Recommended streaming settings?

[Queen]

Hey,
I'd like to start to stream on Twitch. I have tried several programs even OBS.
I had issues with OBS, but now I'm going back and hope I can get help which settings I should use.

CPU TYPE: AMD FX(tm)-4300 Quad-Core Processor
CPU SPEED: 3.82 GHz
VIDEO CARD MODEL: AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series ( AMD Radeon 7950 3G)
VIDEO CARD MEMORY: 4.29 GB
RAM: 16GB
DESKTOP RESOLUTION: 1920x1080
Download Speed: 56.93 MBps
Upload Speed: 10.19 MBps

 

Download Speed: 56.93 MBps
Upload Speed: 10.19 MBps

Your ISP is very strange, that's a crazy ratio. Your DL should be higher if your UL is that high.

I've tested OBS and it worked fine, what issues are you having?
How many monitors do you have?
What are you streaming?

Not true for the ISP.

I have 120 down, 25 up. Same ratio of down/up



Anyways, to OP: you just need to toy with your settings to find what works best. When I initially set up OBS, I spent 3-4 hours fine tuning.

Set your bitrate to 2000-2500 range, resolution down scale to 720p, and everything else just toy with until you find what works for your rig.

Source: I'm a partnered streamer and have been doing it awhile.

Just as a side note to back his kind of thing up, my school's net was like 110 up and 95 down. It just kinda depends on the connection in general.

Thank you, and yeah. I have watched your streams before! ^_^

I have been trying out different settings now, but this is the current quality http://www.twitch.tv/reindeerman/b/557334652 Is it possible to get it better?

That quality is amazing. Any better and you'll have 75% of the people who try to watch complaining about lag.

Thanks! I just messed around in the settings for a bit and found it!

Told you, just takes a little fine tuning.

Seriously though, what's your bitrate/settings?

The quality of that is almost flawless.... It's kind of concerning due to the fact that mine isn't even that good, and a lot of my viewers can't watch on "source"... You may run into a LOT of issues w/ viewers bitching/complaining about lag.

Sorry for it not being in English, I just put something random in there and got the settings.

Yeah, 3500 bitrate is high. You will run into people complaining about lag/not being able to watch.

I run 2500 w/ buffer at 3000 and I used to run into that before I got my partnership (which permanently enables the quality select button)
