Question / Help Choppy ingame/not smooth when streaming CS:GO

I have a decent computer but whenever I try streaming CS:GO the game gets choppy enough that I can't move and aim properly so my performance suffers. I get a smooth 280+ fps ingame when not streaming. Much disappoint because I was expecting to be able to stream at 720p/60fps no problem. Even tried downscaling to 1096x616 at 40 fps but still choppy.

PC specs:
i5 4670k
EVGA GTX 760
Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB RAM
Samsung 840 EVO 128GB SSD
30/5 TWC internet

CS:GO launch options:
-high
-novid
+fps_max 129
+rate 128000
-noaafonts

CS:GO video settings:
Resolution: 1920x1080
Fullscreen Windowed
Global Shadow Quality: Very Low
Model/Texture Detail: Medium
Effect Detail: Medium
Shader Detail: Low
Multicore Rendering: Enabled
Multisampling Anti-Aliasing Mode: 2x MSAA
Texture Filtering Mode: Bilinear
FXAA Anti-Aliasing: Disabled
Wait for Vertical Sync: Disabled
Motion Blur: Disabled

Here is the latest log from when I played a competitive matchmaking game but turned the stream off after the first few rounds: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/a6de413a6deae7882619

you got some weird settings going in that log...

but 720p60 isnt really that smart of an idea with an i5 and also while playing an game with an cpu based engine.


also make sure to limit your fps to something like 120 ingame and set -high in your startup priorities for csgo

which settings are weird?

what settings would be best for me?

fps_max is usually at 129 and it is -high

you changed your scene buffering also a quite odd resolution downscale you are running on and you stream with 40 fps.

in your case i wouldnt really consider using more than 720p30 while gaming + streaming on an i5

you might aswell disabled multisampling since it is another cpu taxing feature

weird i dont remember touching scene buffering.

im using game capture and fullscreen windowed mode for csgo. I disabled aero and the game got noticeably smoother. did that really affect it or am i just getting a placebo effect?

edit: i think disabling aero really did the trick. i tried 720p60 and 1080p30 and theyre both silky smooth ingame now
