Question / Help Streamsettings for a PC with 5960x, GTX 980Ti SLI, 32GB RAM etc.

[Rasmus Axelsson]

Hello! Just got my new overkill PC and I'd like to start streaming again. I'm not so sure about which settings to use.
So what do you think? I'll put my specs below.

Specs:
Asus X99-Pro
Intel Core i7 5960X
Corsair 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 2666MHz CL15 Dominator
EVGA GTX 980Ti SLI
Samsung 950-series PRO 512GB M.2 NVMe
Samsung 850-series EVO 1TB

Internet: 30mbit/s download and 11 mbit/s upload.

you need to actually to and stream and post a log. what are you wanting to stream? I would recommend 720@60fps with medium/fast preset depending on game. bitrate 2700-3000 if not partnered, 3500 if partnered.Post your logfile

 

[Rasmus Axelsson]

I am going to stream LoL and CS:GO mostly.
Here's my logfile with like standard settings.

And when I raise my bitrate i often get freeze lags on the stream, and that's annoying to watch.

you cannot stream to twitch at 1440 dude. downscale to 720p. Second, OBS original does not like SLI. either change to OBS Multiplatform and use the multiGPU option in game capture or disable SLI while streaming

 

[Rasmus Axelsson]

As i said I haven't like changed anything. I can just disable SLI, I'm not playing with SLI in LoL or CS:GO anyway because it seems like they don't like that ^^

The thing is that I feel like i always get bad quality on the stream, atleast with my old PC. What should i change to get good? Like good streamers etc.

read above and change the downscale to 720p, restart OBS and stream for 5 then post that logfile. do not watch your own stream while streaming, it takes up CPU and is not an accurate representative of if your viewers are buffering. trust your viewers.

 

[Rasmus Axelsson]

Alright will start it now

 

[Rasmus Axelsson]

Wtf i get like 30fps?

you only recorded for 30 second. please do a full 5 minutes. can you also uncheck all the CLR browser stuff? everything but the game capture. also close everything but the game and OBS during this test.

 

[Rasmus Axelsson]

Will test that!

open up performance monitor and find out what is taking up CPU. the main two should be OBS and your game.

Total frames encoded: 21354, total frames duplicated: 12246 (57.35%)

the above should be no more than 1%.

 

[Rasmus Axelsson]

I know, the game is unplayable atm. Will check

 

[Rasmus Axelsson]

I only use 15-20% of my CPU while streaming but it's lagging as hell, OBS and LoL takes most yes but not that much.
