what settings do you think I should use for streaming Elder scrolls online on twitch, threadripper 1950x at 4 GHz with 2 1080ti's in SLI. I play in 4k and want to stream in 1080p but am having hard time getting a clear stream, my upload is 10000+ on the test to the server I'm using.

i run dual pc setup using the output tab and cpu to rescale be best quality ? i use my cpu as my encoder and stream pc

Um... What happened if the both base and output video got upscaled from 1080 to 1440? Video that i captured, mostly at 1080 and using base and output to 1080 too , but when upload to youtube, its really choppy/badly pixelated Using high bitrates to 40mbps is not helping too, strangely beyond 40 it got more choppier? But strange thing when i upscaled it to 1440, both base and output Got much better? Ofcourse still using 40mbps Still a bit pixelated when in high movement speed but very acceptable Btw you re right about using downscale filter, i tested it out lanzcross vs bicubic, and for 1440 lanczross is the best for me Any experience "what if" you upscaled it, from your experience? Thx in advance

is the "canvas" referring to changing the scaling on the actual display capture source?

Hello! Just wondering if i change from billinear to lanczos will my stream lag because of upload speed? I have a very good pc btw just asking does changing downscale to lanczos will affect my stream

What settings do you recomend for a game like Starcraft2? My cpu is an i7 6700k at 4.0ghz 10 mb upload. But i dont find a good preset/bitrate/downscale filter good enough for a 720p60 fps. The cpu can handle at 60fps rigth? Or not? Thanks in advance.

Wirklich interessantes Video und hast dir echt viel Mühe gegeben so viele Benchmarks zu machen! echt top und hast nen Abo verdient. Aber leider verlier ich oft den Faden was denn jetzt nun als ein einmaliges Setting allgemein zu empfehlen ist. Ich habe endes des Jahre vor mit 2 PC Stream Setup zu anzufangen. Gaming Rechner bzw. Display wäre 1440p @ mind. 144 hz. Capture Card wäre die Avermedia Live Gamer 4k. Streaming Rechner mindestens ein 12 Core + RTX GPU + entweder 1080p display oder auch 1440p 144hz. 2 PC Stream würde ich da wohl x264 benutzen und evtl record gleichzeitig mit Turing Nvenc. Was wäre dann in meinem Fall die optimalste Einstellung um ein ordentliches 1080p60fps Signal hinzubekommen? (blenden wir mal mögliche Performance Probleme durch Recording aus) Jedes mal wenn ich mir denke dass ich ganz genau versteh was du meinst, kommt wieder etwas wo ich durcheinander bin. ^^ Mir ist auch klar dass es wahrscheinlich keine goldene Einstellung gibt.. Aber als Streamer will man meist nur ein Setting haben mit dem man überall gut auskommt und nix verstellen muss. Wäre um deine Hilfe sehr dankbar! Dieses Resize Thema ist viel empfindlicher als ich gedacht habe ..

Vielen Dank! Im Prinzip wird die beste Quality beim Downscalen im "Video Tab" mit Lanczos erreicht. Beim gleichzeitigen Aufnehmen und Streamen geht das halt leider nicht, dann muss man im "Output Tab" runter skalieren. Den Unterschied merkt aber sicherlich keiner und falls du eh einen dedicated streaming PC bauen willst hast du auch keine Probleme bezüglich Performance. Mit einer Capture Card ist es mir aber ehrlichweise nicht klar, wie man ein 60Hz Signal zur Capture Card und ein 1440Hz Signal zum Monitor bekommt. Beim duplizieren des Monitors wird ja meist einfach die tiefste gemeinsame Frequenz benutzt, nicht?

