Is my pc suitable for STREAMING?

[MeteorMash101]

Hey guys, I was wondering if my current pc build is suitable for twitch streaming (games like Overwatch) because when I try I get lagged in game often, and my cpu temps shoot up pretty higher than normal.

When I am not streaming, I can play with no lag, in ultra mode with no problemo. This all changes when I click the start streaming on OBS...

I am planning on comparing my pc parts to other twitch streamers and such, please let me know thanks!

You can stream some high demanding games, you actually have a good setup.
Try optimizing your system doing performance-only and setup your stream with low video settings and bitrate.

How are some ways i can go about in optimizing performance? Shud i overclock?

Optimizing means lowering the graphical quality of the stream.

Overclocking will likely only make a very minor difference. You need cores, not a 5% performance boost on top of the already existing ones.

You can't go wrong with Ryzen. A 1 year old 1800x is very capable for streaming and costs a less than that quad core.

Your PC isn't the only possible bottleneck. Your internet connection is as well.
How much upload do you have?

I never get lagged in game, because I use ethernet...think that shouldn’t be a problem then.

I’m going to look into these solutions but getting a whole another pc seems a bit out of my budget. Is just getting a single capture card okay? Im also gonna look into shadowplay, etc

It's not about lag.

My Internet connection is 100/10 mbps and 6000 kbps video is 6 mbps. Even if my CPU was capable I can't stream the 12 mbps medium video Gamers nexus used as an example because my upload is too weak as is. I could easily upgrade that though.

Right now a 16 core Thread ripper cost less than twice the price of an 8 core Ryzen. Close to the price of a 6-8 core Intel HEDT CPU I guess. There lots of mbps medium would be irrelevant really.

These are my settings...on OBS..shud be pretty standard but just for info

By this we mean optimize how the stream is processed/encoded/uploaded via OBS Studio.

There isn't really anything else to do with the PC itself when CPU + RAM + GPU + Fast Storage is all in check and you have good ISP Upload Speeds

Disable "recording" as this is recording separate video files to your PC local drive and will bog down everything even more. Focus on the "streaming" settings.

If your Upload Speed is rather low, like say 5Mbps, ensure Streaming BitRate Size is lower than this, so your upload has some breathing room; like say not using a bitrate above 4096 (4MB) when your ISP Upload is 5Mbps. BitRate helps to ensure a clearer video overall. If you are streaming from a single PC, stick to 720p/60 FPS max; it will be better visually then 1080p/30 FPS

Make sure you are using Hardware (NV) Encoding; as this will mean your NVIDIA GPU handles video encoding, not software, which means CPU does all the work. Average consumer 2/4/6 Core CPU is slow to encode compared to a decent GPU.
