Live Stream - GRID:AutoSport

[SkidMarkKing]

Hello.

I can run GRID: Autosport fine on high settings when im not streaming. However when I stream it seems to lag a lot and buffer even though I get 15-20mbps. My bitrate is set to 2000 is obs which should be high enough.

The only other thing could be my pc spec

AMD Phenom II x 4 965 @ 3.8GHz (overclocked today from 3.4GHz).
8GB RAM
GTX460

I was pretty sure video cards didn't effect streaming but I did see on youtube someone said there stream used to be bad until they upgraded there video card?

Any advice, what I need to do to sort it as its definitely not the upload speed?

Thanks

You are probably limited by your CPU, try taking a look at your CPU usage during streaming and see if it is maxed out. Streaming is pretty intense on CPU generally.

Yeah it's in the 90% area :/
