i5-4690k overclocked to 4.8 Ghz but still choppy while streaming. i7???

[partyboy]

So when I live stream I get choppy frames, it's not really bad but definately noticable and isn't good for shooters, I can't think of anything else what it would be besides the cpu. But the thing is my cpu is already overclocked to 4.8 Ghz!!! a standard i7 is at like 4.0 and people stream fine with that... My i5 standard is 3.5 and I've overclocked it way beyond 4.0 so don't understand why it's still like this. Unless do i5's have something else missing that an i7 has? Please help anyone that knows about this stuff.

I need to figure out if I need an i7 for what ever reason or if it's something else hardware related in my computer. (really can't see it being anything besides the cpu though)


Extra probably useless info

I was using x264 encoding and switched over to quick sync and that helps a bit but still not good enough. Also for what ever reason minimizing OBS makes it less choppy.. but still not good enough.

What is your gpu? How much ram do you have?

i7 is much better for streaming then i5. Just for pure gaming it wont make much difference but with streaming it will. Sell your i5 and get i7-4790K.

how are the temps?
if its hitting 90-100c it could be throttling causing studdering

what gpu?

Why is that? because I have way more Ghz so that shoudln't be the problem, what else is there in an i7 that i5 doesn't have? I dont know a lot about cpu's

gtx 970 and pretty sure temps are pretty low considering my overclock so don't think that's it

not all i7 and/or high ghz like ur 4.8 will not help u streaming in good quallity!
first i got a i5-2500k@4.2 and more then very fast/fast preset was not possible > bad quallity
now i have a i7-6700k@4.6 and more medium preset was not possible > ok quallity with min 3500 kbits
but if u want realy want to stream with slow preset and very good quallity u need something like i7-5960x

i7 has hyper-threading, this enables them to run more tasks at the same time. Not that useful for gaming but useful for streaming, video editing etc.

which one ? i5 4 cores 4 threads > i7-6700 4/8 > i7-6850K 6/12 > i7-5960x 8/16 > i7-6950X 10/20

i5-4690k does not have hyperthreading.

i7's are known to run smoother than i5's.

Even overclocked, an i5-4690k will be slower than a i7-4790K at stock speed.

Ehh guess that's why then thanks for the help

Went from i5 4690k to i7 5820k and I got a vast improvement in frames and quality of my streams specially with gta 5 and rainbow 6.

The i7 has twice as many threads.

Clock speed is how fast it can do a task
Thread count is how many things it can do at once

The i7 can do more things at one time, which is needed for streaming, as you need to run the game as well as the software for streaming.
