Hello community and streamers ! :) ,

I have the problem when I stream Battlefield 4 goes my CPU at 95 % load and I get strong FPS dips . I can any other game that streams such for Star Wars Battlefront or Call of Duty .

Now I am thinking the i7 2600 to sell and to buy me the AMD FX 8350 I will of course to bring me a good motherboard to the FX 8350 to overclock strongly .

Would be worth it or rather no .

System:

i7 2600

ASRock H61 Pro BTC

GTX 780

16GB Ram

OBS settings :

720p @ 30fps

3000 kbit / s

very fast

I hope you can help me ! :)

Sorry for that english i translate this at Google Translater xD

AMD cores are much slower than Intel's with same clock thats why amd offers 6 and 8 and thats not enough in many cases today. Read cpu rewievs and benchmarks on sites like http://www.guru3d.com/ and http://www.techpowerup.com/ and make no mistake!

Fx-8370 is not that bad of a sidegrade to a 2600k at all. The cores are on par w/ the 2600 easily, no where near a 4790k but still you'll choke your i5 out with any form of streaming. However, an i7 2600k shouldn't struggle to keep up at 720p 30 at all...and 95% CPU usage is absurd, on an AMD FX-8320 and an old i5-2500k I don't push past 55% cpu usage on obs by itself, maybe with a game running on the i5 it'd start to ramp up. I'd say something is wrong with your pc tbh.

@VooDoo Im not sure if I understand you correctly but streaming on i5-6600K@4,5 with below settings on high performance mode enabled in windows power management is max 6% cpu. jumps to 20% on balanced mode, so its far from choking. (window capture with libreoffice for quick test)
