Ok so i play World of Warcraft and I can play it on either low settings or high w/o a problem.
All max settings i sit at 50fps+ constantly. (maybe 30 or so in big towns)
If I play on all low settings. i have 80-120fps constantly.
These are not my issues....
Whenever i start streaming my arena games using xfire my FPS gets massacred down to ~20fps or so. Now i know streaming is strenous on my computer but there is no way its gonna kill my fps by 60-80......
My theory is its my CPU or RAM or something? or that im using a pcie x16 1.0 slot vs. a 2.0 (duno how much of a diff 1.0 vs. 2.0 is)
So my computer specs.
MOBO: Asus P5Rd2-VM (not that great bu meh it works for now) (detailed specs of it below, btw does it support max 2gb total or 2gb per slot?)
http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?modelmenu=2&model=1020&l1=3&l2=11&l3=179&l4=0
CPU: Intel Pentium D 945 3.4ghz OCd to 3.75ghz
RAM: 2x 1024mb DDR2 533mhz
GPU: EVGA Geforce 9800gtx+ 1gb DDR3ram
PSU: Ultra 750watt LSP (at 12v it runs at 45a its a very good PSU)
My comp stays very cool as well. ~around 40-50C MAX.
So can anyone give me some reasons as to why streaming is soo horibble?
I know people who have worse cards and stream at higher fps then i do, however they have more ram or better cpus (hence those were my theories)
btw a small side fact, i recently upgraded to that GPU/PSU previously i had a stock 450w psu and a geforce 7800gt (overclocked) which ran WoW at about 35-45fps ON LOW settings or so (and when i streamed on it I would drop to 15-20 or so) So I KNOW it cant be my GPU. Cuz my non stream FPS jumped 3fold meanwhile my streamed fps changed almost not at all.
Any help is great or computer upgrade suggestions
