Hello all
my brother is trying to stream his starcraft 2 games online with no joy and with him not able to afford much he wants to find a way to upgrade his computer for as cheap as possible that would let him do what he wants.
He is playing starcraft 2 on the lowest possible settings with a res of 1920x1080, getting about 80 fps in game, but once he starts to stream or do any local recording his fps go down to like 20 and its just not working, its 2 laggy to play and even turning the stream/local recording down to lower settings still suxs so the computer is no longer doing what he wants.
He is not looking at playing the game at max graphics setting he is happy playing at low settings, just wants to be able to stream without his computer dieing, hell even loading up the program you can feel the computer dieing lol
anyway enough spam of words here is the specs
3.00 gigahertz AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core
4Gig ram not sure which 1
Gforce 9600GT card
Board: ASUSTeK Computer INC. M2N-SLI DELUXE 1.XX
power supply ocz 600w
Hard drives
Hitachi HDS721010CLA SCSI Disk Device
ST310003 40AS SCSI Disk Device
dunno speeds but both 1 TB each
As you can see its a horrible computer he has had for a while, the computer i had was £1.2k but thats not the money he wanted to pay.
Because he is not expecting top graphics just able to stream at low computer settings but good for the viewers i guess its a few 100 but maybe its not an easy fix and only way is for a whole new computer.
His internet seems fine, upload about 1meg download err think it was 6meg
thanks for any tips/advice
