Watching Stream/Video while Playing Games

Evann · June 9, 2016

Hi,

so when i game, i often watch things like Amazon Prime, Youtube, Twitch etc. on my Second screen. But when i do, games don't feel really smooth anymore.. the FPS are in most of the Games fine.. but its microstuttering.. the Videogame just doesn't feel smooth at all..

i am using an i5 6600 with a GTX 970 and 16GB DDR4 RAM.. since RAM and GPU rarely get full100% Usage, i was sure the CPU has to be that bottleneck.. and what do i see when i look into the Taskmanager?

Perma. 100% CPU Usage.. (using chrome btw.)

So some Questions here..

Do you agree with me, that the CPU is the bottleneck in this situation?

Would a BCLK OC make a noticeable difference? I already got the Right BIOS installed, and have with my CoolerMaster Nepton 240m AiO equvialent cooling.

Thanks!
