Question / Help Intel 3570K vs. 3770K

[Bob11]

Hi,

My girlfriend is streaming on twitch.

Her stream is actually running really well at 720p, 30 FPS and 3500 bitrate,
but in some games (CS:GO) she is dropping frames.
In WoW and HotS she have never dropped frames...
In the start she didnt drop frames in CS:GO either...

The system says its running on ~100% CPU in CS:GO


Its too expensive to buy a new PC atm, so was thinking if a CPU upgrade would do the trick.

She got an Intel i-5 3570K CPU atm.
Would there be a big difference if she had the i-7 3770K insted??

It probably wouldn't be enough an improvement to justify the cost. She should probably limit her frame rate in CS:GO (either with vsync or the fps_max cvar), and try checking the "Limit capture frame rate" option in the game capture source she uses. If the problem continues, post a log file.
