I used to be able to stream a few games like WoW and LoL decently, but I would still lose about 50% of my fps whenever I started up. I recently tried streaming ARMA 2 and Dota 2, and i've had to quit because of the amount of frames i'm losing.
This is the log from last night's short attempt at streaming Dota 2 -
These are my PC specs - http://valid.canardpc.com/5rr2xp
It seems with every game now I go from 40-100 fps, right down to 10-20. I've tried almost everything I can think of, it worked fine on 4 gbs of ram, I now have 12 and it's worse than before.
