Hello, I just recently started streaming and found this guide very helpful, still im unsure what to have my settings on.

My PC :

I5 35770K
gtx 580
16gb ram
SSD HDD


My current settings in Xplit :

Preset XSplit Default
Quality 8
VBV Max Bitrate (Kbs) 1500 Buffer 1500
Resulution detault stage resolution
Format 44.100 khx Codec AAC LC
Bitrate 80000

My INTERNET
[image loading]

With this settings i get :

Average data rate: 1349 kbps.
Dropped frames: 134
Your bandwidth to server is probably not sufficient.
You can redo the test, but if the test consistently gives you a RED signal, you may consider lowering your combined audio bitrate and max video bitrate to below 1580 kbps.

Can any1 help me with this?

@yaeger,
In your channel settings, change your Location setting away from 'default' (assuming you use that value) and select either Amsterdam, London or Frankfurt. Repeat bandwidth test. It should give you a green light after that.
Secondly, what resolution are you streaming at? If 720p, I'd highly recommend to up the bitrate to around 2200 kbps for better stream (image) quality. Also up the audio bitrate to 128K. You have the bandwidth for it.

hm, I have not changed the location from default, but whenever i up the VBV Bitrate above 1300, My viewers get massive lag in combat. Ye, im streaming at 720p.

Okey, ive changed the server to amsterdam, and upped my bitrate to 1400 ( sufficient with new location)
So, Any thoughts on if my viewers gonna get mass lag in battle?

The lag for your viewers likely happens due to the bandwidth constraints (congestion) on the 'default' server, that's why I recommend you to change it. It should not happen after you change it, but simply run a 'bandwidth test' to confirm, if you get a green light, you're good to go. There's also the theoretical possibility that your computer is choking and dropping the frames, but that really shouldn't happen with your hardware.

Hi everyone. I hope someone reply as the last post was over 2 months ago. I'm looking to give someone my PC specs and for that person to tell me if I can stream or not. Any takers.

Post them in the thread then everyone can look and give their opinions instead of just one person.

So here is my up/down speed:
[image loading]

What resolution and fps should I be looking at?
I got the green light on Xsplit from US West at roughly 2100 bitrate. Should I lower it just to be on the safe side? Does a 2100 bitrate stream at 720p look ok?

It's fine, you can use pretty much whatever resolution/FPS you feel like with that upload. Twitch caps at 3500 video bitrate which most people can watch i think, but some like lower bitrate streams

more bitrate = higher quality, 2000 isn't enough to make a "perfect" stream with lots of camera motion even at 720p30 (pretty much nobody has perfect stream) - so it's not wasted if you add more, but it's also not strictly necessary

Will using dxtory or purchasing a capture card help? I noticed when only using xsplit to stream games feels so sluggish. I have a i7 3700, 16 gigs of ram and a gtx770 so I know something is wrong if the game can't run smooth once I go live.

Which games? Are you using game capture?

Battlefield 4 specifically. I'm only using Xsplit currently but trying to decide if using Dxtory or buying a capture card would help. Building a second PC isn't an option.

Probably not, bf4 uses a ton of CPU across 4+ cores. It's probably easier to just stream/encode with NVENC. If Xsplit doesn't have support for that, OBS does and as a backup, Shadowplay does as well but it's not as configurable/good

I may try shadowplay to see if that helps. Right now whenever I go live its just too sluggish to even attempt playing without raging.

unless they improved it a ton, shadowplay config for nvenc is way worse than obs

single gpu you should lose maybe 10% fps for 1080p30/720p60 with no cpu load with it, but worse quality than CPU encoding at the same bitrate. You can't really cpu encode games like bf4 or crysis 3 at high resolution and FPS without something like a 4930k or a two-PC setup (unless you want to lose more fps than neccesary) just because they'll load all of your cores heavily to get their performance, it's not like sc2 or LoL where one or two cores are loaded pretty heavily and the rest of your CPU is idle and available for encoding
