Follow these steps to adjust your obs for your low-end pc.

1.2 Video adjustments

To improve your video settings for a low-end setup, you need to deal with the Base Canvas resolution. You can set your resolution to 1280×720 so it fits your streaming setup. This resolution ensures that the stream runs smoothly on OBS. You can also test with different settings to figure out the right streaming setting for you.

Once that’s sorted out, you can move on to the Output Scaled Resolution. You want to set this to 1280×720. This will give your viewers the best viewing experience. If you find that the footage is lagging, you can try to move the setting down. After that, adjust the Downscale Filter. You can select Bilinear if you don’t plan on scaling between the base and output canvas. If you want to scale from 1080p to 780p then try the bicubic setting.

You can leave your FPS type at 30.

2. Output adjustments

You can either stream from your CPU or your GPU. This depends on whether your card has better performance than your pc. For option 1, you can start from 1280×720 and reduce it if you have problems maintaining quality.

For option 2, use a bitrate of 2500 and a resolution of 1280×720.
