The concept is to decide how much CPU power you allocate to encoding, which affects the stream's quality—more resources for higher quality, less for lower.
I'm currently handling 720p30 at 2Mbit with minimal degradation, a significant amount of overhead present, and CPU usage staying under 70%. Testing was done using the Valley benchmark, not just a standard desktop setup. At 720p60 it runs a bit on both low and high settings, but I'm deliberately pushing my 4790k to its limits. If I don't push it too hard, it performs well. Usually I recommend avoiding 60fps unless you have enough CPU power for the stream. (Capture PC) EDIT: "next to no loss" refers to picture quality, not frame drops. Once OBS starts struggling, I think it's a sign something went wrong.
