Here's a retarded question, if my native res is 1080p, but I have a weak cpu [ e8400 duo core @3.9ghz ] is it worth streaming at a lower res than my native? Is this gonna fuck things up? Thanks.
I could barely stream a watchable stream in sc2 via 640x480 but since I hear obs is much better on my system I might try again. I've upgraded my graphics card since then but same cpu. Basically everything but my cpu is great for streaming. I get 5mb up so that's no problem.
Thanks again for the guide!
Edit: saw the aspect ratio chart, guess ill try those 16;9's

Yes, it's worth it to stream at a lower resolution than your native resolution. In the resolution insert your screen resolution, and then select a resolution from the "Downscale" dropdown until you find one that doesn't lag for you.
I do this with my native 1080p screen to stream in 720p@60fps
