If you are trying to fullscreen the video or view it in a larger window than 1280x720 (upscaling) then it will probably look awful regardless of its quality. Try using www.twitch.tv/yourchannel/new, that gives you a stream window a little bigger than 1280x720 when you view on 1920x1080 (as opposed to the 2.25x upscale required to fullscreen it) You should be using the max quality setting available, im not sure if you can override ratecontrol in OBS (xsplit limits you to crf25 which is pretty awful unless you use command line) use somewhere around 3-3.5k bitrate and buffer for streaming at 1280x720/1920x1080 and id strongly suggest running the game in 1920x1080 (with screen/video drivers set up for black bars at top and bottom) so you can capture the game in the same aspect ratio you are streaming at (16 : 9 is FAR more common than 16 : 10 in monitors these days) and also because of the way that SC2 scales the game window. You see more area with a more "zoomed out" view at a 16 : 9 resolution compared to 16:10, which cuts some off the sides of your viewport. For bad looking stream: - Wrong aspect ratio - Bad ratecontrol setting limiting bitrate - Upscaling video somewhere - Too low bitrate etcetc. Thanks. What I mean by "doesn't look HD" is that when I watch it, i don't feel the "wow this is HD !" that I usually do when watching 720p (or 1080p+ streams). It's not sharp and the colors aren't crisp. I really don't want to run the game in 1920*1080, I want it to use my whole screen. Even if I know that 16  is better for SC2.My current settings are : - Quality 10 - 2500 bitrate / 5k buffer (read somewhere that it must be double, but seems that you guys are saying it should be the same) - Base resolution : 1920*1200 - Dowscale 1.5 (1280 * 800) - 45fps - Multithread on, normal priority - Preset veryfast - Use send buffer is on and at 8196 I'll try with 3k bitrate and buffer, but i don't see somewhere to change the ratecontrol though (maybe in the "Custom x264 encoder settings" in Advanced ?). What about FPS ? Is 45 good ? Should I aim for 60 ? What if I stream at my natice resolution (1920 * 1200) ? How will Twitch handle that ? And what are the performance impact ? Do I just need more bitrate or the CPU is also going to cry more ? | ||

That's quality balance , 10 is not the best quality balance I would pick, try 6-7-8, don't be fooled by "bigger = better" everything else is okaish (try to have sendbuffer disabled, you might not even need it, also up your bitrate since you are capturing at 45fps) | ||

Also I have noticed that twitch servers have been balking whenever I attempt to stream at anything higher than around 2400 anyway. Stream viewers are complaining of dropped frames and sure enough, lots of frames are being dropped. My internet is very capable and when I lower the rate the dropped frames go away. Sometimes I wish there was a way to test servers bandwidth, rather than just its latency which is not quite as useful. | ||

Im having a few problems with my streaming... and i dont know where is the problem. Well, i have a 100/10 mbs cable connection, here is my test. http://www.speedtest.net/result/2385040862.png Im trying to stream in 720p and here are my config. Encoder screen -> http://i.imgur.com/yscgS.jpg Video screen -> http://i.imgur.com/J7FKX.jpg Advanced screen -> http://i.imgur.com/6lzvo.jpg I have put a source [Add game capture(experimental)] where the game is cs:go. Game resolution -> 1280x720 Desktop resolution -> 1920x1080 My video on demand can see correctly with few lags around 10-15 minutes but people tells me that they cant see my stream cause they have so much lags... where is the problem? :\ My computer is: i7 2600K 3,4 GHz without overclock Asus p8p67 motherboard ATI Radeon 5800 series | ||

It wont look sharp if you are upscaling, 1.5 downscale means 2.25x upscale to fill your screen. 60fps is extremely easy with your setup and the bitrate you set isnt realted to CPU load Something like 80% of your viewers will be viewing in 16 : 9, you can stream at 1920x1200 but it wont look too good for them. With a lower resolution you view like this ![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/09/Windowboxed.jpg) but resolution higher than you can display doesnt work out very well Personally id just set to 1920x1080, either run with black bars or stretch to screen and stream at 1920x1080@60fps@veryfast@3.5k/3.5k | ||

Computer: i7 920 @ 3.8GHz 12GB ram HD 6970 1920x1080 Net: 25mb/5mb Settings: 720p/60fps Quality: 10 Bit/Buffer: 3000/3000 Preset: veryfast Absolutely nothing has changed between the tests. I checked the server and the ping/jitter is almost identical between test, though I've tried others anyway. I've tried dropping the settings extremely low and it still freezes every ~5 seconds. | ||

My connection shows the same as it was earlier, too. Edit: It's definitely a Twitch problem at later hours. I tried own3d at the same settings and it worked much better, only problem being that I don't really like own3d. | ||
