HI is my PC capable of 720p 60fps streaming to twitch?

SGT PODDY · Jun 21, 2017

Hi I recently upgraded to sky fibre and wanted to get into streaming, I use OBS nad have foudn that my streams seem to lag as well as lag in game, I was wondering what are my best choices of settings to help this.

These are my specs :
Operating System
Windows 10 Home 64-bit
CPU
Intel Core i5 6600K @ 3.50GHz 29 °C
Skylake 14nm Technology
RAM
16.0GB Dual-Channel Unknown @ 1066MHz (16-16-16-39)
Motherboard
ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. Z170-P (LGA1151) 32 °C
Graphics
48W_LCD_TV (1920x1080@60Hz)
4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (ZOTAC International) 55 °C
Storage
111GB ADATA SP550 (SSD) 33 °C
931GB Seagate ST1000DM003-1SB10C (SATA) 37 °C
Optical Drives
TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-224FB
Audio
NVIDIA High Definition Audio

These are my broadband speeds :
Downlaod : 37.62 mbps - 4.7 MBps
Upload : 9.47 mbps - 1.18 MBps

OBS settings :
Max Bitrate - 2500
Max Buffer rate - 2500
X264 CPU PRESET - Fast

Any help is appreciated

The PC is more than capable, and your down and up speeds look reasonable enough to me at the maximums. I have 50 down 5 up and am able to stream 720p on a demonstrably worse computer.

What power supply do you have?

kaptainkuftic :

Its either 600 or 750 watts

YoAndy · Jun 21, 2017

Playing at 1080p with a GTX 970 and streaming. You won't be getting good FPS but you can definitely stream.

Not looking for the wattage, more the overall build quality

YoAndy :

I've got it set to compress it down to 720p in OBS, would it help if i set the actual game in 720p?

YoAndy · Jun 21, 2017

It will help by setting the actual game to 720p but you should be ok, You should try it first see it by yourself.

The website I got it from says 88% efficiency

Not looking for efficiency either. What's the model of the PSU? what I'm looking to find is if your power supply is safe, as many are not despite being from reputable makers

Ok i've found it, its FSP. No specific model sorry.

And I'm here trying to figure this out???? Are we trying to find out if his system is good for streaming or power efficient? - See more at: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3447542/capable-720p-60fps-streaming-twitch.html#19845349

No worries.

FSP has a solid offering of relatively safe PSUs, so you should be good on overall safety of the rig.

FSP650-80EGN 650W ? Or else?

your RAM seems to be wrongly set . Activate option XMP Profile in your UEFI/BIOS
2133MHz would be optimum

please run 3dmark time spy (it´s for free), after it click on compare result online and post the link from your browser

I was looking for safety and whether or not his PSU could output enough power to make sure everything is running as it should

btw I hate quoting

SGT PODDY · Jun 21, 2017

Ok I've set my xmp to profile 1, the benchmarker says I have to have the base 3D mark to download which costs money so Is there any alternatives ?

James Mason · Jun 21, 2017

compressing the stream down to 720p is actually more difficult for the computer to make it easier on your internet connection to upload it to twitch.

Mike3k24 · Jun 21, 2017

I would not recommend an i5 for streaming at all.

TerryLaze · Jun 21, 2017

Streaming in 60fps does take a good chunk of cpu power from your i5,and it will also look awful with only 2500kbit,try for 720/30fps first and see how that goes.

SGT PODDY · Jun 21, 2017

TerryLaze :

What bitrate would you recommend ?

SGT PODDY · Jun 21, 2017

James Mason :

Would it be easier overall to stream with the game in 720p ?

helpstar · Jun 21, 2017

I assume you tried downloading 3dmark via steam. Choose another mirror.
the basic edition is for free, here a more simple link

Go for the maximum the streaming site allows you and that you can sustain.
