i stream on twitch 

i stream fifa , cs go and division 2

@annihalator 

you will find a video on how to use NotCPUCores (also with its github link) on my YouTube Channel

set it as i posted before

when streaming on twitch you should use 720p50 or 720p60 - you can watch the playlist on my YT about that (also check out the original files on the googledrive link i provided on those videos)

720p50@4500kbps + 1500kb or 1350kb buffer looks best
use the given settings

@benman2785 

I really need to use notcpucores?

For 720p50 what x264 options i use?

4500kbs and 1500kbs buffer?

i use "faster" "main" "none" 

x264 options =force-cfr=1 deblock=-3:2 rc-lookahead=10 sync-lookahead=5

i will get a good quality ?

@annihalator 

yes you should use NotCPUCores
NotCPUCores will force your game to run on physical cores only = best performance for your game
NotCPUCores will force OBS on 4 SMT-Cores = enough power for x264 encoding and not using the cores the game runs on

when you dont use it you will loose fps in game and also maybe have encoder lag in OBS (as they share the same cores)

your settings are good for 720p50

its nearly max quality you can get ;)

FOR RYZEN 5 2600 USE:

this will give good results

@benman2785 

I use like this notcpu

fifa 21 physcial cores 1,3,5,7,9,11 normal

obs non physcial cores 2,4,6,8 above normal 

that is diferent what you show me on pictures

i want to use 720p60 , tell me all settings i need , bitrate custom buffer etc ... 

thx alot for help me

[benman2785]

@annihalator 

NotCPUCores is set correctly

as cores 1,3,5,7,9,11 are your 6 physical cores ;)

try these settings:

if getting "encoder lag" (check in OBS log after stream) then use "fast" main" or "faster" "main"
dont forget to set OBS priority to "above normal" or "high" in OBS Advanced tab

also - better use 720p50 - as it gives more bitrate per pixel than 720p60 (as shown here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ9nWzw_bSDEsbUjvBagwa6iskAEkpvcV)

EDIT: ALSO USE "LANCZOS" when rescaling

@benman2785 

streamlabs dont have the option 50 pal, can i use the same settings for 60fps?

[benman2785]

yes you can use this for 60fps - but you could also simply put in 50fps manually (i guess)

[annihalator]

@benman2785 

I cant , i write 50 and change for 60 again , that why im asking if i use that settings for 60 

bitrate 4500 

buffer 1500

faster - main -none 

x264 options = level=4.1 force-cfr=1 cabac=1 deblock=-3:2 rc-lookahead=10 sync-lookahead=5 aq-mode=1 aq-strength=1.33
