I've been streaming off and on for a fair while using monitor capture with aero off. I decided to try out the Log Analyzer posted here to see if I could make any improvements to my stream quality. When I first ran it I had several "issues". Around 6 or 7 of them. Namely enabling aero and using game capture. I turned aero back on and setup game capture. After starting my stream my FPS (around 150) was appearing to be stable but during movement I got a lot of jittering while FPS (still 150 during jitter) was still "stable".
I do have fairly low upload (2mb according to my ISP, I get around 1.7mb from a 50mb upload test on testmy.net). My in-game ping is fairly stable streaming at 1445 bitrate and the quality is some what passable.
For hardware I'm running an FX-8350 and XFX-7850.
And here's a log file:
