Hi
This is my first post so hopefully it makes sense.
My son has recently started recording Minecraft in OBS Studio along with a caption of himself in the corner on a webcam. The problem is that we are getting really bad lag.
I have copy and pasted my system details which I think is what you would need to help me?
Please help if possible
Thank you.

GPU is Intel(R) HD Graphics 530. I have just set the preference for this to high performance for Minecraft (but that was after I had already typed the below)
I wouldn't know if OBS is set up as you say. I will look it up in the morning.
I have just closed down EA as a startup app and it actually hasn't started glitching again yet....this is probably just coincidence and I will try again in the morning.
I tried task manager and it said that exploding a large TNT was getting just above 50% CPU usage straight after it exploded but came straight back down again.
OBS will not show in task manager while I am recording.....I guess this is normal though?
Thank you so far

no, just one for all.
I did try and look up which graphics card was plug and play for this setup but it kept saying no Nvidia etc was compatible....
 
I am not so savvy....
I tried the well known part picker but it said none were compatible with my motherboard. Maybe I did it wrong

Morning all
So this is the inside. Any suggestion as to upgrade appreciated. I would be looking at hopefully rtx 40++. I think for future proofing and as I want the ray tracing and triple monitor ability.....
I sound like I know what I'm talking about far more than I do so please keep the technical stuff basic level?
 
Thanks
Would this machine do everything I am after do you know?
Its £1700.....
Having just looked up these stats I think the clock speed is far too low....

Thanks for the replies.
I will have a look in the week for parts and see what I can find. I know minecraft just as the game doesn't need much of a system but we have found once you want to start using higher rendering and want to use the bigger mods then ray tracing and all that stuff comes into play.
I just don't want to go through all this again by the end of the year.
I will also check out ocuk now
