SOLVED SOLVED SOLVED SOLVED SOLVED SOLVED
Hello there, I've been streaming on Twitch for a few months now and up until last week I used xsplit to do so, but the quality was never great and the fact that game capturing wasn't possible with the free version of it made me jump over to OBS.
I have quite good internet 90mbit up- and download speed, so the bandwith can not be a problem for me personally. My speccs might not be the very best, but they have never been a problem and I have no problems playing all games on the highest settings whilst running a dual monitor set up.
Here it goes:
i7 950 clocked at 3.6
8Gb RAM at 2200Mhz
Radeon HD 5850 Black Edition (Probably the weakest link in this story?)
The first settings I ran were 3500/3500 Bitrate and Buffersize, full resolution 1920x1080 at 30 fps and CBR checked, those setting worked lagfree on my end with not a single frame dropped over about 1.5 hours of gaming (League of Legends if that matters) and if I turned the stream on on a different PC here at home it would run smooth (I'm assuming this is because of the internet being sufficient?). However the viewers did complain about lag spikes quite frequently. I tried lowering the Bitrate/buffer down step by step and it became lagfree for them at about 1500/1500 but at that point the motion on screen would get pixelated/blurry for viewers. And that is what upsets me, since I have a friend streaming at this quality with no more than 900/900 Bitrate/Buffer and that doesn't lag or get blurry.
Any help on how to get the stream going in that quality without viewers getting lag? Or any good set up for 720+p that would work in case it's my graphics?
Thanks in advance!
