Hi.
This may be a simple question for some people but i'm new to streaming so bare with me :roll:

I've decided to start streaming League of Legends. I've got everything set up, and im using Monitor Capture to capture everything.
To test the stream out, i decided to play for a couple of minutes and then re watch the video on twitch.tv to see if there was any lag/choppiness, and there wasn't. absolutely smooth and nothing that I can fault. However whilst i was playing in game, it was choppy, not awfully choppy but enough to annoy me. But I don't see how the stream was absolutely perfect but for me, playing the game, it wasn't.
Is there any sort of setting I can do which will help me?

My specs -
i5 3570k 3.8ghz
GTX 650 Ti.
8GB RAM

60mb download speed
4mb upload speed.

This was happening to me before with TF2, I had a Phenom II at the time. Ever since I got my new computer it's been fine for all games I play, which doesn't include LoL.

It might be your GPU, although it seems like it would be more than enough.

As Jim said above, post a log.

Have you tried using v-Snyc in LoL ? i know when i turn this off the game feels choppy and when it's on and capped at 60 fps the game is fine with no problems.

You're using monitor capture in Windows 7 with Aero on, this causes overall low frame rate. If you absolutely need to use monitor capture, turn Aero off by switching to a non-Aero theme.

There is a newer version available - please update. Have you tried using Game Capture? It should give you better performance.
