Question / Help Stream Settings

[Po5eidoN]

Hey everyone

I'm looking to get into streaming. I'm a partnered streamer because I play Gears of War competitively and my team is sponsored by twitch. I'm looking for the best settings for a 720p60fps stream. Below is my internet and equipment.

CPU: Intel I7 4790K (OC'd to 4.7)
RAM: 16gb 2400 speed
Motherboard: Asus maximus hero vii
Capture card: El Gato HD60 Pro
Internet 30/30

I'm located in Seattle so I assume I just use the Seattle server.

Base/canvas resolution should match what you're capturing, downscale to 1280x720, set FPS at 60, set bitrate at the lowest value that you find to give acceptable quality (3500 Kbps or less for Twitch), encoder at x264, preset at fast or medium since the PC isn't having to run the game.
