like you, ive tried with my 0.6 up and its awful. sometimes clear but high latency, or not clear and still high latency. | ||

Btw. there's an excellent guide with some very good upload estimates written by R1CH here although the numbers are a bit on the high side imo. | ||

At which point is there lag noticed for players that have around 3MB upload speed? | ||

What is the recommended upload speed to set the broadcaster to to get the best quality image, with reduced lag. At which point is there lag noticed for players that have around 3MB upload speed? You can do 1080p with your bandwidth provided your hardware is top of the line. Generally a 1080p would require about 3-5 Mbps, but you can tweak it so it fits. Some even go under 3 mbps, but then quality really starts to get hurt imho. Your second question is unclear to me. I don't get what you mean by reduced lag. For the first part, the higher bitrate the better quality. | ||

But 3 will cause me to lag in battle.net [if I'm doing large team games] Your game lag is not due to the higher bitrate though. SC2 uses very little bandwidth (less than 150 kbps), and assuming no other apps than SC2 and XSplit are running, there will be no difference in your game play whether using 2 or 3 Mbps for streaming of your available 3.5 Mbps upload. What may influence your game experience is your CPU as well as the resolution you stream in, because streaming 1080p is seriously more intensive than 720p. Streaming 1080p in team games is almost impossible to due without lag (CPU limitation, not bandwidth). To minimize the input lag, try using a 3rd party capture driver such as DXTory (search for the thread) and you'll see and feel that the ingame lag almost disappears. But there's no way your game will lag due to bandwidth limitation with +500 kbps available. You haven't told me your hardware specs - if you do that, I will be glad to help you out with some settings (post information like this: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=11889002),). Also, a high bitrate 720p will look better than a low bitrate 1080p (resolution isn't eveything). | ||
