i recently bought an elgato hd60 and want to start streaming. i looked up and tried several different settings for lower end pcs, but it always ends up being unwatchable and laggy and the delay between webcam and gameplay gradually increases.
the cpu usage with obs is usually around 70%.
these are my specs: i7-6500U 2.50ghz
8GB RAM
Geforce 940m
what settings can i stream on? (I am streaming Xbox One gameplay)
heres my log:
