Question / Help What Settings?

Phrings · Mar 15, 2013

Ok so the other night i was streaming just fine and i tried yesterday with the same settings ingame and in OBS and I was dropping frames like crazy. I just have a question what settings should i use with my computer specs I was trying 720p @60fps 2500 bit rate with a quality balance of 3 and WoW on High settings. my specs for my comp as follows
CPU: i7 3770k
GPU: ATI 7950
RAM: 16gb
MOBO: ASUS Maximus V Formula
PSU: 850W

My net speed is 26 down 6 up
I should also mention I usually run Pandora and Skype when i stream and i stream to twitch.tv.

Thanks in advance and any help is greatly appreciated as i'm new to this and this just baffles me.

one thing that you should definitely do in this situation is to try streaming to another server.

change the audio to aac 96 and don't use cfr unless you're having trouble loading video's to an editing software.

Phrings · Mar 16, 2013

Thank you for the quick response time and the help. i'll try the settings you recommended next time i stream and should i only use a different server if it lags for me? Or should i always use a different server than the Chicago one?

Haliinen · Mar 16, 2013

Since you're streaming in 60 fps, you may want to try turning off "multithreaded optimizations" to see if your stream gets any smoother in advanced settings.

Question / Help What Settings?
