Set the Bitrate to 6000 Kbps if streaming to Twitch or 10000 Kbps if streaming to YouTube.

Change the Rate Control dropdown to CBR.

Change the Encoder option to NVENC (for NVIDIA GPUs) or H264/AVC (for AMD GPUs).

Change the Output Mode dropdown to Advanced and select the Streaming tab.

From the settings window, select the Output tab.

Open OBS Studio and click on Menu > Settings.

To enable GPU Encoding, follow the steps below:

Have a look at our guide for screen recording with AMD Radeon.

On a side note, AMD graphics cards may not benefit as strongly from the below as they feature an AMF encoder rather than a true onboard hardware encoder. We have previously covered more about hardware acceleration if you're interested. This can improve the visual quality of your stream without impacting your computer’s performance and possibly even release resources for your gameplay to hit peak frames-per-second (FPS) once again if you were struggling with lower frame rates when streaming. Newer NVIDIA graphics cards feature an onboard hardware encoder that can almost exactly match the quality of the x264 encoder, whilst moving a large bulk of processing onto the graphics card itself. The first thing to do is use GPU encoding.
