Hello OBS Community , i need some help with some stream configurations.

(I am streaming MOBA games and sometime some MMORPG)

PC Config:

Proccesor : Intel Core i3-2100 @ 3.10 GHz
Ram : 8192 MB
Video : GeForce GT 430

Internet : http://www.speedtest.net/result/3646838492.png
(Its from Bucharest to Prague)


If you can help me i will be greatful :)

well since you try to stream hearthstone i dont see a problem with your current settings tbh ... but i dont really understand what your meaning of "blocking" is

the real problem i can see is your connection actually it seems like its really falling behind

try using another ingest server like frankfurt or amsterdam

but your hardware just for streaming hearthstone should be enough for everything else your hyperthreaded dual core i3 will start maxing out but you might try using quicksync

then again a real problem will be your gpu since its running gddr3 memory which is too slow to transmit everything above 540p30 but then again you could get away since you are only trying to stream hearthstone at least in this log

if you are planning on streaming ie world of warcraft/dota/league or whatever game which has a bit of movement you are forced to downscale to at least 540p if not even 480p or lower since your gpu is really bad and your cpu cant handle that much

well upgrading only the gpu solves one issue but if you actually want to stream you had to get another cpu ... since you are running a sandy bridge cpu you going to have problems to find something like an i7 2600k or 2700k since they are out of their lifespan so you'd have to find a cheap used one which isnt already completly burned out by ocing or whatnot

means you had to upgrade cpu/mb/gpu

imo upgrading right now is the best since haswell cpu's are dropping prices due to the incoming new relases at the end of the year.

i'd suggest at least getting an i5 4670 (or the refresh 4690) or maybe even an i7 4770 (or refresh 4790) the k versions are an option if you plan to oc the cpu. or you might go with an intel xeon e3 1230v3 thats basically an i7 4770 with a bit less clockspeed and also no option to really oc it, in my opinion the best streaming cpu if you are on a budget

gpu wise i would probably go with either a gtx 750ti or gtx 760 depending on how much you want to spent... the gtx760 gets the job done really good when it comes to 1080p gaming

for the mainboard well thats choice if you want asus gigabyte or whatever i usually tend to go with asus lately due to reviews of all the hardware testing sites and if you are not planning to oc you can find an decent mb for around 80 bucks probably
