CPU Upgrade - Streaming while running 120+FPS

[Gary7]

Currently in games which run at ultra at about 100+fps (overwatch, call of duty) are maxing out my 4670k at around 93-99% load. This means I cant stream as there is no available CPU bandwidth.

I was wondering if upgrading to a 7700k will alleviate this or will all 8 threads still be maxed out as I'll be running even higher FPS?

If you are running at the highest FPS that PC can push, then yes, it may still be maxed out, unless graphics power becomes limitation.

 

Another option is to limit the FPS.

You want to stream at 120 FPS or you want to play at 120FPS while streaming at 30FPS?

Either way, that depends on how much CPU bound the game is.

Ryzen 7 or 5 (6c,12t) for balancing gaming and streaming.

Have you tried streaming via you GPU?

Nvidia shadowplay or AMD relive

 

There's a small hit to framerate, about 2-5%.

aye I would suggest one of these two, personally the R7 line up looks nice, due to the cheap 8 cores, and reasonable pricing for the 8 core, (approx. double quad cores), that being said the 6 cores also look good, either will do you, but I feel that now more gamers are getting octa cores that games will optimise themselves for octa cores more, meaning that in the future more cores might become better for gaming, no promises here though

Play at 120+FPS while streaming, have a 144hz Panel

I have not tried this. Have been using OBS. If this primarily utilises the GPU then this may solve my issue. Thanks!
