OBS Bespoke Setup: your rig, not somebody else’s tutorial

What you get

RigWave checks the supported OBS setup, available encoders, GPU/CPU headroom, resolution, frame rate, audio path, measured connection evidence and the selected streaming service. It then proposes supported settings at the strongest sensible quality the rig can sustain and re-reads OBS afterwards to confirm what actually took.

Why setup-specific settings help

More quality when your rig has room. More restraint when it does not. The aim is to find the strongest sensible operating point for the machine in front of you, explain the compromise and verify the effective settings instead of hiding behind a generic preset.

Platform-aware, not one-size-fits-all

The V1.0 target is simple: do not leave useful quality on the table, and do not push past what the rig can carry. For each supported service, RigWave uses that service’s current output rules as the ceiling, then chooses within detected PC and measured upload headroom.

• Video encoder and encoder preset where safely supported.
• Output resolution, scaling method and frame rate.
• Video bitrate and rate control with headroom for network overhead.
• Keyframe interval and other service-required output values.
• Audio sample rate, channels and bitrate where supported.
• Network resilience options such as dynamic bitrate only when appropriate.
• A lower-load fallback when the higher-quality option would put the stream at risk.

Important: a platform allowing a heavier mode does not make it a good choice for every PC. Multi-encode features can improve viewer options while also increasing load, so “supported by the platform” is never treated as “switch it on regardless”.
