Question / Help Fit to stream?

[Chris B]

I am planning on doing a lot of streaming this summer, mainly for the game The Elder Scrolls Online. I was wondering what you thought about my setup and whether or not I can achieve good performance with this setup:

Speedtest.net stats on internet connection:

Download speed: 94.94 Mbps
Upload speed: 95.59 Mbps

Computer specs:

Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.3GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 8168MB RAM
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770
Display Memory: 4095 MB
Dedicated Memory: 2030 MB
Shared Memory: 2065 MB
Monitor Name: ASUS VG2488 (144Hz)
Refresh rate: 144 Hz

Looks fine to me. Are you actually having trouble with something in particular?

Thanks for the reply. I'm a little worried my processor is not good enough to handle streaming a cpu intensive game like ESO.

Assuming you have a good cooling system in your rig you could try out overclocking it to gain a bit more free room to work with. The 2500K are known to be pretty good in that field.
You will have to test a bit, how much load does ESO put on the processor, but in the end its just a question of tweaking. Do not try to do a 1080p 60fps stream, start with 720p for example, 30fps and see how good that runs.
Uploadspeed wise you seem to be pretty good, so for 720p start around 2000kbit and if you want to increase the quality you can go up to 3500, but be aware, your viewers need the download speed to watch it too, so lower bitrate can often be watched by more people without problems. (Especially twitch recently seems to have problems with higher bitrates)

So start testing, and if you have questions, show us a log of those tests.
