Official Mobafire PC thread

[quote=BigBoxGamer][quote=HiFromBuddha][quote=BigBoxGamer]Quiet PC noob. If people don't want me posting in a thread, then they better close it. Anyway. I revised your build a bit, slightly cheaper, much better and you can spend a bit extra on a supercharged 960 if you want. However, this is a much better build. I also recommend looking for a different brand case, because NZXT makes shit for cases. Although, I don't know about you, but I am willing to cut up a case to get something to work. http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/[/quote] Uh, just going to say that there's nothing filled in where you linked it to.[/quote] That's weird, it was working last night. x.x[/quote]

[quote=Embracing]Can any of you help me with OBS settings? I'm not too sure what my rig can stream right now. I tried playing around with the settings but I'm always getting lag. heres my upload / dl speeds (im on campus internet) http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/4667178209 and you have my specs (fx6300, r9 380)[/quote]

Ping or FPS? Also, what were the settings you tried to stream with?[/quote]

[quote=Embracing]FPS lag right now im doing 2500 kb/s bitrate 720P lanczos 60 fps sometimes my game drops below 60 when im playing while trying to stream i have no clue how to optimize stream settings so any advice would b helpful :D[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=Embracing]do you guys know what types of games this pc will be able to run / stream? I'm looking at league, cs, ffxiv, etc[/quote] ... well AMD/AMD is a big mistake if you were planning on streaming/recording. Intel and Nvidia both have specific technologies that help with realtime encoding. To my knowledge AMD does not have anything similar. [quote=Embracing]Can any of you help me with OBS settings?

I believe max is 3500kb/s. To reduce strain on the CPU for encoding you could drop the FPS to 30. Software encoding isn't exactly efficient. For futher optimization please provide screenshots of your "Encoding" and "Advanced" tabs.[/quote]

[quote=Vapora Dark]I was thinking of streaming soon, could someone make sure I have all the settings and stuff right? http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/4667637290 [img=http://i.imgur.com/4342FZs.png] [img=http://i.imgur.com/rInEBHg.png] This is the highest quality I can stream/record at with my current settings, and even then my FPS is lower than I'd like to be playing with.

[quote=Searz]@Embracing Seems pretty much fine to me. What FPS are you streaming at? (Video tab) [quote=Vapora Dark]I was thinking of streaming soon, could someone make sure I have all the settings and stuff right? http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/4667637290 [img=http://i.imgur.com/4342FZs.png] This is the highest quality I can stream/record at with my current settings, and even then my FPS is lower than I'd like to be playing with.[/quote] You're streaming at a rate above your actual connection speed. Your connection can handle 1200kb/s. Assuming that you want some headroom for the game and potential VOIP or other internet software you might wanna put the bitrate slightly lower. Around 1000-1100kb/s. You can get a slight increase in visual quality if you lower the audio quality. I recommend dropping the sampling frequency ("Format") to 44.1kHz and bitrate to 64. If audio sounds bad then you could increase the bitrate to 96 or use mono instead of stereo (although the stream obviously loses positional audio from that ofc). You should probably be removing the custom x264 encoder settings from your advanced tab. At least the CRF part. Because you're kind of adhering to several methods of setting quality. That could cause issues. The bitrate should be the quality decider, not the CRF setting (doesn't affect encoding speed, the x264 CPU preset is what affects performance and you already have that at minimum).[/quote]

[quote=Embracing]It was 60 but I changed it to 48. Haven't been able to test it out in game yet since there are login issues rn [img=http://puu.sh/kdiWN/6a21cce1e1.png][/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=Embracing]It was 60 but I changed it to 48.[/quote] Try lowering FPS to 30 and stop downscaling your stream. 3500kb/s is enough for decent quality 1080p streaming.[/quote]
