Hey everyone! I'm a somewhat new streamer and am wondering what I should set a few settings to. I don't know exactly what my computer can handle while streaming 900p@60fps. I have 40 Mbps upload so I will be able to stream it no problem, but what should I set my CPU Usage Preset and profile to? I am both gaming and streaming from the same PC. I have a Ryzen 1700, Asus 1080ti, 16GB of RAM. Right now while streaming 900p@60fps I am using the "veryfast" CPU Preset and am happy/comfortable with the temps and drop in performance while gaming. My CPU usage in Task Manager is around 45%-60%. Are there other settings I can do to get the same performance while lowering my CPU Preset to something like fast or medium? I am planning on eventually getting a second PC to use as a stream "slave" if I ever get big enough, but for now what are my options? Or should I just leave everything as is?
