Question / Help Streaming Text

[wallop]

Hello guys, I am using this software to stream on twitch.tv. I have some issues with this such as:

I am trying to stream at 720p to 60 FPS downscaled from 2560x1440. I am streaming Dota 2 and i would like to improve how the text looks on the stream, it is a little bit sloppy, especially the one in the top right with fps and such, I can't even distinguish what it even writes there.

Any suggestions for this? thank you.

OBS Settings:

CBR: off
Quality Balance: 10
Max Bitrate: 3000 // Buffer size: 3000
Codec: AAC // 128

As I said earlier, main resolution 2560x1440 but I am streaming at 1280x720 with 60 FPS with the filter Lanczos.
x264 CPU Preset: faster.

example of text issue: http://www.twitch.tv/walloptv/b/408493362 from minute 2-4.

I fear there is not much you can do about the text if you downscale from a resolution that big.
What I do notice tho is that the VOD is definatly not 60FPS, I would be interested in a logfile.
May you provide one? http://obsproject.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=97

EDIT: nvm, it looked better a few minutes into the game, guess you were just alttabbing.

Yes I was alt tabbing to check stuff and when I alt tab my in-game fps drops to 15-20. I understand about the text, I don't think I can stream at 1080p with my current bandwidth.

3000/3000 is sufficient for 1080p. I usually do that for Dota2.

Okay, thank you guys for the replies.

There is one other thing, I can't find the 1080p in my downscale options and I doubt I can stream 60fps at 1080p

What version of OBS are you using?
You could aswell just put 1920x1080 for the base resolution. Only thing you need to do then is to tick the option 'fit to screen' for the dota2 source.

Latest version. Okay, I will try to do that.
