You should include more information, like what resolution you're streaming in (but we'll assume 1080p), what FPS you're streaming in, your bitrate, etc. You should be able to stream just fine with an i7 though.

I recommend to just lower your stream quality a bit and see if there's any difference in performance.

It'd be nice if someone posted a screenshot of their settings. I think slin has similar specs.

Welcome to streaming. Your frames are going to go to shit unless you have a great rig, and your stream will look like shit unless you have a decent, consistent upload speed. Just keep tweaking and testing, guess and check style. Also, "Twitch having problems" won't affect your personal FPS, just the look of your stream on the site.

He also worded the topic terrible, a lost frame usually refers to a lost packet. Low FPS is a totally different issue and due to the workload of processing sending the stream. But still, i7's a pretty capable of streaming with high quality, although maybe his clock rate is too low. It also would depend on his in game settings also.

You could try to ask Lange about how to set up your stream... Most likely you will have to overclock.

Hooky it's a personal problem that he has to fix because everyone has a slightly different rig and setup.

@OP you need to do the usual to get more power out of your rig, as its not an Internet issue. Close background programs, overclock, use an FPS config, run in full screen with game capture, etc. If you're still having issues you'll have to turn down settings.

When I first started streaming in 720p 60fps I was using windowed mode and xsplit. It hurt my FPS, but I just dealt with it cause I wanted the stream to look good. You're just going to have to find a balance between quality and performance.

he told me he got it.

I was suggesting asking Lange as he has a similar CPU.

There were a lot of people getting redirect errors yesterday, but it's unrelated to this.

That was intentional and part of a project we were doing.
