i can already tell you to downscale a lot... i guess you try to stream 720p30 which isnt really a problem the problem is actually bf4 being a really demanding game. this means your i5 is already going to be close to be maxed out just by playing bf4 and then you add another task which is 720p30 live endcoding thats why you get ingame performance decrease.

i think its gona come down to my i5 2600k being maxed out with bf4. So now it comes down to do i over clock the i5 2600k or get an i7 3770k?

Ivy bridge won't really be enough of an upgrade, you'd want to really look at Haswell for any sort of reasonable performance upgrade.

Stream lag for some viewers.

Ok so the people i know have big high stream ISP have no issues with the broadcast on twitch but some that have shitty slow say they the video keeps buffering for them. How do i make it so people with crap isp can still watch?

Video settings 1920 1080 with resolution downscale of 1.5 1280 720 fps 60

i think that im missing out on a lot of viewers because of there own isp speeds. I cant get partner on twitch untill i get a bigger flowing. If im not mistaken once i do then twitch will scale it auto depending on the viewers speeds and what not.

As noted in your other thread about this, you need to drop the bitrate. Max recommended for non-partnered streams is 2000kbps, and you're running 3500. You also aren't going to be able to really swing 720@60 on that bitrate, or with that CPU on any CPU-heavy game. Drop to 720p@30fps at 2000kbps.
