Seems right to me.

For people asking about ingame lag/sluggish unit control and so on, take a look in this thread:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=246791

Setting affinities may help some, but I don't recommend it. Neither does R1CH in his streaming guide:

Some guides recommend setting affinity so your streaming program and SC2 run on separate CPU cores. I don't really recommend this as it just limits performance, if you want to ensure your SC2 doesn't lag at the expense of your stream, simply set SC2.exe to High Priority in task manager.

Oh, and there's nothing wrong with streaming a 480p stream with a stable 1Mbit/s upload speed. It works fine - stop saying otherwise!

So, i've figured out that the whole "choppy/laggy" feel happens even when xsplit is open and NOT streaming. if i have both xsplit and sc2 on at the same time, the laggy/choppy feeling kicks in. Whether or not im streaming makes no difference at all. I dont think it used to be like this before... can anyone help me figure out how to fix this?

EDIT: just to clear it up a bit, when i dont have xsplit running, starcraft runs at a SMOOTH perfect 60 fps

This issue didn't occur when i first got this processor. When i first switched out my old processor with this one, i could have both xsplit open and playing starcraft and have smooth 60fps. For some reason now whenever i have xsplit open(not even streaming, necessarily), and i play starcraft i get the laggy/choppyness. I just dont get what happened. It used to work perfectly D;. The CPU is not even that old... i got it about a month to a month and a half ago.

nobody knows what could be causing the choppyness? i dont know if id call it choppyness, the mouse feels smooth but the units kinda stutter a little and dont move as smoothly as when xsplit is closed.

Like others said it's your processor. Yes, it's good, but if you want to stream HD without feeling anything simply OC to 4, or 4.2GHz.

why don't you just lower the fps to 20/18? Will still be fast and should take away some choppyness of yours.

Idk if you can stream in 720P with only .93 upload.

Did you guys read my last post though? I stream in 480p... and the laggyness happens when Xsplit is simply open, not even when im streaming. When i start to stream there pretty much is no difference from when im not streaming but still have xsplit open. Xsplit is causing the choppyness not the process of streaming. I dont know how to fix this :S And to Scrubington, the issue is that it didnt used to be like this when i first got my processor.

Having both starcraft and xsplit open on idle (not in game, and not streaming) leaves my CPU at around 50% usage and has temperature of around 60 degrees Celsius average. Closing xsplit, but leaving starcraft 2 on idle, drops my CPU usage down to about 22% and CPU temperature around 58 degrees Celsius. Just some more info so people can help me figure out how i can fix this issue.

EDIT: Heres an example: http://www.twitch.tv/zoohairz/b/292533138

then at the end of that stream i stopped streaming, but it was still choppy. Then i closed xsplit and everything went back to being 100%smooth. Im just confused as hell almost like Xsplit is causing some kind of memory leak or something.

ISSUE HAS BEEN SOLVED.

Thanks to "winGar" who msged me in-game with a solution. Surprisingly, it fixed it. The solution was to completely turn off Windows Aero, by selecting Windows 7 basic in themes. Xsplit turning off aero doesn't actually turn it off fully, apparently, since it still runs in processes. THX DUDE!

I don't want to be pessimistic, but I really don't think it's related to Aero. I have Aero disabled too and still feel the performance drop when starting XSplit up. Each and every one of my friends who have tried streaming has this too. It's been like that for months, and I'll bet it doesn't have anything to do with your CPU, but rather the way the software is written (and the version you ran then/now). However their new GameSource feature helps alot on the problem.

I can't explain your experience, but I'm feeling sure it just diminished the problem, not remove it? Watch your SC2 ingame framerate when start Xsplit. Feel free to comment on this.

SC2 ingame framerate does drop, theres no doubt about it. But there was a kind of choppyness that would occur and make the game feel a bit sluggish even though fps was around 40. Without xsplit i have constant 60fps, with xsplit it drops to about 45 fps. Its still smooth, though. Aero, for some reason, caused the game to become very choppy and sluggish when xsplit opened up. The game runs completely smooth with xsplit open for me now. Even when streaming i get constant 40-ish fps. It's all good now
