Need assistance with OBS? I'm here to help!
Hello! I recently purchased an i7 4790k to improve my streaming quality. My previous setup was:
► RAM - MSI FM2-A55M-E33
► CPU - AMD A10-6790 Quad Core Black Edition 4x
► RAM - 2x Kingston Xyper x 4GB 1600Mhz
► GPU - MSI GeForce GTX 960
► HDD - 500GB NCQ Seogate 7200rpm
► PSU - Intertech PSU 700W
Now I upgraded the CPU and RAM to i7 4790k (CPU) and MSI Z97 GAMING 3 (Motherboard). I'm unsure about the right settings, so please assist. I tried some tutorials, but others mentioned streaming lag. I checked a speed test result: average download ~90 Mbps, upload 30-70 Mbps.
It's a frustrating situation because of the unexpected issues that arise.
I ran a couple of tests on the speedtest link and noted the results. The PSU in question appears to be from an unfamiliar brand, but after some investigation, it seems likely this product won’t deliver on its promises and may fail soon. Poor quality power supplies often cause additional damage to other components.
x264, 720p @ 60fps, Extremely fast <----------- Keep this as is, it may seriously affect your PC's performance. Uploading at 3500kbps is the upper limit Twitch accepts; reduce accordingly based on your upload and viewer speed expectations. Higher uploads demand more bandwidth from both your end and Twitch’s servers, which can cause frequent buffering even at lower bitrates. @ TheIronMinerLv We usually avoid unfamiliar power supplies, because a single mistake can render your entire system useless. A reliable PSU ensures longevity—lasting through multiple upgrades and full system changes. Only monitors and PSUs offer true future-proofing.
Here you are - https://www.speedtest.net/result/4748311730.png (Typical speed is around 90 Mbps, download 30-70 Mbps)
you're wrong there. yes, it completely cripples your performance if you put it too high, but it also does a REALLY good job at encoding your stream. theres a streamer that has it on slower, and manages to supply at least a semi-decent 720p on like.. 800bps upload. a 4790k should be capable of at least medium just fine EDIT: i'm chatting with a small streamer in an other tab (60 viewers, but he has a sub button, so he's at least semi-decent ) and he had this to say: "if i did that, this would be blurfest" 720p30 1500kbps 3770k
It handles the stream efficiently, but it’s consuming nearly half of your CPU cycles just for itself. With my upgraded 3570K at 4.4GHz, a stream preview of a game menu only uses 40%+ of the processor. The specs are impressive—3500kbps, 1080@30, VeryFast.
