Ever wondered how to stream in decent quality with this bad of internet?

If so, You have come to the correct place!
Requirements:
Internet with around 0.5mb upload, and a medium spec PC.
My PC is:
My PC Specification:
Processor: Intel Core i5 2500K 3.3GHz Socket 1155 Processor
CPU Cooler: Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro rev 2
Memory/RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600Mhz
Graphics Card: Asus GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB GDDR5 Dual DVI Mini HDMI PCI-E
Motherboard: Asus P8Z68-V LX Socket 1155 Onboard graphics output 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard
Hard Drivers: 1TB + 250GB
PowerSupply: OCZ 600W
Anything around that specifications will be fine!
Download Xsplit here: www.xsplit.com
Set up xsplit with the follow settings to your account,

Use 1280x720 resolution and 20 FPS - Set the FPS higher if you want, this is just what works for me.
Heres a example of the quality you will recieve!

Hope this helps, more of my settings for slow upload than a guide, but it works! :D
Have fun,
Any questions ask below!

Why are you using Speex instead of AAC? Audio quality will be terrible.

Big thanks for this Lawsonz, was having trouble with xsplit for a long time regarding quality, this helped me out a bunch <3

I haven't paid for xsplit yet, only codec you can use when you haven't paid for it now

I wouldnt suggest using 720p res on such a low bitrate stream.
I myself used to have a .45 upload speed, i'd stream with 350 bitrate at my resolution scaled down 1/2 (so 800x450 for my 1600x900 resolution game, less pixelation) and it would look pretty good with an fps of 30.
I've recently upgraded to a .8 upload and stream at 600 bitrate and things look fairly good.

Unfortunately, no

hmm my cpu is 2410m, and i already tried those specs..
Sadly because its laptop, its still not smooth unlike urs
I'll have to reduce some bitrates to create like urs.
Thanks for the thread though!

Np glad it kinda helped :D

i offer you my babies lawsonnz
to be on topic, i had a question, does the FPS change affect the bandwidth or CPU?
|
How do you set FPS and resolution?
Edit: Also as someone with a pretty powerful computer, but limited upload speed, what can I change if anything?
Edit2: Nvm I din't realize you meant resolution and frame rate of the xsplit window

A PC with a 2500K is not "a medium spec PC". It's high-end.
And considering your upload speed & CPU, you should be using a slower preset - as slow as possible - as well as overclocking the CPU if haven't already.

Is this possible with internet worse than that?

Fps change will affect CPU more afaik.

You could try but the quality would be worse.

Hm.. I would say its medium-high end.
How does the presets work?
