Hello,

I have tried multiple settings on OBS, but apparently my stream is really choppy looking. I'm using an elgato to stream and I play smooth, and record with the elgato software perfect and smooth. but when I stream It looks choppy/laggy please help.

My specs:
AMD FX-4100 Quad Core 3.6GHz
8 GB Ram
AMD HD Radeon 6670

did i read that right? because if so then its a problem with encoding of the elgato then again if you would be streaming on your machine you would also run into problems because of your cpu then again the log says you are using x264 encoder


all i can suggest is downscale if you want to stream with that cpu because gaming + streaming on it @720p30 encoding kinda leads into performance issues if your gameplay is fine and you havent changed the process priority settings in obs then go ahead and set those to above normal or high and see if the stream changes

Thanks for the reply I will change the process priority and if that doesn't do anything, I'll just stream not in HD.
