Optimized Streamlabs OBS Configuration
Optimized Streamlabs OBS Configuration
Hi everyone! I've been streaming intermittently for approximately five years, and I’ve recently returned to it! I also just upgraded my computer setup recently. My current specifications are:
Processor: Intel Core i9-9900k
Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-F
Memory: 24GB HyperX Fury DDR4 2666MHz
M.2 Storage: Samsung 970 EVO 500GB M.2 SSD
Graphics Card: Dual RTX 2080 8GB
I’m not intending to be unproductive by posting here, so please don't criticize me, but I was hoping to connect with someone who could assist me in optimizing my Streamlabs OBS settings for my system. Previously, I experienced issues like frame drops and lag due to problems with the preview stream, but now that I have a more powerful configuration, I’d like to discover ideal settings for streaming CS:GO onto Twitch at 1080p resolution. I understand some of the fundamental concepts of OBS, yet I'm struggling with aspects such as output configurations (including encoder and preset options), profiles, and particularly the "video" settings.
Thank you in advance!
These configurations leverage the graphics card for demanding tasks, ensuring a consistently high stream quality regardless of the game being played.
It’s generally recommended to target a frame rate of 60FPS unless your streaming platform doesn't support it or your upload speed is insufficient.
This individual is transmitting at a bitrate of 2500kbit/s, which will appear somewhat degraded when streaming at 1080p/60fps.
My computer specifications: an 8700K processor, 16 GB of RAM, and a 2060 graphics card at 1080p resolution with a frame rate of 30 FPS.
Thank you, I’ll give it a shot! Are you broadcasting CS:GO using that configuration? Unsure whether to use 60 or 30 frames per second in CS.
These configurations leverage the graphics card for intensive processing, ensuring a consistently high stream quality regardless of the game being played.
It’s generally recommended to maintain a frame rate of 60 FPS unless your streaming platform doesn't support it or your upload speed is insufficient. A bitrate of 2500 kbit/s, which would be suitable for 1080p/60fps, will appear noticeably substandard.
Alright, I’ll configure those settings with approximately 3000-3500 bitrate and 60 frames per second, and I'll evaluate the visual result. Or should I utilize a higher bit rate? My resolution is 300x300 lines, so bandwidth isn’t a concern for me, but I’m more concerned about viewers who are watching the stream, as not everyone has fiber internet access.
I eventually watched this video!

I gained a lot of knowledge about the various components and how they impact and function, but thank you all for your responses – you were really helpful <3
