I ran a brief trial of my Twitch stream and it didn’t look very good. I’m not very familiar with the software yet, so I kept things at their default settings. My friend who is a bit tech-savvy suggested raising the bitrate to 3k, which would add about 2900 more bits than it currently is. Also, the stream was playing at 1080p, but my frame rate fluctuated a lot during gameplay. I’m trying to figure out the best way to configure it for a smooth, stable experience while keeping my own performance steady. The friend also shared some tips from a stream post.

Check the "Quality" setting in VCE options. Select x264, CBR encoding, and aim for around 7Mbps. For CSGO at 1024x768, stream at 720p with about 3500Kbps.

Absolutely, I didn't mention that I play at 4:3 stretched at 1280x960, but I can go lower if needed.

Would enhance quality with 1080p. Streaming at 30fps or 60fps?
