For your particular card, you shouldn't need to mess with Output Format or Buffering options. In this case, you would set the card to 1920x1080 and then do the downscaling in OBS. You'll want to go no lower than 2500 bitrate for 720p60fps, and the closer you can get to 3000 without dropping frames or causing your game to lag, the better (if you are playing online, anyway).ĭepending on the capture card, you may have to choose custom resolution and match it to the source you are capturing. Whichever one you use is purely personal preference. I would recommend trying either the Bicubic or Lanczos downscale filter to clear up the image. That is the correct way to downscale, yes. Under my capture card's properties, should I have it set to custom resolution or just have it use default? Should I be using the Change Output Format and Buffering options under the capture card properties?Īny other settings I should take a look at? Is that the correct setting if I am streaming a game console? My Xbox One display settings are set to output at 1080p, however I think the game I usually play (Call of Duty Ghosts) runs at 720p on the console. I currently have it set to 1920x1080 and then have it downscaled 1.50 (1280x720). I'm a bit confused about the 'Base Resolution' setting in OBS. My goal is to stream 720p 60fps and have a really great looking stream. What would be the best settings for streaming? (streaming my Xbox One game console only at the moment).

Hey guys, just recently got myself an Avermedia ExtremeCap U3 capture card.
