I recently got a new CPU, and im wondering why i cant stream with it, since i thought it should be able to.

CPU: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Bulldozer/AMD-FX-Series%20FX-8350.html
GPU: http://www.nvidia.com/gtx-700-graphics-cards/gtx-760/
Mobo: 970A-G43 PLUS (msi)
Win: 8.1

Ive seen people with much worse cpus stream the games i want to quite fine but mine seems to giving me a bit of a struggle.
Im using OBS and im streaming at 30FPS 3000Bitrate, preset ultrafast, x264 on 1280x720. I tried other presets and settings and there are basically no changes except framerate.
To eliminate any other factors such as lag from webcam-recording or overlays i ran with only the game-capture.

On the game H1Z1 i get 80FPS on highest settings but iput it on lowest settings for the stream to e able to run it. I get 40FPS ingame and stutters every now and then. OBS tells me that its using 5-15% of the CPU when streaming. I guess this is fine since im rarely getting skipped frames. If you guys tell me that the CPU just isnt good enough to run the game and the stream and also get a good performance with my rig ill accept it, but i also wanted to stream another game and had some odd issues.

When playing the game "osu", which is a really not graphically or memory demanding game it runs on barely 60FPS when streaming. When the streams off i get 1000+FPS, since as i said its really not resource demanding. Aswell as that i get very SMALL stutters every 30secs or so, making it basically unplayable. This game isnt an fp-shooter or anything you probably know, you click circles to the beat on a 2d surface, thats it. It gets extremely fast though, and a small lag can really ruin things very easily. When im Streaming osu OBS pretty much tells me the same as for H1Z1, but programs like HWMonitor tell me that any core is max used 40% every now and then, otherwise lower. This is weird and the reason i also POSTED the H1Z1 stuff above, because when im streaming H1Z1 max core usage is around 70%. This leads me to the conclusion that theres something wrong with the CPU.

The chips 8 cores are unlocked by default, so theres nothing to do there, and HWMonitor tells me that CPU temperatures when idle are ~40 (almost same for osu open), ~50 with H1Z1, and ~60-70 when streaming, so it cant really be the temperatures fault either. I tried overclocking the cpu to 4.3 with OC GENIE, but it gave me stability issues and the 10 mins i was able to stream didnt feel much different, so i went back.

I really hope SOMEBODY can help me with this.


How fast is your internet connection? You might be looking at a bandwidth bottleneck in which it can only send so much through a straw and so the frame rates of the stream are low. Test internet speed / bandwidth at www.speedtest.netMy Stream itself is fine, as i said no dropped frames and it runs smoothly at 30fps, its just the lag i get myself. I get around 4 up btw.
