Hi, when I am running OBS and anything resembling a demanding game, my CPU is slammed to 100% in Task Manager.
Here's my most recent log:
I'm pretty sure the issue is my hardware, which isn't exactly the freshest (particularly the overclocked 2500k.) My question is, what should I aim for as a CPU upgrade? Would going to quad-core provide any benefit?
Edit: GPU suggestions would be appreciated too. I'm looking to go back to Nvidia next upgrade, specifically a GTX760. Should I get as much VRAM as possible?
Here's my most recent log:
