Question / Help Which stream settings would you recommend to keep my latency low?

[GoWithTheFlo]

Hello, I am having some issues to keep my game/teamspeak ping low and have tried a ton of different stream settings.
could someone post me a list of settings i could try out while keeping the highest possible stream quality without affecting my ping.

Here is a list of my network/pc specs

Network:
-Ping 24ms
-DL 25.58Mbps
-UL 2.01Mbps

PC Specs:
i5 3570k 3.4ghz
660GTX ti 2GB DDR5
8GB Ram

I tried alot of settings that people recommend without affecting ping at that upload speed but nothing seems to keep my ping below 50 without having to put my resolution at 480p and my bitrate at like 750

Any help would be nice but A full list of settings would be awesome

Thanks anyways

get this. run it for your local continent (i.e. US or EU...) take the bitrate from whatever ingest gives you the highest "quality" (not ping) and set your OBS at 80% of that upload speed.

i.e. you get 75% quality to dallas and the upload it shows is 1200 kbitrate. 80% of 1200 is 960 so use 960 kbitrate in the bitrate buffer window of OBS.

depending on the what the 80% of the bitrate you get will vary on what resolution would look best, but based on what you are saying, more than likely 480p @ 30fps sounds about your max with 750 bitrate.


EDIT: Also set your audio bitrate to 64kb/s so your video has more room.

you might also try using low network impact form the advanced menu, but it is not recommended unless you absolutely have to. your stream will suffer from using this but your game/teamspeak will be fine.

The thing I don't get is that the twitch help guide says use 70%-80% of you're bandwith and it should be fine
So how come that from the 1970 bitrate I have I have to go below 1 to have a good ping yet other people with the same internet speed can stream at way higher then 750bitrate

Network traffic varies so something between you, your ISP and twitch there is an issue. 80% is an estimate so your dont saturate your upload. in this case, its probably your ISP is throttling you or they have excessive traffic to or from twitch and there is a bottleneck. contact one or all of the following:

your ISP (best choice)
twitch on twitter (if ISP isn't finding the issue)
