Question / Help Stream quality looks like filmed with a shitty camera

[Synixer]

ok so i wanted to ask for help here before even thinking about wasting money on xsplit and such.

so i stream osu! league and other games. the stream was fine on my old pc while streaming league of legends. the pc was not good. it was outdated but it worked out ok. now i got my new pc specs:

Asus rog rampage iv black edition MB

asus rog 780Ti

4x hyperx fury 4gb ram (16gb total)

i7 4930k Cpu

now do not think i q.q on a post without trying cause ive been around league forums, obs forums and osu forums trying to edit my settings.

basicly when i stream especially osu. there is no lagg, but the quality looks like it was filmed with a old cellphone camera. its not THAT bad its watchable but compared to other streamers where the stream is similar to how the gamer sees it alot of viewers complain (including me it looks kinda bad...) ive tried alot of different "recommended settings" for
obs the one that work the best right now is this but again... quality is kinda well... "choppy":

my internet connection is also fine. it streams at 2k+ 90% of the time it sometimes drop to 1900

i added tdays log in case it helps.

"17:13:17: (half life scientist) everything.. seems to be in order" i c what u did there.


ps.
[ GPU #0 - < GeForce GTX 780 Ti > has Compute SM 3.5, NVENC Available ] should i enable NVENC?

The answer is simple - streaming 720P 60FPS requires a minimum of 3- 3.5k bitrate to look acceptable.

You have like me (3930K) a hell of a processor, so what you can try to better the stream quality is to use a lower encoding preset like fast or medium. Unlike me (i recently upgraded from a 2,5k to a 6k upload line with my provider) you cant set a higher bitrate, so lowering the preset is the only option you have despite dropping frames to 30.

By lowering the preset always have an eye on aida64 sensors or whatever temp-readout program you use, this can cause massive cpu usage and high temperatures.

Also, set the buffer to be equal to the bitrate and use lanczos filtering instead of bilinear.

the thing is i recently set it at 60. i usually have it at 40-45 but ill try to do as you said and see how it goes

1800 kbps for a 720p @ 60 fps is bound to look like a shitty camera.

well as said before i changed it to 60 tday to see if it would work better. i usually have it at 45 fps

 

[Synixer]

ok so i changed settings. fps is at 30 lanczos filtering instead of bilinear and lowered encoding preset to fast. i also put bitrate at 2k and buffer also at 2k. anyone willing to check and see what you can say about it? maybe how to improve etc
in my opinion it got worse...

if willing to check then thx... http://www.twitch.tv/Synixer

well after trying around again. i knew i had 8mb/s upload so i tried to put bitrate at 3.5k and run 1080p with no downscaling also changing the preset on the encoding back to very fast. now its getting weird cause the stream worked. ofc there was a bit of lagg considering i live on a island when you pay for 8mb/s you get around 5 i guess... but the weird part was. i could almost not see a different between that set up and the one i used when i posted this post. i must be doing something very wrong...

can anyone just recommend some settings based off my pc specs and my connection? cause me messing around like this i seem to get a similar result every time...

Based on that this 5.25k speedtest.net measured there are real you simply could use my settings:

1080p - no downscale - 30fps - lanczos filter - encoding preset: medium - bitrate: 4400.

I stream with those settings and the image quality is really good with them - cpu usage is between 40 and 70% depending on scene (diablo 3 on 3930k gaming and streaming from same machine).

You should see a very huge improvement in stream quality with these settings, even in motion scenes.

If thats not the case then something else is terribly wrong, either with your windows setup, your hardware settings or your inet line.
