Been doing a fair amount of troubleshooting myself the past couple of days and I am running out of options/ideas to try and address the issue. Hopefully one of you folks has an idea.
system:
fx-4300 quad core (I know. not the greatest.)
8gb ram
GT 610 GPU
Game: Diablo 3 (low settings)
Bandwidth: 5 upload.
Vod from twitch looks flawless and everyone is saying the stream looks fine. But it shows dropped frames in the status bar at the bottom of the program. Im just beginning to think its a hardware issue.
