#4 Steaming Quality in Hardware
yttriumDon't bother with NVENC for streaming. In 90% of games (those with movement) it's garbage because of bitrate.

x264 is pretty much it when it comes to streaming. With a desktop i5 I would attempt 720p60 or 1080p30 but wouldn't vary from that, and you might even have trouble with 720p60. You'd need a desktop i7 for rock-solid 720p60 stability. I wouldn't even attempt 1080p60 without an enthusiast 6core+HT i7.

If you're recording locally, NVENC is fine if you turn the bitrate up to around 50mbps.

Have you tried nvenc recently? It's not great but it has improved drastically now since I first tried it about 18 months ago.

#2 Steaming Quality in Hardware

The SSD doesn't matter. You could probably get a decent 720p 60fps 3k bitrate stream out of that but you might see some performance issues on an i5 4570. To alleviate them you could go with an i7 with hyperthreading or you could try quicksync or nvenc which use the integrated GPU on your CPU (for quicksync) or the h264 encoder on your 970 (for nvenc) to encode the video rather than using your CPU. This greatly reduces the CPU load so your performance would be better but the resulting video has a tendency to be a bit blockier during moving scenes which isn't ideal for FPS games. For reference I run the tftv stream off a 4790k at 4.4ghz at 1080p downscaled to 720p, 60fps, 4k bitrate using regular h264 encoding. The reason I can do that is because I only need to run the game at 60fps and I only interact with it using spectator binds not a mouse. If you need to play you want 120fps and a responsive mouse which you won't get by streaming at too high a quality. Our other EU streamers who use i5s use either quicksync or nvenc because we'd rather a slightly blockier 60fps stream over a laggy stream.

That's with a B.

Edit: That's probably at least 100,000 used cars coming on the market too

#29 I58 Computer Security in LAN Discussion

You can be in the LAN area at any time but you can't sleep there. People do find ways to sleep under tables etc though. Might not be true for i58 though, I've not been to an i-series at the NEC yet.

aim-Duckylove_Thanks for all the messages and ideas guys!

I'm glad to hear that people have some manners and are respectful at such an event, It's amazing that we have a community like this!
you could just sleep on the floor if youre that concerned

They're pretty particular about people not sleeping in the LAN halls for insurance and liability reasons but I know of people who've done it.

Maybe people respect the production area more but we've left some pretty expensive stuff just lying around (without stickers at i55) and had no problems.

DougFor anyone that is more updated in the scene nowadays than me... Are those viewers number above the expected prior to the ingame Stream list?

It's been a while since we did a LAN like this but we had 800 at about 4pm GMT earlier which is awesome for a game that early, though I'm not sure how it being Saturday today affected it.
