Hello! Thanks for looking at the thread.
My computer:
CPU: Intel i7 4970k
GPU: Dual AMD Radeon 7990's set up in Crossfire
RAM: 16GB G.Skill 1866Mhz Gaming Ram
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
Internet Connection: 60Mb/s down, 12Mb/s up
My problem (maybe):
I love my computer. It screams. I want to lifestream video games. My computer does an OK job with this, but with World of Warcraft I'm having issues. I've tried many different settings, and they all seem to yield little result. What I'm worried about is if my 2nd graphics card is being used or not. So I have a few questions:
1) If I plug in Monitor 1 (World of Warcraft) into GPU 1 and Monitor 2 (OBS, Spotify, Google Chrome, etc.) will I receive better performance?
2) If I won't, what can I be doing with my settings to make it look better? It looks great in low-motion scenes and games like Hearthstone, but when motion happens, it gets very pixelated.
I know the next question I will get is: "What settings are you streaming at?"
I've found it looks "best" when I'm at 6000kb/s, 1080p, use CBR, but it's still pretty pixelated. I'm at work, so I can't remember all of the settings. I feel like I have a powerful enough computer and a good enough internet connection, so I feel like it is a settings issue.
Additional notes: I do have Crossfire enabled via the AMD Catalyst Control Center, and it appears to be working. Any help and insight would be incredibly helpful! Thank you so much!
