does ram speed matter for streaming

[Richard_nerd]

hey guys

 

I am doing a live stream on a pc the specs are

 

550w psu

i5 - 4670k

660 ti

8gb ddr3 1600mhz

240gb sandisk ssd

4tb HDD

 

every time I do the stream it does what has happened on the video below, my theory is the ram speed

(it is not your pc playing the video badly)

That Pc is probably not up to par for streaming. I think you are either running out of ram, or you are using the GPU to encode, which would mean you are running out of vram, or just stressing it too far. It's unlikely that your ram speed is the issue here, not impossible, but there are a lot of other things I would point my finger at first.

It's the PC itself, not the ram but mostly the GPU - 660 is before they added a dedicated encoder. 

[Richard_nerd]

although my gpu memory or encoding is not running at 100% and also my memory is also at 4gb out of 8

[Richard_nerd]

although I am using a elgato

hd 60fps recording card and I am transferring it through mini usb, so would that be the problem?

1. 4 cores cpu, Battlefield 5 (is it?) loves cores. I think 4 cores is the minimum.

2. gtx660

3. the 8gb should be full with what you're doing, looks like windows is storing some memory to the HDD to make some headroom. I think this is what caused the lag.

if this helps this is the task manager screen while I am streaming

Bitrate? Upload speed? RAM isn't issue, but you could do with hyperthreading or more physical cores. If you have money, you can look for i7 upgrade, that will help.
