Hello!

Since I'm nearly done with school and have a lot of free time, I decided to start streaming.
I'd like to stream wow on 720p 30 fps. <- OBS settings.
I'm playing myself on 1080p, with ~60fps. I'd like to keep around 50-60 fps in 25m raid environments.
Right now, in major cities with stream on I get around 30-40 fps. in 25m raids it goes down to about 20-30. Even lower on heavy add phases etc.

I can stream high/ultra bf4 without any problems. no overheating or anything.

My specs:
Intel i5 3570k Ivy OC 4.4 GHz.
2x Nvidia gtx 660ti's.
16GB Corsair Vengeance.
ASRock Z77 Extreme3 motherboard.
Dark Rock Advanced cpu cooler
630W Bequiet PCU
3x Benq XL2420T 24" Monitors

150/20 mbit down/upload

Is it worth getting a second pc with a capture card? if yes, please explain how to connect etc. Have no expertise with that kind of thing.
If it is a different cpu or whatever, please leave a comment :)

Thanks for reading,

Seiyta

1080p 60fps isn't really advised because of flash. Flash can't really decode 1080p 60fps for most viewers, so trying to stream with it is somewhat pointless. I'd probably just recommend 1080p 30fps or 720p 60fps with lanczos downscale filter.

What is this Flash you are talking about? :)
Also something weird happened today. I can stream BF4 on ultra settings and 30 fps 720p in OBS without trouble.
Today however, Battlefield started lagging really bad, like ingame 10-20fps. Same server, same map.

Click to expand...

What he means by "flash" is the video player on most streaming sites is a flash based video player.

I am not a WOW player so I'm not exactly sure what advice to give you as I have no clue what a 25m raid mean... although I'm guessing you mean 25 man but I could be wrong.
