Question / Help Stream quality Worse after last Update

[thereckless]

After updating my OBS i noticed and a few others informed me that my quality had gotten worse. I check back into older vods on twitch and it was really a difference between the two. i think the update might of re set my settings. is there anyway i can get the setting back?.
Here is a Older VOD Before i updated http://www.twitch.tv/reckrunsthis/c/5473685

This is a vod with updated OBS http://www.twitch.tv/reckrunsthis/b/592192496

for whatever reason you are using those settings on an i7 4770 while playing wow

1. 23:14:35: Video Encoding: x264
2. 23:14:35: fps: 60
3. 23:14:35: width: 1280, height: 720
4. 23:14:35: preset: ultrafast
5. 23:14:35: profile: main
6. 23:14:35: keyint: 120
7. 23:14:35: CBR: yes
8. 23:14:35: CFR: yes
9. 23:14:35: max bitrate: 2000
10. 23:14:35: buffer size: 2000

this pretty much leads into shit quality since you are using the fastest (worst) preset when it comes to quality combine it with only 2k bitrate and 720p60


use veryfast preset, if you are only playing wow you probably can even use medium preset with that cpu (fast for 100%)

if you dont have any more upload to spare, or you are setting it to 2000 due to the bad twitch server rooting for unpartnered streamers then go ahead and also reduce the fps



btw you cant really compare those two vods since the first one which "looks better" has way less details than your seconds vod where everywhere around you are grass details which consumes a hell
