    Hello! I've been using a Ryzen 5 5600G for streaming on RUclips. Whenever I check my VODs I notice that my streams are blurry.
    Since I don't have a dedicated GPU (the 5600g has a Vega 7), I use the x264 encoder. However, I've noticed that I have the option "AMD HW H.264 (AVC)" available. Should I use this? Or is it not suited for integrated graphics/Vega 7?

    is it worth going up to 40000 bitrate? Nvidia can easily handle 50000 on my rig but not sure about OBS. are there diminishing returns going past 8000?

    Thanks for this video - very helpful. Is there a way to measure the actual amount of live stream data going out from OBS onto the network? A utility or a system measurement? (I am running on a Mac).
    Thanks. . .

      I know on Windows you can open task manager and click the Network tab to see how much is going in and out in real time, so I'm sure Mac OS has something similar.

    If I have an i9-12900k thats never been really used over 50% would it be better to use that for encoding than my gpu that runs around 90% most the time?

    • @Mr.Plant1994
      @Mr.Plant1994 3 месяца назад +1

      Unless you want to stream at a lower quality like 360p, or you have a top of the line gpu, it’s usually better to use software rendering rather then gpu rendering

    • @GoldSrc_
      @GoldSrc_ Месяц назад

      Your GPU has a separated hardware video encoder, streaming should never affect your games even if your GPU was at 100%.

    I wonder why they have Streaming bitrate and then Audio bitrate as separate. Video bitrate becomes this kinda hinky Total bitrate - Audio bitrate. In the Recording tab, it makes more sense.

    • @GoldSrc_

      Streaming bitrate is the total bitrate, it includes the audio bitrate.

      6000 if you stream to Twitch, 16000-20000 if on youtube.

      You could probably do 40000 on youtube, but pretty much is not needed.
