[SOLVED] Stream blurry in twitch

[reimpsel]

Hello guys.

Got a huge problem with my blurry quality while trying to stream in twitch. Using Streamlabs OBS.

PC specs:
i7-9700k
RAM 16GB
GPU: AMD Vega 56 with 8GB RAM
Net upload speed locked in 11.5mb/sec

Game: Apex Legends

In-game settings are 1920x1080 res. and texture settings on Low. While stream is working the in-game is good, locked on 144fps. Not a single lagg peak.

Whenever i try to stream, everything is clear and beautiful as long as i go into fight with enemies then i see on twitch that the quality goes very-very bad and blurry.
YES i've tried any possible youtube.com tutorial and still nothing helps. Where is the bottleneck? I am totally out of ideas.

best regards
Reimo

Are you steraming at 144 fps? Because that can be the problem

Agreed that expecting to be able to stream at super high refresh is not realistic. It's one thing to game at that refresh, quite another to stream at it. Also, your up speed should be good enough to set your stream bitrate at 6000 if you aren't.

Hey,

Streamlabs output is always set on 60fps. As i told i've wathced tons of youtube tutorials etc and i know that fact, that output FPS must be set on 60.

There is something else and i cannot figure it out.

Again, what stream bitrate setting are you using?

Keep in mind too, even if only using 144 for game and 60 for stream, there's going to be more load on your PC while streaming. Even if you're using the CPU to stream like most do (to make it easier for the GPU to render), you may still be gaming at lower than 144 FPS. If that's the case I would cap the frame rate to that of your average FPS.

Hey

Im using 6000bitrate, got a better net today, with 20mb/s locked upload. Now there is less that blurry but still pretty nasty when im in heavy gunfight.
So you basically reccomend me to play at maybe 100fps `?

Are you on shared or capped bandwidth regarding your ISP? If your average at the hours you're playing can dip below 12Mb up, you may be better off using 5000 bitrate.

Also, I can't answer the FPS question until I know what you're averaging in game. Like I said, just cap it yo your average. A lot of people with 144Hz monitors don't have the GPU required to stream at 144 FPS. I don't recall you even saying what games you're streaming.

Connection isn't shared but personal. Non else using this bandwith at the same time. In my opinion the bandwith should not be the problem, it should be way more then enough for streaming.

The game i play is Apex Legend, most likely i have 144fps locked, sometimes whenever there is more action it is somewhere between 130-144. Maybe the FPS i am playing is the problem? I shall try to lock it on 100 and try it.
But its still a bit weird imo, because i've seen a lot of streamers who stream like waaay worse computers then i do, but their streams are clear, and they do it on 144fps.

No need to guess at what the real time FPS is. Just use MSI Afterburner and set it to show stats onscreen whilst playing.
