Here's some streaming tips:
1. Run OBS as an admin-Trust me. It makes all the difference!
2. ALWAYS use GPU encoding unless you have a separate stream PC so you can save some CPU horsepower for alerts and things like that.
3. Ensure your bit-rate is high enough, but not unnecessarily high. For example, using a 6000kb/s bit-rate on a 720p60fps stream is superfluous, but then again, so is a 2000ks/s bitrate on that same 720p60fps.
I personally use 5000kb/s on a 720p60fps stream, and use the extra headroom to set my quality to the highest quality instead of the fastest speed. Happy Streaming!
Edit: Obviously this comment was intended for lower end systems. People with 12-16 cores OBVIOUSLY shouldn’t need this kind of advice. Also side note, my system is a Ryzen 5 2600 OC 4.1GHZ and a Vega 56 with 16gb 3200mhz RAM in case you wanted my situation👍

This is why I love this channel. Unlike most tech YouTubers, Jay tries to convince you to spend less money, not more.

Alternative way to make you livestream look smoother:


Instead of capping your FPS to your livestream's FPS, just go to the video setting in OBS, change from "Common FPS Value" to either "Integer FPS Value" or "Fractional FPS Value" (Note that "Integer FPS Value" will probably be maximally capped at 120 FPS and no greater than that, at least it was for me).


Now you can set a greater than 60 FPS value (also works for recording).


Beware that since you are sending more information to Twitch, in other words, Bitrate, you might wanna sacrifice some resolution, especially if you are not sending 6000Kbps already.


Don't get fooled to what Twitch says. It will show you that you are recording in 60 FPS but the stream will noticibly look smoother doing so. I was also watching someone who did that and told me that it had worked for him.

The fix for fps stutters when high fps is as simple as opening OBS in administrator

Yea, BF V has kinda had that theme going since launch

One thing you need to test because its Twitch: overlays, alerts and camera. This is the standard for a streamer. Not testing the PC to stream with those active is pointless.

1660 Super is actually a good streaming GPU since it still has the new NVENC encoder. Was streaming on a 3770K a few months ago with this GPU.

I run 3 music livestreams and my settings are so finely tuned youwouldn't believe it! I squeeze everything I can out of one small nuc i5 system with onboard graphics and two virtual machines.

One tip when benchmarking OBS is viewing it’s streaming/recording stats. You can view it by clicking view > docks > stats. It shows stats of when frames are missed due to rendering lag or skipped due to encoding lag, or the average time to render the frames, CPU and memory usage, even if there’s dropped frames during your stream/recording. It’s a big help instead of relying on viewing your own stream on twitch for any performance hits. Hope that helps!

When I talk to most streamers Im friends with, they dont claim their stream pc makes the stream look better but they still get max performance out of the hardware they bought in game and if a problem occurs like a crash, the stream stays live while they restart or troubleshoot the problem.

Hey jay, I've been through it all, two PCs, low end hardware etc. I started streaming with a 950 and a i5 4690k, it was ... manageable. As long as you don't use intensive overlays/effects for your stream and just stick to barebone settings in game and good balance of settings in OBS you can get through streaming on low end hardware. I tried two PCs as well but it really didn't seem worth it anymore.

The best solution is what you've shown here. A good PC and put the money that you had for a second PC towards a main PC. You no longer need 2 pcs to stream in 2020. Kinda how SLI isn't cool anymore.

Does anyone notice, how when Intel was the top dog - we didnt have these kinds of tests.

Process lasso is also an amazing tool to help with single PC streaming. Being able to lock programs to certain cores/threads so they arent competing is so helpful.

Yeah I tried playing and streaming off the same PC for a long time before I made the switch. Adding things like overlays and nice WebCams and microphones and Discord hurts your CPU usage as well.

our definition of entry level is clearly different Jay :p. Saluting ya from Italy

When you mentioned playing at a multiple of your stream target fps, obs has a 48 frames setting which is 1/3 of 144 hz.

I thought Jay was gonna show us how to split some of the Cores to dedicated streaming like he said in one of his last videos
