OBS Streamlabs settings with Radeon RX 6700 XT

Honestly it doesn't seem bad to me (but I don't watch Twitch at all, so take this with a huge pinch of salt). 6000kbps is the maximum bitrate, IIRC? It's not the highest quality video encoding I've ever seen, but 5600X+6700 XT is never going to be that, I'm afraid.

Just to check, what resolution are you actually gaming at? Are you running the game at 1080p or 1440p?

It's 1080p for this. Still, being hardware encoded by GPU, it doesn't load on CPU so the quality has to be good, but it isn't

AIUI, the AMD hardware encoding is shared with gameplay, which is a large part of the reason it is less good than NVENC. Afraid I'm at the end of my knowledge here...

NVIDIA is hugely better for streaming, exactly. AMD also has dedicated hardware in the GPU for streaming, so it doesn't rely on CPU (that's what you have X264 for, CPU encoded streaming and it's used when you have a bad / old GPU and that's also where you can encounter problems with a Ryzen 5 5600X), but AMD is way worse in doing it

Indeed: what I'm saying is that Nvidia's solution is a physically separate one; AMD's relies on the same hardware that does the gameplay.
