Question / Help Slow Computer, Lag

[Thedarkicon]

Hello All,

I was hoping someone could take a quick peak at my system and help me maximize my setting. I am streaming world of warcraft and it goes smooth then lags for about 10 seconds and starts again. The audio is fine. It;s also a little jumping in broadcasting.

Here is my info:

That PC isn't really suited for OBS.

http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Phenom+9550+Quad-Core

You should look into upgrading rather than wasting time trying to get OBS working on a PC that old.

 

[Thedarkicon]

I have zero problem with other stuff like emulators or hearthstone. Just Warcraft is pushing it. I am looking to find that sweet point of quality and smooth play. Upgrading will come later.

 

[Black Ops]

OBS is very taxing on the CPU and making a comparison with an emulator doesn't prove that the PC is suited for OBS

I doubt you will be able to stream anything until you upgrade

 

[alpinlol]

keep the 480p use 15FPS and super or ultrafast Preset. uncheck CFR and make sure to only use a single Capture Method in your Scene which is Game Capture for WoW

 

[Thedarkicon]

Thank you, I will try the setting out later. Atm I am running at 360 and other then it not being good quality I think I found the sweet spot.

If I was going to upgrade my cpu what would you recommend that's good but cost effective. My budget at the moment is very low.

 

[Black Ops]

You would need to replace the whole motherboard so you can use a newer CPU so it will cost abit

 

[Thedarkicon]

thank you for the feedback. I know it's going to cost a bit but I am good at budget shopping.

 

[alpinlol]

Theres no real Budget shopping ... You pretty much cheap completely out and get another bad CPU like a 8320/8350 or you get something like an current gen i5 6500 which is still not the best for streaming but gets the chop properly done costs about 200$ + a cheap 50$ h110 chipset Mainboard.

What would you recommend for the max bitrate. my upload speed is roughly 2-10mbps. I have cable so it varies a lot.

Cable shouldnt really vary alot when it comes to upload and with a range of 2-10 mbps there no real suggestion to be honest. It has to be somewhat stable, else you will be dropping Frames all over the place.
