I wouldnt stream @1080p without 6+mbit up and a great CPU, such as the 3930k (6 core) in order to dedicate 2 cores to starcraft 2, and allow the other 4 to encode at a really slow preset, for much higher quality, and much less degredation in high action scenes.

A lot of people stream @1080p, but ive never seen it done without quite notable blurring and sometimes stuttering during 200/200 battles with shit getting thrown around, the exception being probably Destiny's stream, but i cant watch that @1080 with 7mbit download because it is aparantly insufficient.

The 6 core would allow you to dedicate 4 cores to encoding instead of 2, and result in much better quality for much lower bitrate output

Sup guys. Here's my stream. http://nl.twitch.tv/playhemtv/b/300096838
I use an x4 980BE overclocked to 4.0. 4gb mem (1333mhz), and a 6950 2gb.

I am upgrading to an i5 2500k and 8gb 1600mhz with a 6950. Because I am not happy with how my stream looks. Too choppy in general, low fps during SC2 (quality 8 I stream on btw 1080p) when on high settings. But I usually get very good feedback on how my stream looks.

Hey nice, how good is your upload?

Looking to get that CPU.

for destiny 1080p stream you need around 800-900kbit download, for most others 300-400kbit are enought.

Thats the difference why his one rox and the others stutter.

My upload is 15mbps on speedtest.net My advice:

DONT GET AN AMD TO STREAM WITH.

Maybe the new bulldozer ones, but imo the 70$ extra for an i5 2500k is EASILY worth it.
