If you encode with a super high quality setting and then only send 1000kbps to the twitch servers your stream will look very bad. Bitrate is the amount of data your PC uploads to Twitch servers every second. You should however use every last ounce of bitrate allowed to maximize the quality. Going over this can result in Twitch restricting your stream or other actions. Impact: Medium to High Impact to Quality.Įach streaming platform has different rules but Twitch has a 6000kbps Bitrate cap for non-partnered streams. Tip #3: Use the Highest Bitrate Available for the Platform. This will save your CPU and GPU from having to display your stream in a second monitor saving additional resources for OBS to use for encoding etc. This one is very simple, in the space above the preview window in OBS simply right click and select performance mode. Impact: Low to Medium Impact to Performance. Tip #2: Disable Preview Window in OBS While Streaming When launching OBS simply right click and select “Run as Administrator”. Running OBS as an administrator will prioritize OBS over your game, your FPS might suffer a bit during high motion/action game play, but your stream will continue to be smooth. The idea is simple, normally, your gaming PC, prioritizes gaming, when you play a game its goal is to give you the best experience, this can lead to increased load on your CPU and GPU and due to prioritization of resources only allows OBS to take advantage of the remaining power. This single step will probably be the highest improvement to your stream quality. I cannot stress enough the importance of this step.
