Question / Help FPS Lag

[lxWicKeDxl]

So, I have tried everything I could possibly think for the past few months to get my stream to run smoothly while playing. I can not for the life of me, stay above 60 FPS in game while I have my stream running. 720p/60 or 1080p/25-60. I will not go under 720 as it is not up to the standards I want for my stream.

I feel like I am being bottle necked some where and I can not figure it out.

One other thing I noticed looking at the log, my CPU is suppose to be overclocked (according to CPUZ). I'm assuming this is just taking the stock information, not the overclock?

I feel as if my computer should be able to run 720p/60fps while maintaining a 60 FPS in game. I understand I will have an FPS drop in game while streaming. It is expected. I have any where from 40-55 FPS while playing BF3 while streaming. I have any where from 100-200 FPS while not streaming. I don't feel as if my system should be taking that much of a hit.

Any help would be appreciated, whether is a stupid mistake or something more in depth. I don't like hearing I can not do something, so I'll do whatever I can to fix it.

You are using monitor capture. While monitor capture on windows 7 is better with aero disabled (which you have), it still is a lot worse than game capture or window (with aero enabled). So I suggest, if you need the monitor capture, move it to another scene, and use game capture for BF3.
Unchecking it is enough, but it's best to be on the safe side, in case you forget to uncheck it sometimes, just remove it from the scene you use for streaming the game.

Your hardware should be well up to streaming at 1080p30, perhaps even 60. But do mind the viewers, a lot of viewers have trouble watching 1080p, they don't all have the awesome hardware you do, 720p60 might generally provide a better experience on the viewers' end.

Anyway, try this, and see if it helps enough.

Ah, you know that could be it now that you say that. I use game capture for Battlefield, but I don't disable my monitor capture. I'll give that a shot and see if there is a difference.
