Best OBS Settings for Low-End PCs (Twitch 2026 Guide)

Описание: If your Twitch stream is lagging, dropping frames, or turning into a slideshow the second you go live, this is for you. In this video, I walk you through the exact OBS settings for low-end PCs in 2026 so you can stream smoothly on Twitch without upgrading your hardware.

No fluff. No unnecessary tweaks. Just the settings that actually matter.

We'll cover:

• The correct base & output resolution
• Why 720p at 30fps can outperform 1080p for low end PC's
• The best encoder choice (NVENC vs x264)
• The ideal bitrate for low-end systems
• Performance-focused advanced settings
• The OBS tweaks that secretly kill your stream
• Background app mistakes that destroy stability

Twitch streaming isn’t about raw power, it’s about efficiency. Most budget PCs can stream just fine when configured correctly.
