Hello there! I have tried to live stream for a while without any luck. I play a game called APB:R with 60-80 fps without stream or record. When I activate the stream or record, my fps drops to 30. Not sure if I got enough specs or what the problem might be.
This is my specs:
Corsair TX V2 650W PSU
AMD FX-4100 4-Core Processor
ASUS M5A78L-M LX V2, Socket-AM3+
Crucial DDR3 1333MHz 8GB KIT, CL9
XFX Radeon HD 6870 1GB GDDR5 "Dual Fan"

Please help :)

This?

Downscale to 720p and drop your bitrate to 3000 and you should be fine. Your system is getting overworked by having to capture and encode 1080p, which is why you see lagged frames.

I have tried to downscale it by 1.50 (720p) but it does not change much. So my specs looks ok to stream? I have been told that I would need a capture card to be able to stream, is this true?

No, it's not true at all. Can you post a log from streaming at 720p, though? I'm surprised it wouldn't have gotten rid of your lagged frames.

If possible Switch to the 64bi build and change the audio to aac.. Smoothness is also very important when streaming that game, increase the fps to 40 and downscale by 2.0 see how this trade goes for you.

Try downscaling a little bit further to see if that helps.

Or you can try the superfast preset, though your quality will noticeably degrade.
