It's completely valid. Intel is better (proven through benchmarks) at almost every pricepoint.

Hardly. At Newegg the FX-8120 is against the i5-2500 which does well around $200, but the match for the FX-6100 is the i3-2100 dual-core at $150.

To stream at all at that point you actually need the AMD. But I gather the guide is geared towards who wants to go all out HD streaming without much concern to cost.


your so wrong. the fx8120 sucks compared to the 2500, but is suitable for streaming i guess. The fx 6100 performs worse than the phenom chips, the i3 2100 beats it in almost everything. But yes phenoms II x4 if overclocked high enough will be able to achieve decent 720p, and possibly 1080 with 6+ cores. But for the extra $20 that the 2500k costs there is no reason to get bulldozer for streaming purposes.

What the hell are you talking about, I said the i5-2500 is better and dual-cores are not suitable to stream.

First, if you have anything less than a quad core processor, you may as well forget about streaming in any kind of decent quality for now. SC2 itself can easily almost max out a dual core CPU, leaving no room for streaming.

1080p comfortably would require at least a i5 2500 or even better a i5 2500k, a 2600 or 2600k would help alot more with hyperthreading. 3-5mbps is the usual bitrate for 1080p content. Depending on your viewers they would need that much to view your stream, unless you were partnered.


CPU is no issue, I own an i7 2600k @3.8Ghz, and bandwidth is so not an issue (FiOS 100/100)
Any help with tweaking the stream settings in XSplit, anyone?
And sadly no, I'm not partnered yet, I'm just putting some content up seriously so I still don't have more than 200-300 recurrent viewers per session/30.000 viewers per month... So that's why I want to deliver something viewable.
TY!

I dont think its possible to get good working stream with that slow upload speed. Its either unwatchable or if you increase quality you are not able to play properly becouse of lag.

XSplit now requires a licence to record sound with AAC...

Bullshit.

Well speedtest says that my upload is ~0.75mbits, when I log onto my router it says ~0.8 -0.9. I stream using 8 quality, 500kbps Bitrate video, and 44.100 KHz 16 bit stereo 64000 bitrate audio.

This is the kind of quality I get http://www.twitch.tv/taydot/b/308822130.

There are a few people here who have had issues streaming at good quality even though they have sufficient bandwidth. My speedtests show me consistently at 10-11 Mbps and I get lag at anything over 500kbps.

My CPU is AMD Phenom II X6 1100T

Am I missing something because I used to have a worse processor and was able to stream at my old house, with a worse connection.

Thanks for any help, I really appreciate it.

simply your connection isnt stable to whatever server your trying to stream to, Test your connection to the streaming servers using xsplits bandwidth tester, if you don;t want to use that one use R1CH's bandwidth/latency check.

The xsplit tester always has me failing. I wish I could just pinpoint exactly what is bottlenecking the speed. Since I pay extra for a business account with my ISP and the speedtests always show me solidly, I can't understand what the problem is. Also, where is R1CH's latency check, I would like to try that.

Thanks for the help.

Edit: Fixed the problem! This should help a decent amount of people if they are experiencing the same problem. If you are on the east coast of the united states your default twitch server is New York, which gets a lot of traffic and is slow as all hell for some reason. At first, I had tried switching locations to NY not realizing it was the default server, so when I switched the Location to East Coast Secondary I was streaming at full blast with no problems.

Thanks to everyone in this thread and TheGunRun of course for helping me out in some way or another.

And now, seeing as its 4am and there's no GSL tonight, I'm going to pass out.

Any thoughts on the soon to come Ivy Bridge CPUs?
Specifically: I wonder if the quad core Core i7-3770T (2,5 GHz; 3,7 with turbo; the IGP is the HD 4000) would be capable of streaming 1920x1080 SC 2 (everything set on low) ... Or would it have to be the Core i7-3770S (3,1/3,9 GHz) or even the Core i7-3770K (3,5/3,9 GHz)? Also: would the HD 4000 be sufficient when it comes to graphics or not?

I'm not sure why you would get an ivy bridge processor and then get a shitty graphics card in all honesty. It *might* run low, but I'm not even sure about that. I'd just go with like a 6770 at the very least if you can't afford a 6870 or can't wait for the 7xxx cards...

No extra graphic card would allow for a smaller pc case, less heat development, less wattage ...

Is there any way to stream without having SC2 set to Windowsmode (fullscreen)?
And what would my recommended settings be? I play SC2 in 1920x1080 with 200 fps.
CPU: intel i5 760 @ 3.6ghz
GPU: geforce gtx 460 oc @ 800mhz
Upload: 1 mb/s

You can switch to FMLE... Or you can play in windowed, other than that, no.

I've thought about trying to stream, just for shits and giggles, and I think my computer can handle it. HOWEVER, my internet is more shit than what comes out of a goat's rear end.
i5 2500
GTX 560 Ti
8GB RAM
Windows 7 64bit

and without further ado, the internet so bad, that 96% of Norway has better:

I've been told by a little birdie that I CAN in fact stream with this, but that the quality would be very, very(very) shitty. How shitty are we talking, like 240p?
