I would just like to say, there's a chance this could perform better if you try the following and are not gaming on the macbook you are streaming from. I would have rather kept them and gone for around 3000kb/s.įor a 1080p 60FPS stream, you need at least an 8mb (ideally more) internet connection and to send 8000kbps.įurther info here and there is a good guide inside this OBS forum somewhere:
I once had my stream running at 5,000 kb/s and most viewers were fine but a cluster of them kept buffering and opted to leave.
#Best fps for mac 2017 720p#
Your viewers would rather watch a 30fps 720p video that doesn't buffer than a glitchy 60fps 1080p.
Keep in mind that if your viewers will be watching on mobile phones you need to keep the bitrate between 20 which restricts you to 720p 30fps or 60fps. OBS recently gave us all the ability to use the Hardware encoder via AMD - it doesn't look as nice but it is okay for how I stream (DJing), not sure about high framerate gaming. Many of the macbooks you can buy used or new have these and you would switch the OBS Settings in Output to "H264 Apple VT Hardware Encoder" with Keyframes set to 2. That said, if you absolutely must go Apple Mac, make sure you get one that does not only have the Intel Graphics but also has an AMD Graphics card. I can firmly say that if I had the choice, although I much prefer the apple macs to use day to day, they have had a rougher time with streaming and I would go with a windows laptop or pc with NVIDIA Graphics card that supports NVENC because you can then get good framerates at higher resolutions. I own a variety of macbooks, imacs and Windows setups.
