Top 10 Duel links tips

A common problem many streamers face is performance issues. OBS by default uses the CPU for encoding, but high CPU usage may affect stream quality on some devices, leading to dropped frames and less quality. If recording with OBS leads to high CPU usage, you might instead choose to do the encoding using your graphics card (GPU). This can improve the performance of your stream by relieving some of the strain on the CPU. To change to hardware encoding, simply go to Settings > Output.  From the drop-down menu, you can select the GPU you are using.

Bitrate is the quality of the video OBS uploads to the streaming platform. You can adjust the Bitrate in Settings > Output. Finding your ideal bitrate can ensure your streams run smoothly on the viewer’s end. To find your ideal bitrate, you first have to know your upload speed. You can use a tool like speedtest.net to find information about your internet connection. Theoretically, you want a bit rate that is a bit lower than your upload speed. But if you have amazing upload speeds, why not go ahead and use crazy high bitrates? Well, that’s not always such a good idea. A bitrate that is too big will cause issues for viewers of your stream. While some streaming platforms transcode the video for the audience, you cannot always trust that that will work correctly. On the other end, it is recommended to have a bitrate that is not less than 2000 kbps, as anything below that will probably cause pixelation in your video. The key takeaway here is to know your upload speed and adjust your bitrate accordingly, and avoid super high bitrates altogether. Lowering your bitrate can also ease the pressure on the CPU encoding, so it’s a good measure against performance issues.

One of the best things you can do for your stream is to improve your audio quality. You might not have a professional, studio-grade mic. In that case, you can use audio filters to improve the quality of the audio. The noise suppression filter blocks out unwanted background noise. We recommend adding the suppression filter as a default setting for your setup. Other useful filters are the Noise Gate and the Gain Filter. Both can improve your audio significantly if used correctly.

If you find your stream’s performance suffering, you might want to downscale the resolution. For example, you can choose to downscale the resolution from 1080p to 720p. A lower resolution means your CPU has to do less work by encoding fewer pixels. To change the resolution of your stream, go to Settings > Video. You also have the option to choose what downscaling filter you want to use to lower the resolution. We recommend selecting Bilinear if you are streaming on a less powerful device.

For most people, when it comes to what frame rate to stream in, the choice usually falls between 30 fps and 60 fps. If you are dealing with limited resources on your computer, you need to find the right balance between frame rate and resolution, and which one to prioritize. What framerate you decide to go with will depend on what you are streaming; A fast-paced action shooter might really need those 60fps compared to an open-world single-player where you might get away with 30 fps.

Any card-dueling game will require you to build up the deck meticulously. Yu Gi Oh Duel Links is no different. Here, you have got the option to create decks automatically, if you want. However, I suggest you do not exercise this option. In fact, I believe it is better if you figure out things for yourself. Just remember, when you start off, your team should ideally comprise of 1-4 star monsters. The idea here is to chip away at your opponents and then gradually include better-rated monsters in your team.
