Otherwise choose a folder in your HDD storage. In the Recording section, I suggest setting the recording path to an SSD if you have enough storage left. These settings are, if you haven’t already noticed, optimized for low to mid end PC’s. If you feel like your network connection is not good enough to stream with your preferred settings, then make sure to follow the network connection tweaks later in this guide.īelow, set the keyframe interval to 2 seconds, preset to “Performance”, profile to “main”, disable the Look-ahead options, enable psycho visual tuning.

In my case, I am always streaming in 720p and 60FPS, and I’m a bit paranoid about dropped frames, that’s why I am using a bitrate of 3500, which is more than enough if your network connection can support it. To stream in 1080p, a bitrate of 6’000 should be more than enough, and for streams in 720p, you should lower the bitrate to 3’000. In my example, I could use a bitrate of 19’000, which would be more than enough to stream in 1080p & 60 FPS, but using this much is not necessary! On this website, you should take a close look at your upload speed, which will determine how much bandwidth you can reserve for streaming. I recommend testing your connection here. On this window, you should be able to preview your native display resolution.īelow, set the Rate Control to CBR, which stands for constant bit rate, and set your bitrate according to your internet’s upload speed. Right-click your desktop and select Display Settings. This is also very useful for users with an abnormal native screen resolution. If you already know in which resolution you are streaming, then you can rescale your output from here. For NVIDIA GPU’s you should make a test-stream using the NVIDIA NVENC encoder to see how well it works after applying the next tweaks.
