Hi guys.. I am trying to stream a First Person Shooter game like Fallout 3 at 720p @ 30 fps..

and after trying out my different settings, I still can't stream properly.. OBS is reporting low fps like 9 - 15fps? My target is 30fps but i just couldn't make it work.. I am trying to stream at 720p @ 30 fps..

the only way to make it have more fps.. is by streaming at 480p @ 30 fps.. but that resolution is too small :( I hope you guys can help..

here's my PC spec:
Intel i5 750 @ 2.67Ghz
4GB Memory
nVidia GTS 250 1GB RAM

here's my upload speed info:

theres not much to do than downscale mate :/ weak cpu and gpu for streaming while playing but it should do okay for gaming only

is that the only option? no more tweaks can be done? I can play without problems even when streaming.. the only issue is lousy stream (the stream has low fps)

because the whole 2xx series of nvidia works kinda bad with keeping even 30 fps on obs you proably could also fix the problem by upgrading your gpu to be able to stream a constant 720@30

Your GPU is the big bottleneck here. The GTX 2XX series of GPUs are known for this. The best thing you can do to improve your stream is get a better GPU.
