Hi guys,
So, I have just upgraded my graphics card to a 7970 Matrix platinum, running games at about 70c and about 50% performance draw according to CCC.
This is coupled with an AMD 8350 @4ghz with a H50 cooler powered by a Corsair RM750. I figure my specs are all relatively well matched.
The Problem....
I play games and stream them on Twitch TV on a single PC where the PC encodes the video aswell as playing the game. Before, with a single 6950 i had Zero problems with this set up. Since installing the new card, could it be a coincidence that my CPU cannot keep up as i keep getting huge FPS drops making streaming impossible. I have Core temp (stays under 50c) and the performance tab of task manager open on a second screen to see the CPU usage go from 30% to 80+ in a split second for a couple of seconds causing the PC to slow down and create this performance hit.
Has anybody had this before or does anybody know how i remedy this?
Your help is much appreicated!
