Hey all. SO I've been messing around with this OBS and all my new streaming gear for the past week or so and I am starting to get the hang of it. Basically I thought I'd share some video and a log with you and ask you guys your opinions on how it looks and if there is anything I can do to make it look better. Oh, and my setup is with an Elgato hd60 Pro and I'm pumping a X1/PS4 into it so right now there's plenty of overhead in my cpu. No dedicated graphics card though.
While doing this last stream (my son was playing) I messed around with the bit rate. From 4500 to 3000 to 6000. It was very clear that the higher the bit rate the better the quality of the video. Is 6000 ok? I wasn't dropping any frames in obs and I wasn't skipping any frames while reviewing the feed on twitch so this should be ok right? I heard somewhere that 6000 is the limit if you want to make sure none of your viewers deal with any buffering issues.
So here's the video from twitch and the log. You can clearly see when I change the bit rates.Sorry the video is so long. The bit rate changes are near the end of the video.

Also the load on my cpu only seems to be getting up to around 19-20% Would putting more load on the cpu (since it's not doing anything else) improve the quality of the stream somehow?
Thank you all for taking the time to check this out!
