I've recently started streaming. I'm looking for what you guys think I should try on OBS for Max Bit Rate and Buffer Size. I don't know if it matters, but my PC specs are listed as well.
Superoverclocked GTX 660
Intel Core i5-3450 Ivy Bridge 3.1GHz
8 GB of Corsair RAM

I'd try something like 5000 kbps at 60 fps for the max bitrate. Keep buffer the same.
Of course, I'm assuming your computer is up to it.

What hooky said should be about right. You could probably use a lower bitrate than that though, and I wouldn't recommend streaming at 60fps without overclocking.

Thanks, that link was really helpful. Gonna try 3000 Max Bitrate with a 5 or maybe 6 quality. I was running 6000 Max Bit Rate the other night, and my viewers were experience some slight stuttering and i'd like to eliminate that. Will report back with my findings.

Are you getting dropped frames? You might want to try streaming to a different server. The server nearest to me dropped frames frequently when I tried streaming.

I was getting a constant 120 never dropping, but if you mean dropped frames for the viewers than I guess so.

If you are streaming with OBS, there is a bar along that bottom that shows stream status things. Dropped frames are in there. I don't know how other broadcasting software shows it.
Also, I'm not 100% positive of this, so maybe someone else can clarify, but if someone is watching your stream on the highest resolution (often the only resolution), then I believe that their download speed will need to be higher than whatever bitrate you are streaming at. 6000 may be a bit high for someone people to stream video at, which could explain drops, but again I'm not certain on this.

3000 works well for me, super smooth for the viewers and barely any lag for me. Thanks a bunch guys!
