In this tutorial, I'll show you the best OBS settings for streaming 2024. When it comes to streaming, your best bet is to use your GPU's built-in video encoder. Not all computers have these options, but most gaming PCs do. If you have an NVIDIA graphics card, you will want to set the encoder to NVIDIA NVENC H.264. If your PC has an AMD graphics card, you will want to use the AMD HW H.264 video encoder. In situations where none of these options are available, you will want to stream with x264.

Another important OBS streaming setting is speed control. This is the method used when encoding your stream. The best rate control for live streams is CBR as it provides consistent quality for your stream.

Additionally, you also want to have the best bitrate for streaming. The higher your bitrate, the better the quality of your stream will be. However, streaming platforms such as Twitch and YouTube do have bitrate restrictions. Another factor to consider is your upload speed, as this limits the bitrate you can stream at.

The best bitrate for streaming to Twitch is 8000, but 6500 is also a good option. When streaming to YouTube, you can set your bitrate to 10,000, provided your upload speed allows it. By maximizing your bitrate while streaming, you can ensure that your viewers get a good viewing experience.

If you experience a laggy stream, you can usually solve this by lowering your bitrate. Sometimes low-end PCs may not be able to stream at the best bitrate. However, there is a solution. If your stream is laggy, you can reduce the bitrate and frame rate. With a lower frame rate (FPS), a lower bit rate looks better.

To ensure you have the best OBS stream settings, you can test increasing the encoder settings. If you are experiencing dropped frames, you should lower the settings. Since there's a lot more than just bitrate to consider, there's a lot to play with. However, not every setting makes a big difference when streaming.

As a preset, you will want to use the P6: Slower (better quality) or P7: Slowest (best quality) option. However, you can lower this if necessary.

Once you have the best OBS settings for streaming, you need to apply them. This will save the settings that you can use every time you stream.
