problems streaming

hey all, thanks for your time if your reading this.

recently i built a new pc for gaming/college use and i decided since i just upgraded my internet i would try to stream, however... when i run xplit and start streaming i notice my FPS in-game goes down to about 45 and the game gets really choppy, at first i thought it was because my PC couldn't handle the game on max graphics, and stream at the same time, but when i turn it to low the FPS doesn't even go up.. still at 45. open up fraps and on the exact same game i get a solid 60 max settings everything on ultra. here is my internet results if anyone is interested or has a solution, thanks in advance.

Seems like xplit is limiting your fps to 45 to match your streaming output? I don' have any experience it with myself so hopefully someone else can point you in the right direction.

I have used OBS without any issues though.

thanks for the reply, downloading OBS now to try that, will report back soon'

seems to do the same on OBS, haven't set it to cap at 45 in the options

HazzaBean · 10 Dec 2013 at 12:52

think i found the problem.... Vsync was capping me at 45, i turned it off and it went well above 200

Edit ~ seems to be jittering a bit though, any ideas why?

OBS is a great program. Have you tried (on obs) just recording locally, instead of streaming and see if you get a similar issue?

so that got fixed, apparently it didn't like aero or screen capture, so using window instead now, trying that testmy.net site too. thanks for the help guys

well it seems reliable, here you go http://testmy.net/db/RVYvNEi

so what settings do you recommend i stream at? this is the best internet i can get around here, so cant go much faster im afraid

Remember, it's not just about your net speed, it's also about what viewers may handle too.

2k - 3000kbps CBR seems to be the most used/recommended.

You really could be doing with streaming, having someone watch and providing feedback etc.

Use 'Game Capture'. You will need to load the game up first, minimise it and then add the game.
