📎 AI Summary:
The forum thread discusses issues with poor streaming quality in OBS when trying to stream Xbox gameplay, with the original poster experiencing low output resolution despite setting 720p. A contributor suggests adjusting the resolution settings to 1080p, while another advises that hardware limitations—such as the PC’s CPU and GPU—are likely the main bottlenecks, recommending hardware upgrades and updating drivers to improve performance. Overall, the consensus indicates that the current hardware is insufficient for high-quality streaming, and software adjustments alone may not resolve the issues.

Hi,

I just strated streaming games but my OBS doesn't even let me stream games better at 720p. The resolution is 720p but the output is like 360p. Which is outrageous, is there any solution?

Things i use:
OBS (Stream Elements)

PC specs:
CPU: i5 (2nd Gen)
RAM: 12GB
Storage: 2TB
Graphics Card: 2GB ATI Radeon
Internet: 20mb (1mb/sec download)

How am i streaming:
I'm casting Xbox screen to my PC (via Xbox companion app on windows) then streaming it. I get high quality on my screen but the stream is lagging as well as killing the quality on output only.

It's your PC hardware....it's a big bottleneck. You need a minimum of a 4Gb GPU and at least a 4th gen CPU if going intel.

That said, check your mobo for any driver updates/chipset and possibly a BIOS update that may have fixes and improvements that may help alleviate some of the load you're experiencing. I say it may help.
