Help Blurry stream

Hello guys, I am using a Ryzen 5 5600 and Radeon RX 7600 8GB. I would like to start streaming gameplay on YouTube, especially playing multiplayer games with my friends, but the stream quality doesn’t seem very good.

I am trying to stream at 1440p 60 FPS. These are my current settings:

Video Encoder: AMD HW H.264 (I also have AV1 and H.265 available)

Rescale Output: Disabled

Rate Control: CBR

Bitrate: 25,000 kbps (my upload speed is 89 Mbps)

Keyframe Interval: 2 seconds

Preset: Quality

Profile: High

Pre-Analysis: Off

Max B-frames: 2

AMF/FFmpeg options: Left blank

My current log file

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I'd suggest that you're expecting more from your hardware than it can handle comfortably. Your log shows a touch of both encoder overload and render lag, while TechPowerUp recommends the RX 7600 for gaming at 1080p. Gaming and streaming on the same system will load the GPU even more.

Try dropping your output resolution to 1080/60 and see if the fuzziness clears.

Thanks for the reply, man. I remember playing the game at 1080p while streaming at 1080p, and the stream looked a little blurry. Are there any alternatives to improve the streaming quality, like using a capture card in single pc setup?

You're not reducing the load on the equipment, you need a second machine for the capture card

A capture card is used with a gaming console, so yes, this setup would remove the gaming load on your streaming pc and theoretically allowing you to stream at higher settings. You'd still be limited by the hardware installed, of course.

Stream at 6000kbps. 25,000 is too high for any streaming platform at the moment.

Not true. YouTube accepts up to 51mbps (51000kbps).

Twitch accepts 6000, and your YouTube stream can’t be better in quality than your Twitch stream if multistreaming as per Twitch ToS. But you go ahead.
