Best Obs Settings for 50 Gbh Download 5 Upload

This guide is especially for people with an upload-speed between around 700-1200 Kbit/s, considering to a higher place this you shouldn't take that much trouble at finding convincing settings (540p easily)!

How to calculate your bitrate: ​

Go to: www.testmy.net and perform a upload-speed-test.

You have to keep the bitrate for your game and your audio in heed, besides some room for spiking.
You want to use around 70 % to fourscore % of your bitrate, next steps give y'all farther advice.
I recommend E'er using mono, unless you accept a high enough upload speed for don't caring almost the extra file size or you really demand to have the divergence between right and left channel.
Notation: Mono volition give yous better quality than stereo at aforementioned bitrates, because there is simply ane aqueduct to encode compared to the 2 channels of stereo.
And so you have to subtract the speed you want to rubber for your game. As well you should have a few bites left for when OBS spikes at the bitrate.

Example-calculation: ​

Y'all have, similar me, an upload of 1 Mbit or roughly 1000 Kbit/s. I retrieve sound quality beneath 64 Kbit/south is way as well bad to listen to, then I took this for my stream. For me I found out, that I need around 100 Kbit/s left for my game. Furthermore OBS' bandwidth usage varies around 35 Kbit/s above and below the targeted bitrate.
So let's calculate:

1000 (Upload.speed)
- 100 (Game/Internet)
- 64 (Sound)

- 35 (Spikes)

801 (Bitrate) ​

This is the bitrate, y'all want to utilize for video-encoding.

In fact, that's pretty much exactly the bitrate I am using, which is 800 Kbit/s.
This might differ a little fleck for everyone, but it'southward definitely a good starting point. If you face lags in your game, but lower the bitrate 50 Kbit/s. If it'southward okay, you lot tin can either keep that or try like 775 Kbit/s and then on...

Table with resolutions ​

The bitrate in the top is the bitrate nosotros just calculated in a higher place.
The slower the preset, the college the CPU-usage.

Every bit you can encounter in the "size in %"-department, presets below "veryfast" don't requite a real reward in the actual bitrate y'all need for a specific resolution, they volition fifty-fifty need a slightly college bitrate, but will requite an increment in encoding-quality, fifty-fifty though the difference might not exist worth information technology in some cases.

If you want to endeavour slower presets, keep runway of your CPU! ​

You should endeavour framerates like 24, 25, 30 and other mutual framerates.
Because I causeless a relatively high impact in bitrate for different framerates, you lot might exist able to squeeze out a few more than fps than in the table (excepting veryfast 360p at 700 kbit/s), but going with higher framerates could cause a more done-out stream at move-scenes, so picking these settings should be safe to provide a relatively constant quality while moving.

Also endeavor to use Lanczos or Bicubic filter for downscaling if possible, because it will provide much more sharpness for low performance cost! ​

Notation: Lanczos is often told to be the sharpening-filter, because it kind of overshapens the images. In my personal opinion, at 540p the Bicubic looks better, simply this is just a preference!

Presets: Screenshot-Comparing ​

Hither are some screenshots. They are all at exactly the same settings except the preset.
These are all 432p @ 30 fps and 800 Kbit/s video-bitrate, profile is ready to high, rest is default.
I've added ultrafast, and so you can see, why you shouldn't use presets faster than veryfast.

The differences are minor, but you can discover an increase in detail and sharpness. (You can see the differences best, if you compare the workers.)
Particularly if you await at the correct worker, yous see the line on the ground existence cut through for veryfast and faster.
An other good point to look at is the outline of the edifice or the number higher up the building/ betwixt the one worker and the building.

You tin can discover, that the quality-differences betwixt veryfast and faster equally well as between faster and fast seem to be the biggest
.

Therefore I do recommend using faster or fast.

​

(most of your systems should be able to handle this, due to the low resolution we are using.)

Just again: Keep rails of your CPU, while testing the slower presets! ​

Formulae: ​

If y'all desire to calculate on your own, you lot tin can either use my tabular array (I started at 360p with 30 FPS and a Bandwidth of 700 Kbit/s with veryfast for a very adept stability) or you lot have to figure out an own setting with a certain bandwidth, resolution and FPS, which looks fine to you.
However, here are the formulae:

nBW (when on the correct on the equality-sigh) = needed bandwidth
nBW (when in the formula) = new bandwidth (if you lot have a faster connection than your starting signal)
nRes = new resolution
nFPS = new FPS
oBW = old bandwidth
oRes = old resolution
o FPS = old FPS

Like written in the table, these are settings for mid-motion games, like RTS. If you are playing a low-motion game, you might be able to become away with the settings for your calculated bitrate+100 Kbit/s, for high-motility games the opposite.

Likewise I did cut some resolutions and presets, considering they are non as „proficient" as the others. (They are non sufficient for these bitrates or take too much performance) I tried to deliver a guide containing as much detail as possible and needed, considering there are no sufficient guides out in that location for depression bitrates in my opinion. All these is from testing, calculating and research. The formulae I mainly used are: qval, 3/iv-rule and principle of proportionality
(I can provide the open up-office-sheet, if you want to calculate different bitrates and/or resolutions yourself.)

Final words:
​

I aimed to provide a relatively stable stream, rather than just a good looking stream at no motion!

I was struggling, finding the correct settings for my stream and almost of the "guides" on the internet for my low upload speed didn't convince me at all.

So after the couple of weeks of reading, testing and calculating, I decided to do a brusk guide on my ain, which contains the most important stuff for most users, not going too deep into the thing.

These settings might differ individualy, depending on your verbal upload-speed, stability and your arrangement (non only the hardware, but the software, too).

So you might want to adjust a niggling scrap here.

This should assist yous, finding the right settings rather then just tell you lot, what to use.

If there are whatever mistakes, also in content as in language likewise, you are welcome to send me a PM, so I tin correct them.

I hope, this could help you guys.
