Also another quick question, is xsplit able to take advantage of multi core CPU's?

I'm currently running a 980x OC'd to 4.4Ghz but I'm waiting on a mounting bracket so I can setup my Intel DX79SR 2011 motherboard with an i7 3960X. Will be putting it under water and seeing what kind of OC I can achieve and will use that machine to stream with. My 980x is OC'd on air right now so I'm hopeful for a moderate speed increase

That would be a really mean streaming rig! . And yes, XSplit fully supports multiple cores. According to standalone benchmarks for X264 you can expect close to linear scaling when it comes to encoding performance. Capture performance does not scale as well as encoding, but there's a lot of factors going into predicting that

Still curious if you know if xsplit takes advantage of Intel hexacore chips! Haven't found any solidified information yet but I'm searching

edit: it utilizes all cores

Sorry if I was unclear before, XSplit are able to utilize every cpu core available to Windows, be that 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 or more

Hi
Dxtory doesn't work for me, if i push F12 it just does nothing, I tried both fullscreen and fullscreen (windowed) in sc2, even tried making dxtory window active while pushing F12, nothing works. SC2 does show up in target tab in dxtory, and green frame counter is displayed, it just won't turn yellow or start recording.
Thanks in advance.

Ugh, I have the following;

i5 2500k OC'd to 4Ghz
8GB RAM
GTX 560Ti

For some reason, whenever I stream with an output of 720p or more, my in-game frame rate goes down to below 60. Anything below that, and it's smooth sailing for the most part, any idea why?

Can you check your temperatures? A i5 2500k even at stock can stream 720p.....

Peaking at 50 degrees celcius, so that doesn't seem to be a problem.

Sorry, but i don't know, there are some really smart people on this forum who know a lot more than me, so i'd stick around and just keep asking.

What version are you using? For a test, try enabling 'File output', if you can enable DXtory then, you might be using a old version, since it was a previous "bug" (look back on page 1-2ish).

Let's see.
It could be due to the preset? What's yours? And stream FPS? Are you allowing Aero to be on? Is any core on your cpu maxed? And finally, to give me a point of reference, at what settings can you stream comfortably?

i have a i5 2500k too with 4,5 Ghz
8GB RAM
and a GTX 560 ti 448c
i play on 1680x1050 on medium-medium and when i stream i have at the beginning of the game 90 or 100 ~ fps but i see on my scv´s that they are a bit laggy and its really annoying even if i have over 60+ fps dont understand why ~

That's input lag (and probably unrelated to GTR's post). Usually fixed by adjusting the Aero mode to match the capture method, or through changing the capture method (try GameSource or Dxtory). Aero should be off for Screen Regions and on for the others. You can confirm the issue by lowering your stream FPS to 1 and monitor you scv's. Note when you do these tests, always remove and re-add the item from the XSplit scene and preferably test on a clean presentation.

I get choppiness and lag whenever I click "broadcast live", when I do that, my frame rate drops dramatically, to anything from 20 to 30 at max, and is unplayable, without going live I still get somewhat around 60 FPS.
My upload speed is around just under 1 MB.
The bit rate for xsplit is 600. I try streaming in 720 HD, but its so laggy when live, even when dropping frame rate to 15 in xSplit, you still feel the lag, streaming at 480p is much smoother at full FPS on xsplit, but still noticeable.
Is there anyway to stream at 720p without choppiness?

Since you barely have the bitrate needed for 720p, I would highly recommend to stay at 480p or perhaps the better option for you 540p.
What's your preset setting? And is your cpu (any core) maxed when broadcasting?

does anyone know what causes this? talking about the black flickering. is there a set of reccommended sc2 settings i should use with xplit?

i can stream on xplit at a very high quality but when i start a game of sc2 it lags and does the flickering as what was in that vid. also my actual game will be very stuttery and laggy, is this a problem with sc2?

i7 2.67
9gb ram
gtx 260

is my graphics card not meant for this kind of thing? or is there some way i can reduce the load required of sc2 or xplitt to alow it all to run smoothly

edit: also want to add that as long as i am not tabbed to sc2 (fullscreen) everything is fine. but as soon as i alt tab back into sc2 my stream gets laggy and starts stuttering

edit#2: ok it's running smoothly after switching sc2 to fullscreen windowed mode

Anyone had a problem in Xsplit where adding the camera doesn't do anything? File, add camera, Dxtory video 1 and nothing appears in the scene sources box. Directshow output is enabled and so is virtual camera output in Xsplit (if that makes a difference)

If you know how to fix this let me know

What in-game FPS should I expect with xsplit+dxtory? I'm getting ~25 FPS during big battles which seems ... low EDIT: when not streaming I get 55-60FPS on the same scene. 50% drop seems unexpectedly high.

quad-core i7 2600 w/ hyperthreading
GTX 560
game gfx: medium + high shaders + medium effects
resolution: 1920x1200

preset: veryfast + a few custom tweaks to reduce CPU.
quality: 10+ (remember, higher is worse/less CPU)
output: 1280x800
VBV bitrate: 3500kbps

Utilization while streaming a replay:
Xsplit.core.exe: 17-20%
SC2.exe: 15%
VHMultiWriter.exe: 5-10%

Do I have any options to improve framerate w/o sacrificing quality? Can I try to force xsplit to use more threads?
Can we get an official definition of "all-in"? Please?
