awesome! Does this only affect xsplits internal capturing methods or will this also improve performance when you use dxtory or scfh?

Why would you have a 2500k at stock speed? To overclock you need to change literally one value in the BIOS.


Stock cooler.. no money for a new one yet

I have a decent machine but nothing top of the market. Changing this file and nothing else results in a quality loss for me when jumping around. For example if I were to click another part on the mini-map I'll experience a split second of fuzzyness in the video that does not exist otherwise.

CPU: Phenom II X4 945

Sidenote: No FPS drops.

Stock cooler is still adequate at getting the 2500k to a decent overclock without risking overheating. You could overclock to 4.0 and you would be perfectly fine.

Staying on topic though, I will definitely try this fix and see if helps improve my stream. Thanks!

If I don't have an i(x) processor will this still improve my stream quality?

My processor is (copy pasted): Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8300 @ 2.50GHz 2.50 GHz

As someone that plays and streams, this is actually owning my in game fps. I get more fps just spectating and not hitting any keys. But as soon as I start to apm spam, my fps drops to like 2-3

Any system with more than 2 CPUs will benefit. Yours has 4, so it's likely that you get better performance.

It's still always a good idea to test yourself, as the amount of hardware configurations for PCs makes definitive answers very hard.

I think my performance is worse now. There's no performance boost at least.

AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE (not overclocked)
4 Gig RAM
Radeon HD 5870
1MB/s Upload (set to 650 kB/s in xsplit)

There's not much i could've done wrong so why won't this thing work for me?

/edit

Infact the game gets really laggy now when there are many units on the field.

It is possible that the SC2 processes and the xsplit processes fight for the same cores. It is likely that other processes running on your system are blocking the cores. Try to set the affinity for the SC2 and the xsplit process each to different cores and check if it improves.

Also, check if you have unneccessary programs running that slow down your system.

Also: Do you record the videos? It might be that the encoding is now too fast and your HDD becomes a new bottleneck that is slowing the whole system.

Only thing i have running besides xsplit and SC2 is Xchat (IRC) with almost no CPU usage, Firefox and Winamp.

I didn't have those lags when i used the old .dll (including Firefox + Winamp running) so i dont know why the new .dll now slows down my system, but i'll try to set the affinity for SC2 on Core 1 + 2 and Xsplit on Core 3 + 4.

I dont record.

Didnt change anything.

extract file to your desktop, then copy and paste the file into the Xsplit folder, then delete the archive file.

It's "lagging" because the newer version of the encoder uses more of your CPU power, leaving everything else with less.

Using a newer version of x264 should significantly improve performance even on the same number of cores. It's under regular development and there have been quite a few improvements, including mbtree (which is amazing)!

if u go to 2part u see sc2 i can run everything on high just got tired of watching high graphics
dunno if this "thing" is worth the time..

Well it's just less stressful on a single CPU core. It takes about thirty seconds and has no downside.