@@TechGuides Ich bin jetzt ganz ehrlich und kann dir nicht 100%ig genau erklären wie das funktioniert. Ich schau mir schon viele Videos zu Capture Cards an und muss dann selber erstmal viel rumprobieren denk ich. Aber vor allem dank der aktuellen 4k Capture Cards, gibts jetzt viel weniger Probleme wenn es um höhere Refreshrates geht. Gaming 144hz/fps & Stream 60 fps ohne Screen Tearing sollte heute eigentlich leichter machbar sein als die Capture Cards nur 60 fps aufnehmen konnten. Aber wie gesagt da muss ich evtl. ende des Jahres ein Update nachreichen wenn ich es selber hinbekommen habe :) Capture Cards bzw. 2 PC Stream Setup ist eine Wissenschaft für sich ^^ wenn man das bestmögliche Ergebnis erreichen möchte

hi , i am streaming with a ryzen 5 3600 , i am doing 720p 30 fps stream , but my stream dont feel always clean 30 fps , sometimes its stuttering and it seems my cpu is rendering like 15 fps for some minutes , then its goes back to normal and smooth , streamlabs dont say that i loose frames at all, it says my stream quality is good etc etc, and my cpu is not even 15% underload on the down left sign on streamlabs (+no temp problems) , so do you have any tips for what is going on , (my gameplay has no fps drops at all , its only the stream that feels stuttering sometimes)

Thanks heaps for this, it was exactly what I was looking for, demonstrating how to do each method and also PSNR results, there is a recent EposVox video about setting canvas resolution to match streaming resolution (this would be canvas scaling in your vid) but i was very skeptical about it, he does mention that a lower canvas resolution means that OBS doesn’t need to use as much GPU to composite the scene but how much that impacts performance doesn’t reflect in your testing, I’m guessing if a game is absolutely maxing out your GPU then a lower canvas might help but at that point I’m guessing lowering your FPS cap or in-game graphics settings would be a better way to go.

Sharpest would be point or disabled but lanczos has a bit of sharpening added while trying to intelligently upscale.

Question: I have 1920x1080 monitor resolution. I will change Base resolution(Settings->Video) to 1600x900. And Output resolution will be the same 1600x900. And i will add a (game) Window in windowed mode as a source with same 1600x900 resolution. So theoreticaly there is no down- or canvas scaling. Will this rendered and decoded as canvas rescaling or as without scaling at all? p.s. Sorry about my english, hope you get what i mean.

And if i manualy resize to screen, doesn't this will look like in canvas rescaling part in this video? I mean you add a source and downscale it to fit the screen and i should upscale to fit the screen. Question is: does manual rescaling in preview affect somehow to perfomance or all what importan is base res, output res and scaling method in settings.

Thanks man! You are right it seems like 1080p is still the go-to resolution (Im frankly surprised). I reckon the presented results would not change much (the quality that is) if I would re-test at 1080p. However, for upcoming videos I will definitely switch resolution to 1080p for performance and quality assessments. Thank you very much for the remark!

So any time someone says "don't use NVENC, it gives significantly worse video quality than x264," I'm gonna smack them on the face and show them your video. Not only NVENC looks better or just as good as x264 in some cases, it is also much better in terms of video stability when live streaming. With x264, if your gameplay is suffering from frame drops, you can expect that your video will be a choppy as a PowerPoint slideshow. Every time your game's FPS drops, x264 cannot handle that situation very well. Your video will stutter very badly to the point it cannot be watched at all. Meanwhile, on NVENC, even if the game is using 99% - 100% of your GPU, it makes almost no difference to your experience at all. I can say this because I streamed on KZread at 18000Kbps using NVENC at native resolution (3440x1440). Not a single frame was dropped from my game. NVENC is made for video games and Nvidia knows what they are doing. Armchair experts (video gamers) can say what they want about NVENC but my experience is that NVENC is as easy as a plug and play USB mouse. x264 gave me tons of headaches and wasted hours of recordings (choppy framerate due to game dropping FPS, even 1-2 frame drop will destroy the x264 encoding).

"Meanwhile, on NVENC, even if the game is using 99% - 100% of your GPU, it makes almost no difference to your experience at all" That's true... to a point. But there's always that limit when suddenly the GPU can't do any more tasks. The Encoder does not work ENTIRELY independently of the rest of the board. But yes. It's better than CPU encoding in general. A modern intel CPU with Quicksync is actually on par or better than Nvenc in some areas and a bit worse in others due to its adaptive quantization techniques. Which is similar to Nvenc's psycho visual tuning. QSV and NVENC basically nail CPUx264 and AMD VCE right now.
