Wondering how to improve the quality of my OBS
Could I get help with my video output. I’ve experimented with OBS for a long time. I’m at a HVENC encoding (AMD) with 6000 bitrate and no frame drops and whenever I’m looking at my footage live on twitch it looks super “Pixely” and awful. So I’m wondering if someone can hop into a call with me to test footage and see what can be done cause I really care about quality. I even have Dual Card (NOT CROSSFIRE) so it takes less stress on my GPU
Graphics cards 6 700xt MECH 2X and 6500Xt Mech 2X
Processor: Intel i9-11900K

Some clarifications:
AVC / H.264 is the codec that Twitch and YT support, HEVC / H.265 is a more bitrate-efficient codec but is only supported by YT
For your specific case, the fist thing you can do is raise the bitrate to 8mbps.
Second, you should note that the 6500XT doesn't even support hardware video encoding, so you're not offloading anything to the 6500XT. Even if it did have hardware encoding, the performance cost of having your system copy the framebuffer from the 6700XT to system memory, then from system memory to the 6500XT, would be worse than if you just used the 6700XT. I'd recommend removing the 6500XT from your system.
Third, you can set the encoder settings for streaming to use the following:
Preset: Quality
Profile: High
Max B-Frames: 1
In the
AMF/FFmpeg Options textbox, enter the following: MaxNumRefFrames=4 PAHighMotionQualityBoostEnable=1I use these params personally
EnablePreAnalysis=true PASceneChangeDetectionEnable=false PAHighMotionQualityBoostMode=1 PATemporalAQMode=1 PAFrameSadEnable=true EnableVBAQ=falseI checked addie's videos on those options and he recommended using
EnablePreAnalysis=true OR PAHighMotionQualityBoostMode=1, but not both at the same time
But they can always just test it out themselvesFOR SURE
ITS VERY MUCH A "MILEAGE MAY VARY"
ooops caps
just sharing what I've been using and seeing decent results with
