FPS drop while streaming.

[Downside 15]

Hopefully some fellow streamers could help me with some settings I might be missing?

I have all my settings on Very High and I get 35-50 FPS in Cherno. I see no FPS difference between Very High, High and Normal settings. But when I stream I get 10-15 FPS around any towns small or big.

• Processor: Core™ i7-2600K Processor, 4GHz w/ 8MB Cache
  
• Motherboard: GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3
  
• Memory: Vengeance LP 16GB DDR3 1600MHz
  
• Harddrive: Western Digital Caviar Black WD5001AALS 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
  
• Videocard: GTX 570 1.2 GB DDR5
  

Are my specs. When I stream my useage only goes to 36%

you should have more fps in cherno with that setup

What do you use to livestream?

If its xsplit, what resolution are you streaming in?

Programs in the background?

[Downside 15]

xsplit 1280x720 for 720p at 30fps

While I stream I have dxtory to capture for the stream, Ventrilo and my twitch.tv page for chat. But while I'm streaming my Usage is around 35% and memory is around 25%. I Stream in full screen, I tried window mode and didn't see a difference sadly.

Have you tried turning off the capturing? iirc that takes a LOT of power

Turns out it was just a bad server I was on. I stream with 10 fps less than I would without streaming on a good stable server.

I don't stream, but I used this guide with the x264 codecs and there is barely a fps drop. Just make sure to use the exact settings because he wasn't joking, anything else will give a big hit.
