Bee_Sting Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 i was just wondering what is a good internet speed to stream and record games? comments!:smartass:
EtherealN Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Depends on several factors, but as far as speed goes the most important question is obviously resolution. Streaming at 320 res will obviously require a LOT less bandwidth than 1080p. 2mbit upstream is probably good enough for 320, but you'll most likely want 10mbps or more for a 1080p stream. Also of great importance is which steam we're talking about - you having a good uplink might be completely irrelevant if the streaming service you have chosen is many hops away and has to pass a congested node. Similarly, you want to ensure you have a lot of spare processing power and a good amount of free RAM to be able to effectively run a 1080p stream with all the encoding action.

Bee_Sting Posted November 18, 2011 Author Posted November 18, 2011 the streaming i was talking is gaming streaming or video. what type of programs or devices you will need for a proper stream?
EtherealN Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 By which stream, I basically mean which service. Twitch.tv is relatively good but they do tend to have a lot of issues for the viewer in my area. When it comes to the software used, I unfortunately don't know. I'm sure the streaming services will have guidelines.
