Question / Help What is the best settings for streaming CSGO?

I'm really interested in what other people's settings are as well. I tried it once, but it's really tricky to get right without having a massive bitrate. And without being a twitch partner, it will lag for a lot of people.
There should be like a database in where people can upload their configuration and vote for how good it works for a specific game or something. :#

The reason why no one posts their own individual setups is because not everyone has identical setups and what works for one person many not work for you. For example, my Setups would make your computer scream "HELP ME, I CAN'T BREATHE!".
On a side note, that Estimator is about as good as it gets, Streaming is all about trial and error.
Anyway, Twitch doesn't like users going above 3500-4000 bitrate. I don't know which server is closest to you but It might be wise to ping to that server and see what your upload rate is to the closest streaming server available to you. Your custom buffer size should probably stay UNCHECKED but if you don't mind a second or two delay, you can set your buffer to 1.5x-2x your Bitrate. It'll yield better quality.
You've got an i5 Sandybridge, so try using the Veryfast Preset. Check your Process % and your FPS, if you've got room, try the Faster setting and repeat the process.
Make sure CBR is CHECKED, CFR CHECKED. Downscale to 720P@60FPS with the Lanczos filter.
Other than that, there is not much we can help you with. There is the custom settings parameters but it is probably best that you research and see what does what. Custom Settings is more about fine tuning to your own specific streaming setup. Don't mess with it if you don't know what they do.
As said though, a lot of trial and error and just in general, testing.

Amsterdam is overloaded at the moment because All London traffic is being redirected there. I'd try a different EU server. Some people have said that Frankfurt is alright lately.
The Lanczos filter provides a better quality downscale at the cost of a bit more CPU usage.
