Question / Help Streaming with mid level laptop

[Feeb]

Hey guys. What settings should be lowered if I am streaming through a laptop with a 2.3GHz i5 (4th Gen)? I have been streaming CoD from an Xbox 360 with an Elgato. I used the recomended settings after answering the questions in the estimator, but my FPS have been dropping and I get the skipping frames error quite a bit. I get 50 down and 30 up so my internet should not be a problem, I just don't know what settings I should lower and which I can leave to improve the stream, if there is anything that can be done. I don't have a log to post because I am at work. I am streaming in 720p with a bit rate of 2500 at the moment. I have no hangups about lowering any of the settings, but I would just like to know if I can keep the bit rate high and lower the resolution, vice versa, or lower both. I have it set at 30FPS with the resolution 1920 x 1080 scaled down to 1260 x 720.

Thanks

Can you post your log? viewtopic.php?f=6&t=97

I won't be able to until tonight. I was hoping this was something that could be answered without a log, but if not I will post it when I get home later tonight.

Here is the latest log. Any advice would be appreciated.

You should probably consider switching to the "quicksync" encoder if you're currently experiencing high cpu usage (and that seems to be the case).

Thanks. That helped a ton I didn't have any lag at all. Appreciate it
