Hello guys, I'm a new streamer and I'm looking for ways I can improve my performance while streaming. I have no issues with games frames or audio and my stream at the settings I have now isn't too bad but i occasionally will get choppy and lag a tad bit. Hopefully with the information i provide you can help me optimize the settings to work best for me.

You can unfortunately pretty much only do the usual:
  • Lower resolution or even the fps slightly (although 30 should be good)
  • Lower the compression (not really recommandable for streaming)
  • Lower game settings
  • Buy more powerful hardware
In general your settings are fine for your PC but heavy games can always be a problem. You could also use nvenc but it would probably have a negative effect on the quality of your stream.
 
I mean I think my rigg is pretty powerful for streaming..

I am going to be doing a CPU upgrade soon to a i7 extreme 6-core. But i dont need to upgrade my video cards or RAM I dont think...
