Question / Help What resolution can I stream at?

[heyzeus023]

I have a quick question.

I was wondering at what resolution I could stream with this setup:

Processor: AMD FD8350FRHKBOX FX-8350 FX-Series 8-Core Black Edition

Graphics card: EVGA GTX 980 SC ACX 2.0 4 GB GDDR5

Motherboard: ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD

2 SSDs: Samsung 850 EVO 1TB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-75E1T0B/AM)

HDD: HGST Deskstar NAS 3.5-Inch 4TB 7200RPM SATA III 64MB Cache Internal Hard Drive Kit (0S03664)

Power supply: Corsair RM Series 1000 Watt ATX/EPS 80PLUS Gold-Certified Power Supply - CP-9020062-NA RM1000

RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 32GB Kit (8GBx4) DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) CL9 @1.5V UDIMM 240-Pin Memory BLS4KIT8G3D1609DS1S00 (I get a TON of RAM because I do a million things at once and I never want it to slow down. Just getting 32 so I never have to worry about it)

Case: Cooler Master HAF 912 - Mid Tower Computer Case with High Airflow

I don't really care to game in 4K (1080p would be just fine) but I want to go ahead and get something that will last me for many, many years.

I suppose that I would like to have the capabilities to achieve a 1440p resolution, but because I want to get into streaming, 720p would be just fine (until 1080p becomes the norm).

But what resolution could I max out at with this set up? And does everything seem compatible? I'm willing to pay in order for my games to run smoothly, look great, and stream at a nice resolution.

Also, I'd like to record while I'm streaming and have enough room to hold some videos as well as being able to edit them quickly after I'm done streaming (I just use a couple of free video editors; WMM is usually what takes the longest when it comes to compressing the file).

I've seen people with similar setups run 720@60fps with faster preset, 3500bitrate and it looks great. tbh, you just need to try it out and see what can be tweaked. post your logfile after you stream and we'll help you optimize your setup (if possible)

It really depends on the game. If it's a CPU heavy game, like World of Warcraft for instance, then you will be very limited in what you can do since you're using an AMD CPU. You are, however, using an NVIDIA GPU, so you could use NVENC to achieve a decent stream. I'd say using NVENC, you could produce a pretty consistant 720p60fps stream for pretty much any game. Make sure your internet connection is good enough for a 3500 bitrate though. You will want that as a minimum for a good quality 60fps stream
