Streaming Processor

[Elegy]

I currently have an fx-6300 and just upgraded to a gtx 970. I was trying to get my friends to see what my new games were like. I started streaming battlefront and barely had an fps drop so I thought i could stream rainbow six siege. I started having very bad fps drops, i had 60+ fps then it would drop down to 5. I would like to stay within the AM3+ Processors so I can save some money and not have to buy a new motherboard. Tell me what upgrades I should make to make this a streaming boss.

 

 

My Build:

 

fx-6300

2x 4gb g.skill ram

GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3P AM3+

MSI GTX 970

full tower case

600w psu

 

 

Thanks for your help

Hello, I am using an AMD FX8350. I'm very happy with it and it is AM3+. I also own an I7 2600k and it is quite similar in performance.

If you don't want a new motherboard your best option would be an 8350. But your current motherboard probably won't be able to handle much of a overclock.

Keep in mind, dips in framerate will still happen. AMD fx cpus don't perform well in games. The impact from streaming with an 8350 will be a lot less though

That's because Battlefront isn't really demanding. They focused all of their efforts in making the game look pretty and run smoothly (for single cards anyway), instead of actually making the gameplay any good.

 

Regardless, the best you can do is.... uh........... Well, I guess you could try to find a used 8350? The frame drops will still happen anyway, but there's really nothing else you can do if you aren't willing to buy a new mobo.

 

Oh, and you can also buy a cooler and OC the hell out of your 6300. In fact, that's what I'd do right now.
