When I normally play TF2, my framerate is between 250 and maxed (300) with all settings topped out except for AA @ 8xCSAA at 1920x1200.
When I run OBS, the framerate seems to never drop below 90-120FPS in intense action according to the cl_showfps console command, but the game feels like it's constantly running at 15 or 20 FPS; it's really jittery. It even feels that way if I turn all of the settings low and lower my comp resolution to 1600x1000.
I don't use vsync and I have it set to disable Aero on launch. My input is 1920x1200 and output to TwitchTV is set to 960x600 @ 30FPS.
My machine is dated, but not quite a slouch:
i7 930 OC'd to 3.22ghz
2GB * 3 (Tri slot) DDR 1333mhz Ram
GTX460 1GB OC'd to 950mhz Core/1900mhz Shader/2000mhz Memory
Sata 2 SSD for OS/OBS
WD Black for Game Installs
Alternatively, if my CPU isn't powerful enough to run both OBS and Source engine games at anywhere near my monitor's native resolution, is there a way to offload OBS's job onto a second comp without using a capture card?
I ask because my second comp is a laptop so although it's strong enough to handle the encoding, it can't take a PCI capture card and the standalone boxes are prohibitively expensive. However, both comps have dual gigabit ethernet ports so I could send it via network cabling assuming gigabit has enough bandwidth for a decent picture at my steaming resolution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
