Need help with computer settings for streaming and gaming

[TraineeV2]

Hello Everyone,

I am new to the forum and look forward to meeting and getting to know the community.

I was curios what everyone would suggest for setting on my computer.

PC Specs:

Graphics Card - EVGA GeForce GTX 760 FTW 4GB

Power Supply - Corsair CX750

CPU - Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge Quad-Core 3.5GHz

RAM - Corsair Vengeance 16GB

HDD -Corsair Force Series GS Red 480GB

Mobo - ASRock Z77 Extreme4

My issue is that when I try to stream any games to twitch.tv I get a massive lag on the game side. I am not sure what is causing this lag, but I would think that my computer should be able to handle games and streaming with no issues.

I run Windows 7 and use OBS for the streaming program. I did not configure anything on the operating system and I am not sure if I should or what I should. Does anyone have suggestions?

If you need more information please let me know!

Thanks,
Mark

Still having the same issue with most any games. Once game I run is Strife, once I load up and start the video capture, the game itself gets very choppy.

You should try posting this in the video cards section. Cheers

That could depend on the settings you have the stream at

One thing that made my stream run INSANELY better is to switch from x264 encoding to NVENC. Go into the settings, Encoding, and switch it. See how it is. What are your other OBS settings at? Max bitrate? Downscale?
