Hey guys. I am a little stumped at this point. A friend of mine plays Counter Strike, Diablo, and Battlefield 4 and likes to stream all of them. Not at once of course. The problem is, he gets major FPS drops when streaming Battlefield. I realize that the game is pretty demanding and streaming it can be a real pain but is there anything he can do?
Listed below are his tech specs with all programs running in the background:
Hardware
Windows 7 x64
Intel Core i7 4790K
16GB RAM @1600
MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING Motherboard
Nvidia Geforce GTX 780
1TB Western Digital HDD
Software
OBS (Open Broadcaster Software)
Software for Logitech Headphones
Deepbot for streaming
Sub Alert for streaming
Chrome for chat/music
He is running two monitors, one at 1920x1080 and the other at 1600x900. If I am not mistaken he is of course playing on the 1920x1080.
Here is what he pulls when playing various games
Frame Rates
Counter Strike when not streaming: 350-450
Counter Strike when streaming at 45fps and 720p on OBS 250-300
Counter Strike when CPU maxes out for whatever reason, drops to 70-120
Battlefield 4 when not streaming he says is damn near perfect
Battlefield 4 when streaming is drops to something like 50-100
Is there anything he could do? Would an SSD help this as it would be able to read the data at a much faster rate, or no? CPU temps are only getting to around 70c tops. I am sure I forgot some info in here so if you have questions feel free to ask and I will try to answer.
