1 PC streaming questions.

Hello LTT, 

 

Question #1 :

 

so I've started streaming about a month ago and I've been growing on twitch, when I started things were very smooth no frame drops great quality,

recently my PC started acting up, I've been getting huge frame drops, even my ingame FPS started to get to low 70s in Call of Duty MW, I usually average between 110-130 frames 

 

PC specs are 

CPU : i7 8700k 

RAM : Corsair 3600 MHz 32 GB Ram

GPU : Auros 5700 XT 

SSD : M.2 and SATA SSDs

PSU : 750w PSU

 

looking at system performance while streaming everything is fine, my CPU load gets upto 80-90%

and GPU gets up to 70-80% no thermal issues I'm wondering if there's something wrong software wise? 

 

Question #2 :

 

for those who know about these kind of stuff, if I get a capture card (avermedia Live 4k 60) will it help on a single PC? for streaming and recording at the same time? 

 

 

thank you in advance

1. Well, helps if you tell which software and settings. Your CPU usage is higher than what I would expect, but then again, you are playing rather badly optimized game.

 

2. No. Capture cards don't have encoders. They are there if you capture from camera, console or another such source (like another PC).

Sorry for the very very late reply, I run Streamlabs OBS on these settings

Keyframe Interval : 2

CPU Usage : Veryfast

Profile : High

 

Playing on 2K base resolution

Output : 720p @ 60 FPS

please let me know if you need any other information.

You have bit too high for 720p60 than what's required. It only needs like 4500kbps.

I understand, but I'm looking for a very crisp image. might even bump it to 864p, still thats not the main topic. 

why is my PC becoming extremely unusable as soon as I start streaming, though it was completely fine before.

If it has just start happening, reason is usually some software, OS or driver update. As in something that has changed.
