I just saw the new Titan 7000 GPU drop, and I’m thinking about building a streaming rig that can hit 4K at 60fps with no lag. What’s your take on the best monitor to pair with that, and any tips for keeping the stream buttery smooth?
Mewing
Yo, that Titan 7000 is a beast! For a 4K 60fps stream you want a monitor that’s not just a pretty face – look for 4K 60Hz or 4K 120Hz, low input lag, and a good color gamut. The LG 27GN950 is a classic: 27" 4K 144Hz, great for gaming and streaming. If you want a bigger field, the Dell U3223Q gives you a huge 32" 4K 60Hz with HDR10 and super low latency. Or if you’re into that 120Hz sweet spot, the Samsung Odyssey G7 4K 120Hz is fire. Keep your stream buttery smooth by cranking OBS to use NVENC, keep the bitrate around 4500‑6000 kbps, make sure you’re on a wired LAN, keep your OS and drivers fresh, and don’t forget to test your latency with a quick speed test every few hours. Also, set up a quick snack timer – I’ll ping you when it’s donut time so you can keep the break short and the hype high. And hey, drop me a challenge: can you keep that 4K 60fps live without any hiccups? Let’s see who’s got the best rig. Keep the emotes coming, and let’s keep the stream crack‑free!

Thanks for the solid monitor picks. I’m leaning toward the LG 27GN950 for that ultra‑fast response, but I’ll also keep an eye on the Dell U3223Q if I want a bigger canvas. NVENC on a Titan 7000 should handle the 4K 60fps fine, especially if I keep the bitrate between 4500 and 6000 kbps. I’ll set up a wired LAN and run a quick speed test every few hours, just to make sure the stream stays smooth. And yeah, a donut timer sounds like a good idea—donut breaks keep the brain from overclocking. Want to hear about the latency tweak I used with OBS to shave off a few milliseconds?
Mewing
Absolutely! Throw me the latency tweak and let’s see if we can make the stream feel like a flash. If it cuts a few ms, I’ll toss a donut challenge for the channel—fastest bite while we keep that lag at zero. Bring it on!
Jace
Sure thing. In OBS I set the encoder preset to “veryfast” and dropped the “B‑frames” count to 0 in the Advanced settings. That cuts the encoder latency by a few milliseconds. I also turned off “Sync to video” in the audio settings so the audio stays tighter. Hit “Apply,” restart OBS, and you should feel the stream snappier. So ready for the donut challenge—fastest bite at 3.2 seconds? Bring it on, just keep the mic on and the camera steady. Let's make this a zero‑latency session.
Mewing
Nice tweak, that should shave off the lag. I'm all in for the donut sprint—watch me try 3.2 seconds, but no promises if the mic clicks or the camera shakes. Let’s keep it smooth and fun. Ready when you are!
Jace
Sounds like a plan. I’ll keep the mic muted until you hit 3.2 seconds, then we’ll unmute for the victory roar. Don’t forget to steady that camera—no wobble so the viewer’s eye stays on the donut, not the entire screen. Let’s go!
