The default bicubic downscale filter is fine too if you know you have a beefy system going for Lanczos is just a tad nicer. Since we want to stream FPS (First Person Shooters) games as well we will change the FPS (Frames per Second) to 60, but you can leave it on 30 if you play slower games.

If you’re worried about your cpu performance, leaving it on 720p default is fine. The output resolution is up to you: 1080p is great if you have a beefy system, but 720p or 940p are fine for most scenario’s. Change the base resolution to the resolution of your gaming monitor (default is 1920x1080p, and chances are that’s what you’re gaming on anyway). Start by going to the ‘settings’ button in the lower right hand corner, and press the video tab. Help! Tons of buttons and options! Thankfully you can ignore most. If it offers auto configuration: skip that for now. Press ‘next’ a few times and pretend you actually read all the terms and conditions, and soon enough you’ll be looking at OBS on your desktop. Start by downloading the OBS software from. In this post we’ll start easy: we’ll start streaming our screen action, and add a webcam to it. Unlike with Nvidia Shadowplay the performance impact on your pc is something to consider, so we’ll go in-depth on that in the next update on our streaming adventure. In this part we want to show you that with only a few small tips it is actually surprisingly easy to start streaming with it. However many people look up to it as a complex, option-reach software package.

OBS is a trusted name for live streamers, known for its many options and no doubt the fact that its free helps a bit too. So for our high-end GeForce GTX 1080 Ti based system we turned towards a (semi-) pro streaming tool: OBS. The settings are fairly limited and the quality of live streaming could be a a bit better. However as an advanced live streaming tool we were left wanting a bit more. Starting your game recordings really doesn’t get any easier than with Shadowplay, and it has almost no effect on system performance: if you can play a game on a certain setting, you can record it. Last update we used Nvidia Shadowplay as a recording and streaming tool, together with our GeForce GTX 1060 build. This content is also available in Dutch, click here to switch
