Hi Everyone!
I started recently (a month and a half ago-ish) my channel on twitch, Hiken Studio, and after a rather dissapointing experience with Xsplit, I decided to give OBS a go, and I must admit it works like a charm. Now that I did something along the lines of 30 streams, I am trying to improve things for my viewers, and my quest for quality has just begun!
I understand that most people recommend x264 over NVENC for quality, but then, I would like to know which would be the best settings, the bitrate at 3500 should be the most appropriate (I already got my stream resolutions activated), and now I am wondering about the encoder of the CPU, seems like the "slower" one would have the best quality over the "ultrafast", but you need a more sturdy CPU?
My current rig is:
-i7 7700k
-16 Gb Ram (Ballistix, I think)
-GTX 1080 Ti
I know the 4-core aren't the best for streaming, I didn't really thought it through when I bought it, but do you guys think this will be enough to be streaming in 720p60 (even 900p60) at best of best quality?
Thanks for your help!!
