Hey all. I just wanted to know if anyone can give me in inkling of a realistic expectation with my setup. I'm getting performance that is below what I want, but I'm wondering if my expectations for my system are just way too high.
My computer specs are as such:
CPU - AMD Phenom II 940 black (OC @ 3.3GHz)
GPU - nVidia GeForce GTX 460 1GB DDR5
RAM - 8GB Corsair DDR2 (833MHz)
600GB Western Digital HDD
80GB Intel SSD
Internet - 23Mbps down/ 3Mbps up.
I can't really remember all my settings I have set for OBS, except that my resolution is 1920x1080 downscaled to 1280x720x30. The encoding preset is set to superfast.
Here is an example of a stream I did with this setup: http://www.twitch.tv/scxerouz/b/337385013 . It goes fine, but toward the end I seem to be dropping frames, as it freezes up when more stuff gets on screen. Audio itself never seems to stutter. My ingame settings for Starcraft are all on low. I get an FPS of around 60 (with VSync enabled), until toward the end, when it drops down around 25-30, then the video in the VOD starts stuttering. It should be noted the stuttering is not present in game, just in the video.
Is there a combination of settings I can try that may get better performance, or am I expecting too much out of my older system?
