Aside from that I'm not too sure. edit: after playing with it my self, I see what you mean. At 100% microphone I am dramatically quieter than I was before the newest update. I'll see what's up. edit 2: scratch what I said before, audio volume is consistent from previous versions to the most recent version. incorrect settings on my end resulted in anomalous testing results. my apologies. | ||

What do you guys think would be best for this setup? I stream in 720p. i5 2500k (not OC'd) HD 6850 4GB RAM I mean, I personally wouldnt recommend streaming 1080p unless you're a twitch partner (or whatever site you may stream on) as some people aren't able to watch 1080p streams. You also have a stock clocked 2500k which isnt bad but, I wouldnt recommend doing 1080p on it unless you plan on playing on low. Try 720p 60fps. set your bitrate to 1500. | ||

I guess the default preset is ok? default is ok for streaming, if you want to clear up pixelation or anything just use a slower preset. So maybe fast would be a good place to start. | ||

I have a 3930k overclocked to 4.7GHz with a 1GB GTX460 and 8GB of RAM. Surely I should be seeing better numbers? It seems like people like Destiny (pre-capture card) have some ungodly preset (there's never pixelation) with decent fps. Are there common things that people screw up, or incompatibilities that can cause a drop in fps? I don't usually go above 60% cpu usage while playing/streaming, either, and it's definitely running @ 4.7. Am I just expecting too much? Keep in mind I'm simply looking at in-game fps, as I can't handle streaming flawlessly with the internet I have. Edit - forgot to mention that I use the FFSplit overlay with a webcam and the screen capture set to high quality. | ||

Aero's off, and I'm streaming at 1080p/30fps on veryfast with 2200kbps. I could (well, should) do better, but I wanted to test with my friend who uses an OC'd 2500k. On low settings, I pull in around 420 fps. Pretty solid. However, when I start streaming, I plummet to 90ish, and that's at the start of the game so it likely drops more when there's more than 12 workers on the field. Plus, I prefer playing on medium, where I get 40-60 at the beginning of the game. I have a 3930k overclocked to 4.7GHz with a 1GB GTX460 and 8GB of RAM. Surely I should be seeing better numbers?

Even with a processor running at 4.7ghz, video encoding at 1080p is going to devour your CPU. It's doable, obviously, but no matter how fast your processor is, you're going to experience a drop in performance when streaming. | ||

If someones has problems with streaming fps I'd suggest lower video resolution. I guess I'm more curious as to why this is. I just like to play around with settings before I move and get better internet, and I'm trying to figure out how some people can get these outrageously good-looking streams. Surely 20 fps while streaming is unheard of with a 3930k? I got the cpu from a friend for something like $200, so it's not a big deal if I can never get it working as well as others, but I just don't know what makes others' set-up better than my own. Thanks for the suggestion, though! | ||

If someones has problems with streaming fps I'd suggest lower video resolution. Technically superfast is also lighter on your CPU, no? Anyways, I might have been over exaggerating the cpu demands of veryfast. Just to test I opened sc2 and set everything to medium and started recording at 1080p/30fps/default preset and was getting just over 100 FPS at the start of a game. This is on an AMD 1090T running at 4.0ghz, which is a dramatically inferior chip to your I7. So I'm not too sure, actually. Seems like there could be something going on on your end. | ||

They are in order from speediest to slowest (dunno what 'default' means). From my experience ultrafast is crappy looking as it turns everything off in encoding. So anything but that one. If cpu still stuggles with superfast then I'd lower resolution. | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.speedtest.net/result/2181518937.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/fOaEt.png) Could anyone help me out? I want to stream in the highest quality possible. If anyone needs any more info, just ask. I'm pretty new to the whole streaming thing. If it matters, I'll be streaming Dota 2 on 1280x720 resolution. | ||

It may be too slow for streaming in general. | ||

I've streamed HD on Xsplit before and it was decently smooth. What would my settings be if I wanted to stream 612p or 480p? | ||
