Depends on what quality uou want to stream at.
As people have said you will want at least a megabit up maybe even two.
But the main hurdle is normally the computer rather than the uppload speed. unless you are stuck in rural england like me.

Yeah, you can be fine with as low as 1-2mb unless you want to stream in HD.
But as he stated, your computer is the biggest issue, you can expect a bare minimum of 50% reduction in framerate in basically anything you're streaming, regardless of the resource usage of the game. That can be extremely rough on your own performance.
Honestly, just experiment, you won't know until you try and it's far from hard to set up in most cases. I've not had much experience with xsplit admittedly, I tried it at one point and being unwilling to pay out to stream to a whopping two friends, the only free option at the time was Flash Media Encoder, which I've never had a positive relationship with. That may have changed.

Huh, I hadn't heard of it, it does sound interesting.
It's pretty pricey though for personal use, and I loathe watermarks. Otherwise seems like a good option, I'll at least try the demo for sure.
Edit: With a bit of reading it really sounds dependent on a whole pile of variables, the game in question being a big one. DXTory seems to greatly improve streaming of some games and greatly detriment just as many, so I dunno. Each their own.

never really had any problem streaming with DXTory... but that could very well be game dependent - not every game reacts positive to the way such tools hook into the framebuffer.
and yeah it's expensive, but it's also a hell of a lot better than e.g. FRAPS.
recording raw with DXTory on multiple drives has not as much of an impact on framerate than recording on a single drive with FRAPS... :3

55MB/s? that would be at least 440Mbit/s upstream... kinda unlikely ;) (you also probably mean 1920x1080)
with 55kb/s you would be around half an MBit... so I'd recommend trying with about 400kbps.
the XSplit screen capture works but will have quite a large impact on performance.
with DXTory it doesn't really matter what res you are playing on - you can set the streaming / recording resolution to be different.

it is possible, but quality would be a great concern in most modern games would terrible... well it is not a problem for old games with low resolution tho... But with 512mb upload you can stream even StarCraft 2... it would be just blurry ;]

So I've been starting to get interested in Streaming games on Twitch.tv, I was just wondering what kind of internet speed are required. Mine isn't great, but would some changes to settings in Xsplit make it easier to stream smoothly?
