Hello everyone, while streaming (I'll take LoL as an example here) my FPS drop to 30 which results in a very sluggish gameplay, and I feel my PC shouldnt have problems to manage a stable 40 FPS.

I think all relevant setting/system info is in the logfile, so my question would be: IS that normal for a system like this? Am I missing some obvious settings?

hmmmm doesnt seem right to me...maybe try dropping quality to about 7 or so...im running a dual core cpu with geforce gtx 550 ti and i can run LOL while streaming and still get about 60 fps or more, so maybe its the quality doing it. I run streams at about the same settings as you as well, so id think you should run even better than me normally.

Im upgrading to a 6 core this coming week, but still i think you should be running better than that considering ur cpu and such is better than mine and i still get no lag on my system.

I can't tell much from that log other than that your're probably using monitor capture with Aero enabled. You should download the latest OBS installer, the version you have is so old it could tell you Vietnam stories.
