Stream help.

[Littlewayne]

Hello, I am currently wanting to stream Oldschool. I have heard you do not need a nice graphics card, but RAM or memory due to it being a browser based game. 

 

Currently, whenever I am not streaming and simply playing the game my CPU Usage is settled at 10-20% with no random spikes. But as soon as I hit "Preview Stream" my cpu will shoot straight up to 95-100% and not go down.

Here are my settings / system info.

 

General: http://prntscr.com/94w7j4

Encoding: http://prntscr.com/94w7qo

Broadcast Settings:

Video: http://prntscr.com/94w7xs

Audio:http://prntscr.com/94w81d

Advanced: http://prntscr.com/94w859

 

SYSTEM Info:

I do not have a graphics card & simply using the motherboard's support.

I have 16gb of memory but only use 

3.24gb when my cpu is maxed at 100%

 

currently while I am on the forum and not streaming: http://prntscr.com/94w91f

While Previewing stream: http://prntscr.com/94w9x6

 

 

Is there a quick fix for this? 

Also, if there is something I could buy to have plenty of spare cpu usage while streaming such as a new graphics card or Intel core processor, PLEASE let me know.

Try turning down your bitrate

I think thats xsplit right? Use OBS and that might fix the problem. Check your internet speed @ http://www.speedtest.net/ and give your results. It is reccomended to stream at the speed of under half or half of your upload speed.

Theres no reason to stream at that res for oldschool. Just do 720p 1k birate 

 

highest bitrates are only good if you're partnered 

 

also stream game source not screen region

Upload speed: 5.8MBs.  5.8MBs to kbps = 5,800 so I put it at 2800. It seems to use less cpu if I do 1-2k though.

I brought the "Resolution Downscale" to 1280x720 and it's averaging 80-97% cpu

 

I lowered bitrate to 1k, no difference in cpu usage.

 

I cannot stream game source if I use OSBuddy.
