So I have:
i5-2500k @ 4.2ghz
8gig G.skill
GTX 470 SC 1.5gb
Intel G2 160g SSD
W7 Home Premium
I currently have a 2-year license with xsplit so my software is up to date with all the codecs.
Now my question is what hardware I should upgrade in order to stream at 1080p without any FPS lag. I figured my PC specs would be good enough to the point where I wouldn't notice a performance loss but I do when I stream WoW.
I can stream at 720p @ 30fps without any notice of lag. I can also do 1600x900 with barely any loss, but when it comes to 1920x1080 my FPS just dips from 70 to about 30-40, then it gets worse when there's combat.
Stream settings:
<Resolution changes>
30 fps
LA Primary data center
1104kbps video
96kbps audio
1200kbps total.
My internet is a 25mbps/25mbps FiOS connection (which by the way SUCKS for streaming). If I set my bitrate higher I just begin dropping frames due to bandwidth, not PC.
