Hello guys I've been on and off trying to stream SC2/League of Legends and other various games but it always results in my stream on JTV either being choppy or just lagging. If any other information is needed I will gladly give it and again thank you so much for your time.

My current specs aren't amazing but id assume they would do.

Motherboard: Gigabyte Technology Co Ltd AMD 785G
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 940
GPU:NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250
RAM: 4Gbyte DDR2
HDD: 698/210 Free
PSU: 700W
OS: Windows 7 (64 bit)

Also my download upload speed is 31.20 Download, 5.15 Upload, 12 Ping.

The last settings iv'e streamed with are

1280/720 Resolution 30 Frame Rate

Video
Quality 5
VBV Max Bitrate 1500 VBV Buffer 3000

Audio
44.100 KHz 16 Bit Stereo 64000 Bitrate MP3

Does it lag on your view, or just streams view?

Streamers viewing it, my view looks fine.

Where do you live?
Have you tried checking speedtest.net to an american server?

A general rule that I found :

If you feel delay ingame(more than what you usually have when playing), then it's your connection.
(say you feel like units take longer to respond, or just that sometimes you get an extra second delay or so. It's really easy to notice the different in unit responses)

If you don't feel any more delay than usual(but the game can be a little choppy), then its your CPU not able to handle the transcoding.

Try lowering the frame rate. Bump it down to 24... I know it helped my stream.

Frame rate is directly related to your CPU's performance. Try increasing/lowering the bitrate.

Can you also make a test from pingtest.net and tell me the packet loss / jitter?

Lowering the Bitrate seemed to help a little bit and lowing frame rate to 24. My ping is 36 Jitter 5ms and 0% packetloss.

Your internet is fine, only problem is your CPU, can you check your temps to see if they may be throttling?

Also, try playing sc2 at the same resolution as your xsplit. Sometimes that may help.....

My temperatures don't seem to be too bad everything is high 30s low 40s when gaming only my GPU gets around 56ish when gaming and I read a bunch of threads saying that's normal. I'm at a loss :

SO I finally bought Xsplit started using the in game source which is amazing and moved a few settings around and its working amazing. Do you have to use other programs along with Xsplit to run 1080p etc?

you don't have to run any other programs what-so-ever, everything needed to stream is within the Xsplit Program.

Well I can run on quality 10 if I want although I've read 10 is overkill and there's not much more improvement over 8-9 etc. What other settings should I be playing with to improve quality?

well a quality of 10 will result in better clarity throughout, you will notice less and less pixelization when your moving around the screen at least the viewers will. Messing with the bitrate will only increase the clarity of the stream. You have your bitrate @ around 1500kbs you could increase it to possibly 2-3k depending on how reliable your connection is. Anything higher than 3k bitrate is considered 720p+

its your ram that is the problem. can you tell us how fast it is? in terms of mhz? cause i had ddr2 ram, but like my computer couldnt stream with it. I then got ddr3 and its like simple as pie

He can stream his 720p fine, he just wants to know if he can improve it, ram is not the issue here.

K I just ran it at quality 10 with 3100 Bit rate with no problems at all but the appearance didn't look like it changed at all from quality 8 with 1500 Bit rate.

I'm not getting a option on my JTV channel to switch between quality 360p 480p 720p etc. Also how do I get the annoying black borders to go away >.>

to get the options for 360,480 etc etc you need to be a producer, you can email them asking for it, but you can't use copy rights stuff ever otherwise they might take your producer rights away.

and Higher bitrate will only increase quality and decrease pixelization
