I tried it, but I had a lag in the game .. I had 180-200 fps and ping 5-15

Then that should be what you asked for help with in your original post. :) Please post a log file.

The log file looks fine, though your bitrate is low for a 720p30 stream (that will affect video quality, not game performance). What kind of FPS and ping are you seeing while streaming?

 

[dze_xon]

My ping during stream is 5-15 (It depends according to the server) and FPS 150-200

A 5-15 ping and 150-200 frame rate sound more than acceptable to me. What kind of performance were you expecting?

 

[dze_xon]

i know its good fps and ping, but i have lags while i am stream. I do not understand it :/

 

[Sapiens]

You need to explain what you mean by "lags". Your frame rate drops? Your latency increases? Something else?

I've got the same problem as dze_xon has over here. I got an i5 3570k @ 4.8 ghz and a gtx 780 and over 50 mbs upload speed. I range in the high 300 fps whilst streaming while averaging a ping of 8 and I still have some lagg. It's no fps lagg, nor some kind of delay caused by ping. It's more of a stutter. It ain't as fluent as it's supposed to be. I got a 144 hz monitor, and whilst streaming it feels like 60 hz.

At first I thought it would be because of high cpu usage, so I capped my framerate to 144 and downscaled from 720p@60 fps to 720p@30 fps and I still had the same stutter at only 70 percent cpu usage. It's very strange. I'd really like an answer for this aswell, so that's the main reason why I respond, instead of making a thread of my own.

If you are using comcast as your provider, it is possible you are not getting reliable speedtest results. They use something called PowerBoost that can bloat results of speedtests.

I'm pretty sure it's not my internet provider. I did a 10 MB speedtest on testmy.net/upload (much more reliable than speedtest.net) and I had a constant 72 mbit/sec upload without drops. I'm pretty sure its pc related, not network related (besides that, I have KPN as a provider, which does not have any PowerBoosts (fibre internet) ). It either has to do with the capture method of "Gamecapture" or it is my cpu, or just the game itself. I'm gonna try recording the gameplay through Dxtory and see if it still results in any stutter/lag.
