks like "shit"? at 720p, you cant get any better then what you have now. And im assuming your talking about ingame lag? That can all come down to whatever ping you have on a server your trying to play on. Unless your congesting your own network with uploading at 2500kbps and trying to play on a server thats not necessarily close to you. Have any logs to post from OBS?

Ah ok, in that case, it might be cpu spikes considering your using a Faster Preset. Have you ever monitored your CPU usage while streaming and playing? If there are CPU spikes that, say, go above 80%, that might explain the lag your seeing with the recordings. Does it do the same thing with a different preset like Very Fast? I'd def take a look at your Task Manager -> Performance and make sure your CPU can actually handle the preset your using now. Cause i doubt its your internet at all, but an encoding issue, esp at 60fps

Are you using monitor capture or something? Pretty sure I saw a hint of that at the beginning of the video. Game capture will perform mucho better. Yeah it's a little stutter happy, but the quality looks great though.

Hard to guess with no log and all.

You really need to post a log next time you need help, just saying :) It makes it far easier to spot any problems you might be having.
